{theta} vacua, confinement and the continuum limit

Abstract

We investigate the dependence of the CP{sup 3} model and of the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on the vacuum angle {theta}. The CP{sup 3} model exhibits a first-order deconfining phase transition in {theta}. The critical value of {theta} runs from {pi} in the strong coupling limit towards zero as {beta} is taken to infinity. Qualitatively the same behavior is found in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. We discuss the renormalization group trajectories. Only the line with {theta}=0 allows the cut-off to go to infinity, while the lines with {theta}>0 end on the line of first order phase transitions. Thus {theta} is forced to zero in the continuum limit. ((orig.)).
