Anomalous Effective Lagrangian and Theta Dependence in QCD at Finite N_c
read the original abstract
We generalize the large N_c Di Vecchia-Veneziano-Witten (VVW) effective chiral Lagrangian to the case of finite N_c by constructing the anomalous effective Lagrangian for QCD. The latter is similar to its SUSY counterpart, and has a holomorphic structure. The VVW construction is then recovered, along with 1/N_c corrections, after integrating out the heavy "glueball" fields. A new mass formula for eta' meson in terms of QCD condensates is obtained. The picture of theta dependence in QCD for finite N_c is more complicated than the one predicted by the large N_c approach.

Dilaton-Flattened Axion Inflation
Dilaton backreaction on an anomaly-inspired axion potential generates a closed-form Lambert-W flattened hilltop, giving r ≈ 0.033–0.036 and α_s ≈ −4.6×10^{-4} at N=56 with strictly adiabatic dynamics.
