Contribution of quark loops to the effective action in a model with four-quark interaction

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

We treat a nonlinear model which includes a four-quark interaction and which accounts for the effect of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the pseudoscalar particle sector. We obtain the Wess-Zumino-Witten action as a contribution to an effective chiral action from the quark loops with five meson ends. The coupling constant between the quarks and the pseudoscalar mesons is related by the Goldberger-Treiman relation to the mass of the constituent quarks and the meson decay constant. Accounting for the vector-meson sector and the corresponding contributions of the quark loops to the effective chiral action (ECA) leads to new Wess-Zumino terms in the ECA.
