One flavor QCD

Abstract

One flavor QCD is a rather intriguing variation on the underlying theory of hadrons. In this case quantum anomalies remove all chiral symmetries. This paper discusses the qualitative behavior of this theory as a function of its basic parameters, exploring the non-trivial phase structure expected as these parameters are varied. Comments are made on the expected changes to this structure if the gauge group is made larger and the fermions are put into higher representations.
