我们考察了QCD的各种UV完成过程中,小瞬子对轴子质量的贡献。我们指出,这种贡献的潜在优势背后的原因是QCD在UV理论中的非平凡嵌入。在有效理论中,部分破缺规范群中瞬子的影响表现为“分数瞬子”修正。只要嵌入指数不是平凡的,这些就会在问题中的不同尺度上表现出不寻常的依赖关系。在最简单的乘积模型中,我们给出了轴子质量的一个完整的单瞬子计算,仔细跟踪了数值前置因素。我们不使用‘t Hooft算符近似,而是直接评估真空气泡的贡献,自动捕捉到用希格斯环封闭外部费米子线的影响。这种方法显然是有限的,并消除了与为希格斯环引入截止标度相关的不确定性。我们证实,对于很高的破缺标度和至少三个群因子,小瞬子可能主导QCD的贡献。
We examine the contribution of small instantons to the axion mass in various UV completions of QCD. We show that the reason behind the potential dominance of such contributions is the non-trivial embedding of QCD into the UV theory. The effects from instantons in the partially broken gauge group appear as “fractional instanton” corrections in the effective theory. These will exhibit unusual dependences on the various scales in the problem whenever the index of embedding is non-trivial. We present a full one-instanton calculation of the axion mass in the simplest product group models, carefully keeping track of numerical prefactors. Rather than using a’t Hooft operator approximation we directly evaluate the contributions to the vacuum bubble, automatically capturing the effects of closing up external fermion lines with Higgs loops. This approach is manifestly finite and removes the uncertainty associated with introducing a cutoff scale for the Higgs loops. We verify that the small instantons may dominate over the QCD contribution for very high breaking scales and at least three group factors.
