2 We take into account the effects of the flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking in the effective chiral
n action, so that the dynamical quark mass depends on the current quark mass (mf). We compare
a the results of the present approach with those without the current quark mass dependence of the

dynamical quark mass. Itis foundthat theresult of the quarkcondensate is decreased by about 30

about 15%. We obtain the ratios of the quark and quark-gluon mixed condensates, respectively:

1. Understanding the QCD vacuum is very complicated, since both perturbative and
non-perturbative fluctuations come into play. In particular, the quark and gluon conden-
sates, being the lowest dimensional ones, characterize the non-perturbative structure of the
QCD vacuum. The quark condensate is identified as the order parameter for spontaneous
chiral-symmetry breaking (SχSB) which plays an essential role in describing low-energy
phenomena of hadrons: In the QCD sum rule, these condensates come from the operator
product expansion and are related to hadronic observables [1], while in chiral perturbation
theory (χPT), the free parameter B is introduced in the mass term of the effective chiral
0
Lagrangian at the leading order [2] measuring the strength of the quark condensate [3]. On
the other hand, the gluon condensate is not the order parameter but measures the vacuum
energy density [1], which was first estimated by the charmonium sum rule [4].
While the quark and gluon condensates are well understood phenomenologically, higher
dimensional condensates suffer from large uncertainty. Though it is still possible to estimate
dimension-six four-quark condensates in terms of the quark condensate by using the factor-
ization scheme which is justified in the large N limit, the dimension-five mixed quark-gluon
c
condensateisnoteasilydetermined phenomenologically. Inparticular, themixedcondensate
is an essential parameter to calculate baryon masses [5], exotic hybrid mesons [6], higher-
twist meson distribution amplitudes [7] within the QCD sum rules. Moreover, the mixed
quark condensate plays a role of an additional order parameter for SχSB, since the quark
chirality flips via the quark-gluon operator. Thus, it is naturally expressed in terms of the
quark condensate:
hψ¯σµνG ψi = m2hψ¯ψi (1)
µν 0
with the dimensional parameter m2 which was estimated in various works [5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
0
and with the definition G = Ga λa/2.

The instanton picture allows us to study the QCD vacuum microscopically. Since the
instanton picture provides a naturalmechanism forSχSB due to the delocalization of single-
instantonquarkzeromodesintheinstantonmedium, thequarkcondensatecanbeevaluated.
The instanton vacuum is validated by the two parameters: The average instanton size
ρ¯ ∼ 1/3fm and average inter-instanton distance R ∼ 1fm. These essential numbers were
suggested by Shuryak [13] within the instanton liquid model and were derived from Λ by
MS
Diakonov and Petrov [14]. These values were recently confirmed by lattice QCD simulations
[15, 16, 17, 18, 19].
In the present work, we want to investigate the effect of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking
on the above-mentioned three QCD condensates, i.e. quark, gluon, and mixed quark-gluon
condensates, based on the instanton liquid model for the QCD vacuum [20, 21, 22]. The
model was later extended by introducing the current quark masses [23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28].
Since we are interested in the effect of explicit flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking, we follow
the formalism of Ref. [23] in which the dependence of the dynamical quark mass on the
current quark mass has been studied in detail. Though the mixed quark-gluon condensate
was already studied in the instanton vacuum [11], explicit SU(3)-symmetry breaking was
not considered. Hence, we want now to extend the work of Ref. [11], emphasizing the effect
of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking on the QCD vacuum condensates. We will show that
with a proper choice of the m dependence of the dynamical quark mass [29] the gluon
f
condensate is independent of m . The corresponding results are summarized as follows:
f
The ratio [hs¯si/hu¯ui]1/3 = 0.75, [hs¯σ Gµνsi/hu¯σ Gµνui]1/5 = 0.87, m2 = 1.60GeV2, and

