According to the Leutwyler–Smilga relation, in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the topological susceptibility vanishes linearly with the quark masses. Calculations of the topological susceptibility in the context of lattice QCD, extrapolated to zero quark masses, show a remnant nonzero value as a lattice artefact. Employing the Atiyah–Singer theorem in the framework of Symanzik’s effective action and chiral perturbation theory, we show the validity of the Leutwyler–Smilga relation in lattice QCD with lattice artefacts of order a2 in the lattice spacing a.

Functional integral calculus (FIC) methods are used to transform the meson-diquark bosonisation of quantum chromodynamics into a meson-baryon effective action description of the low energy states of QCD-the adronisation of QCD.

Previously the functional integral formulation of quantum chromodynamics <QCD) has been transformed into one involving colour singlet and colour octet bilocal fields describing qq states. While useful in determining the effective action for the observable colour singlet mesons, this formulation is of no use in determining the effective action for the baryon states. Here we show that there exists an alternative bosonisation of QCD in which the colour singlet meson fields and the colour triplet diquark fields form a complete set of functional integration variables. These diquark fields play an essential role in the colour singlet baryon states.
