Confinement contains condensates
read the original abstract
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and its connection with the generation of hadron masses has historically been viewed as a vacuum phenomenon. We argue that confinement makes such a position untenable. If quark-hadron duality is a reality in QCD, then condensates, those quantities that were commonly viewed as constant empirical mass-scales that fill all spacetime, are instead wholly contained within hadrons; viz., they are a property of hadrons themselves and expressed, e.g., in their Bethe-Salpeter or light-front wave functions. We explain that this paradigm is consistent with empirical evidence, and incidentally expose misconceptions in a recent Comment.

Poincar\'e invariance and the Unruh effect
Acceleration has no effect on a causality-enforcing trivial vacuum, so the Unruh effect is absent and standard calculations omit a cancelling contribution from Lorentz transformations acting on the detector.
