Abstract We study θ dependence of the vacuum energy for the 4d SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory by lattice numerical simulations. The response of topological excitations to the smearing procedure is investigated in detail, in order to extract topological information from smeared gauge configurations. We determine the first two coefficients in the θ expansion of the vacuum energy, the topological susceptibility χ and the first dimensionless coefficient b2, in the continuum limit. We find consistency of the SU(2) results with the large N scaling. By analytic continuing the number of colors, N , to non-integer values, we infer the phase diagram of the vacuum structure of SU(N) gauge theory as a function of N and θ. Based on the numerical results, we provide quantitative evidence that 4d SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at θ = π is gapped with spontaneous breaking of the CP symmetry.

Self Duality

The anti-self-duality equations for gauge fields in d = 4 and a generalization of these equations to dimension d = 4n are considered. For gauge fields with values in an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] we introduce the ansatz which reduces the anti-self-duality equations in the Euclidean space ℝ4n to a system of equations breaking up into the well known Nahm's equations and some linear equations for scalar field φ.
