Action and topological charge densities of the Euclidean-space QCD vacuum are visualized in three-dimensional slices of a 24^3 x 36 space-time lattice and an order-a^2 improved 16^3 x 32 lattice. Features include instanton anti-instanton annihilation and a comparison of standard and over-improved actions used in the smoothing of the gauge fields.

  1. Thick oriented and nonoriented center-vortex $SU(N)$ configurations with fractional topological charge lumps

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit thick SU(N) center-vortex configurations with non-Abelian phases yield fractional topological charge lumps (1/3, 2/3, 1/2) and match the geometry of lattice-observed lumps.

  2. Anomalies, Topology, and Hadron Structure in QCD

    hep-ph 2026-06 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review unifying the QCD axial and trace anomalies with vacuum topology, arguing that the proton spin puzzle and the U(1)_A problem are both controlled by topological screening encoded in the susceptibility slope χ′(0).

  3. Generic framework for non-perturbative QCD in light hadrons

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    The instanton liquid model, with instanton size, density, and quark mass as its main inputs, is presented as a generic framework for light-hadron vacuum condensates, matrix elements, and form factors.
