Virtualities of Quarks and Gluons in QCD Vacuum and Nonlocal Condensates within Single Instanton Approximation

Abstract

We calculate the lowest-dimensional nonlocal quark and gluon condensates within the single instanton approximation of the instanton liquid model. As a result, we determine the values of average virtualities of quarks ${\lambda }_q^2$ and gluons ${\lambda }_g^2$ in the QCD vacuum and obtain parameterless predictions for the ratio ${\lambda }_g^2/{\lambda }_q^2=12/5$, and for some ratios of different vacuum condensates of higher dimensions. The nonlocal properties of quark and gluon condensates are analyzed, and insufficiency of the single instanton approximation is discussed.
