Chiral Lagrangian and chiral quark model from confinement in QCD

Abstract

The effective chiral Lagrangian in both nonlocal form $L_{ECCL}$ and standard local form $L_{ECL}$ are derived in QCD using the confining kernel, obtained in the vacuum correlator formalism. As a result all coefficients of $L_{ECL}$ can be computed via $q\bar{q}$ Green's functions. In the $p^2$ order of $L_{ECL}$ one obtains GOR relations and quark decay constants $f_a$ are calculated $a=1,...8$, while in the $p^4$ order the coefficients $L_1,L_2,L_3,L_4,L_5,L_6$ are obtained in good agreement with the values given by data. The chiral quark model is shown to be a simple consequence of $L_{ECCL}$ with defined coefficients. It is demonstrated that $L_{ECCL}$ gives an extension of the limiting low-energy Lagrangian $L_{ECL}$ to arbitrary momenta.
