AbstractTo all orders of perturbation theory, the renormalization of the topological charge density in dimensionally regularized QCD is shown to require no more than an additive renormalization proportional to the divergence of the flavour-singlet axial current. The proof is based on the standard BRS analysis of the QCD vertex functional in the background gauge and exploits the special algebraic properties of the charge density through the Stora–Zumino chain of descent equations.

The ten nonleptonic weak decays K→2π, K→ 3π, KL→2γ, KS→2γ, KL→π02γ, are predicted for a chiral pole model based on the linear sigma model theory which automatically satisfies the partial conservation of axial current (PCAC) hypothesis. These predictions, agreeing with data to the 5% level and containing no or at most one free parameter, are compared with the results of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). The latter ChPT approach to one-loop level is known to contain at least four free parameters and then predicts a KL→π0γγ rate which is 60% shy of the experimental value.

The topological Chern-Simons gauge theory is studied in the framework of perturbation theory. Both dimensional and F2 regularizations are used. We demonstrate the vanishing of the beta function up to three loops, the absence of diffeomorphism anomaly in the calculation of two- and three-point functions, and the validity of a topological Ward identity by finite renormalization of the coupling constant. The regularization dependence of the finite renormalization and an ambiguity in the dimensional regularization are also discussed.

We estimate a possibleη′gluonic contribution to the self-energy of a nucleon in an effective theory. The couplings of the topological charge density to nucleons give rise to OZI violatingη′-nucleon interactions. The one-loop self-energy of nucleon arising due to these interactions is studied using a heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The divergences have been removed using appropriate form factors. The nontrivial structure of the QCD vacuum has also been taken into account. The numerical results are sensitive to the choice of the regulator to a nonnegligible extent. We get the total contribution to the nucleon mass coming from its interaction with the topological charge densityδmtot≅-(2.5–7.5)% of the nucleon mass.
