(1) Translational invariance
H is invariant under
This causes localization (clustering) of a
two-particle system
(2) Rotational invariance
This causes deformation of two-particle system

39Problems of hadron physics
Clay Mathematics Institute, Millennium Problems
http//www.claymath.org/millennium/
Millennium Problems In order to celebrate
mathematics in the new millennium, The Clay
Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts
(CMI) has named seven Prize Problems. The
Scientific Advisory Board of CMI selected these
problems, focusing on important classic questions
that have resisted solution over the years. The
Board of Directors of CMI designated a 7 million
prize fund for the solution to these problems,
with 1 million allocated to each. During the
Millennium Meeting held on May 24, 2000 at the
Collège de France, Timothy Gowers presented a
lecture entitled The Importance of Mathematics,
aimed for the general public, while John Tate and
Michael Atiyah spoke on the problems. The CMI
invited specialists to formulate each problem.

Yang-Mills Theory gt QCD
- A. Jaffe and E. Witten
- It must have a mass gap, that is, there must be
some strictly positive constant ? such that every
excitation of the vacuum has energy at least ?. - It must have quark confinement, that is, even
though the theory is described in terms of
elementary fields, such as the quarks, that
transform non-trivially under S U (3), the
physical particle states such as the proton,
neutron, and pion are S U (3)-invariant. - It must have chiral symmetry breaking, which
means that the vacuum is potentially invari- ant
(in the limit that the quark bare masses vanish)
only under a certain subgroup of the full
symmetry group that acts on the quark fields.

45Tasks of Physics
Find the ultimate law of everything
Reconstruct phenomena from the law
They are not independent due to the presence of
interactions
We are on the vacuum. Particles are the
excitations of the vacuum.
Complicated system
Physics is to find the properties of the vacuum
and its excitations in the presence of
interactions
46In the microscopic world
Vacuum Ground state is not empty
Particles are interacting with the vacuum
A simply looking system can be more complicated
due to the interaction and change its properties
drastically. E.G. from quarks to Hadrons with
mass generation

53Summary 1
Symmetry can be spontaneously broken by
interactions. Symmetry and broken phase can
change each other. (Temperature, density, ) In
the broken phase, symmetry is recovered by
the presence the Nambu-Goldstone mode. Zero
energy mode pion Collective, and single
particle modes are distinguished. The zero mode
(pions) governs the dynamics at low energy.