2. We start with the effective low-energy QCD partition function from the instanton
vacuum with SU(3)-symmetry breaking taken into account [23, 24, 25]:

where ψ and ψ† denote the quark fields and m stands for the current quark mass for a

given flavor. We consider here the strict large N expansion 1. V and MNf stand for the
c

the current quark mass m in the first bracket in the r.h.s., Eq. (2) turns out to be the
f
same as that derived in the chiral limit [20, 21]. Y in Eq. (2) represents a ’t Hooft-type

where ρ denotes the instanton size and U represents the color orientation matrix. Since we
are interested in the vacuum condensates, it is enough to consider the case of N = 1 in
f
which the integration over U becomes trivial. We employ the instanton distribution of a
delta-function type, so that we get a simple quark-quark interaction for a given flavor f:

F (k) is the Fourier transformation of the fermionic zero mode solution Φ . We implicitly

assumed that F (k) is a function of the current-quark mass. This assumption will be verified

in what follows. Φ satisfies the following Dirac equation under the (anti)instanton effects

suggested in Ref. [29] in which Pobylitsa used a elaborated and systematic expansion of
the quark propagator hx|(i/∂ +A/ +im )−1|xi. By doing this, one can immediately obtain
I f
analytical form of F (k). Here, we make a brief explanation on this method. Diakonov et

al. made a zero-mode approximation for the quark propagator in the instantons [21]:

Recently, it is shown that the effects of mesonic loops on the quark condensate, which is the next-to-
leading order in the Nc expansion, is not small [30]. However, a proper adjustment of the parameters ρ¯
and R may yield approximately the same results as those without the meson-loop corrections.

Pobylitsa expand the quark propagator as follows. Having summed up the planar diagrams,
one arrives the following integral equation for a quark propagator:

where ZI(cid:12)I¯ indicat(cid:12)es the collective coordinate for the (anti)instanton. Then the inverse of
the quark propagator can be approximately written with an arbitrary scalar function to be
determined:

Note that we choose the scalar function to be M F2(i∂) for later convenience. The value of

M will be determined by the self-consistent equation (so called “saddle-point equation”) of

Now, we are in position to discuss the saddle-point equation of the model derived from
the effective QCD partition function. Introducing the Lagrange multipliers λ [22], we are

One can easily find the difference between the effective actions of Eq. (12) and of Eq. (13); In
Eq. (12), the current quark mass m appears as a mass term of the quark fields accounting
f
for the explicit breaking of chiral symmetry, while the m is placed in the quark-instanton
f
vertex in Eq. (13). We note that this configuration of the current quark mass is deeply
related to the parity-violating quark mass term (∝ ψ†γ ψ) in terms of the instanton number
5
fluctuation [21].
Concentrating on the first and third brackets in Eq. (12), we get the fermionic trace log
which relates to the quark propagator as follows:

where the subscripts c and γ denote the color and Dirac-spin spaces. Thus, we obtain the
partition function in a compact form as follows:

Final formula in Eq. (16) is called the saddle-point equation of the model. We employ the
standard values of the instanton ensemble, N/V = 2004 MeV4 and ρ¯ ∼ 1/3 fm ≃ 1/600
MeV−1 for the numerical calculations. From these values, we obtain M = 0.350 GeV,
0
which is determined self-consistently by the saddle-point equation. Using this value, we
obtain ihu†ui ≃ 2503 MeV3 and pion weak decay constant F ≃ 93 MeV. We note that this
π
saddle-point equationiscloselyrelatedtothegluon-condensate[31]; hG Gµνi = 32π2N/V.
µν f
As for an arbitrary N , it becomes rather difficult to obtain the saddle-point equation,
f
since we need to perform a complicated integration over the color orientation. However,
keeping only the leading order in the large N limit and additional variation over the Her-
c
mitian N ×N flavor matrix (M in Ref. [21]), we have the same form of the saddle-point
f f
equation for each flavor as shown in Eq. (16). The similar argument is also possible for the
quark and mixed condensates [11, 21, 24].
Being similar to the saddle-point equation (the gluon condensate), the quark condensate
for each flavor can be obtained by the following functional derivative with respect to the
current quark mass m :

