Abstract

We derive an effective low energy action for QCD in 4 dimensions. The low energy dynamics is described by chiral fields transforming non-trivially under both color and flavor. We use the method of anomaly integration from the QCD action. The solitons of the theory have the quantum numbers of quarks. They are expected to be the constituent quarks of hadrons. In two dimensions our result is exact, namely the bosonic gauged action of WZW.
