From pions to pentaquarks
Dmitri Diakonov
I overview the physical picture of QCD at low energies that has led to the prediction of a narrow exotic baryon Theta^+ which cannot be made of three quarks. The very narrow width…
Comment on the Theta+ width and mass
Dmitri Diakonov, Victor Petrov, Maxim Polyakov
We discuss the relatively low mass and narrow width prediction for the exotic baryon Theta+, and comment on recent statements by R.L. Jaffe on the subject. We reaffirm that a narro…
A heretical view on linear Regge trajectories
Dmitri Diakonov, Victor Petrov
We discuss a possibility that linear Regge trajectories originate not from gluonic strings connecting quarks, as it is usually assumed, but from pion excitations of light hadrons.…
Yang-Mills theory as a quantum gravity with `aether'
Dmitri Diakonov, Victor Petrov
Quantum Yang-Mills theory can be rewritten in terms of gauge-invariant variables: it has the form of the so-called BF gravity, with an additional `aether' term. The BF gravity base…
On the Non-Abelian Stokes Theorem
Dmitri Diakonov, Victor Petrov
We present the non-Abelian Stokes theorem for the Wilson loop in various forms and discuss its meaning. Its validity has been recently questioned by Faber, Ivanov, Troitskaya and Z…
Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Color Superconductivity in the Instanton Picture
Gregory W. Carter, Dmitri Diakonov
The instanton approach to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is reviewed, with emphasis on the connection to chiral random matrix theory. We extend the approach to discuss the fi…