Now, we discuss how to calculate the mixed condensate, hq¯σ Gµνqi. Actually, the local

operatorinside thiscondensate corresponds to thequark-gluoninteractionof aYukawa type.
However, in the present work, the gluon field strength (G ) can be expressed in terms of
µν
the quark-instanton interaction [11, 21]. First, the one flavor quark and one instanton
interaction in Eq. (3) can be rewritten as a function of space-time coordinates x and color
orientation matrix U:

Here, we assume again the delta function-type instanton distribution. We define then the

condensate, the situation may be somewhat different from the cases of the gluon and quark
condensates. We note that, though the mixed condensate has been calculated for the case
of N = 1, the same formula of Eq. (21) still holds for each flavor with arbitrary N as
f f
discussed previously [11].
3. We first discuss the numerical results for the gluon condensate, hG Gµνi/32π2 =

numerical results of the gluon condensates with and without the m -correction factor f(m )
f f
in Eq. (10). As shown in Fig. 1, the result with f(m ) is noticeably different from that
f
without it. Since the gluon condensate is related to the vacuum energy density, it should
be independent of the current quark mass m . However, if we turn off the m -correction
f f
factor, the gluon condensate increases almost linearly. It indicates that it is essential to
have the m -correction factor f(m ) in order to consider SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking

properly. In Table I we list the values of the gluon condensate when m = m = 5 MeV and
f u
m = m = 150 MeV with and without f(m ).

In Fig. 2, we depict the results of the quark condensate in a similar manner. In general,
the quark condensate decreases as the value of m increases, as already shown in Ref. [30].

The values of the quark condensate are listed in Table II. As for the u-quark condensate,
we have −2503 ∼ −2603 MeV3. Here, we assume isospin symmetry for the light quarks;
m = m = 5 MeV. We find that the nonstrange quark condensate does not depend much
u d
on f(m ). In contrast, the strange one is sensitive to the m correction factor as shown
f f
in Table II (and also in Fig. 2). We find that without the f(m ) the quark condensate is
f
decreased by about 10 % as m increases from 0 to 200 MeV, while it is diminished by
f
about 30 % with the f(m ). Being compared with the results of Refs. [9, 23, 32], the quark
f
condensate in the present work is obtained to be similar to them with the correction factor.

We now consider the effect of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking by calculating the ratios
between the nonstrange condensates and the strange ones. As already discussed, the ratio
of the gluon condensates remains unity for the m -correction factor. As for the ratio of

the quark condensate, [hs¯si/hu¯ui]1/3, there is a great amount of theoretical calculations and
thoseresultslieintherange: 0.79 ∼ 1.03[9,23,32]. Ourresultsare0.75 ∼ 0.93forthequark

our results are in good agreement with them.

If O and O stand for the mixed and quark condensates respectively, we have γ = −2/3
1 2 1
and γ = 4 resulting in (γ −γ )/b = −14/27 ≃ −0.52. On the contrary, we have γ /b =

−2/27 ≃ −0.07 and γ /b = 4/9 ≃ 0.44. Thus, m2 shows relatively strong dependence on
2 0
the scale, whereas the quark and mixed condensates are less influenced by the scaling. Thus,
m2 depends more strongly on the scale.

Finally, we would like to mention that the relation between the mixed condensate and the
expectation value of the transverse momentum for the leading-twist light-cone distribution
amplitude. This relation can be written as follows:
5 hu¯σ Gµνui 5m2
hk2i = µν = 0. (26)
T π 36 hu¯ui 36
Considering m2 for the light quarks in Table IV (m2 = 0.16GeV2), we get hk2i = 0.2GeV2.

Note that the value estimated here is in qualitatively good agreement with that calculated
