The discussion centers on understanding the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum and its model-independent expectation value. Participants seek foundational literature on the topic, highlighting a specific paper from arXiv as a valuable resource. The conversation mentions Peccei's role in introducing the Axion to address the strong CP problem linked to QCD vacuum structure. Additionally, Weinberg's Quantum Field Theory volume 2 is recommended for further insights. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexity of the QCD vacuum and the need for accessible literature.

How to understand QCD vacuum? What is the model independent expectation value for it? Looking for some basic literature on it.

Thanks in advance!
 
The question is a bit vague to me, but for example a place where a discussion on the QCD vacuum can be found is:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0607268.pdf

Peccei was one of the "inventors" of the Axion in order to provide a solution of the so called strong CP problem, which arises precisely due to the structure of the QCD vacuum.

I hope this helps

you could also try Weinberg's QFT vol 2
