Intermediate energy spectrum of five colour QCD at one loop

TL;DR

This paper explores the vacuum structure of five-colour QCD, revealing a hierarchy of confinement scales and emergent forces without Higgs mechanisms, based on one-loop monopole condensate analysis.

Contribution

It introduces a novel vacuum condensate adjustment in five-colour QCD that naturally produces confinement hierarchies and emergent forces without relying on Higgs fields.

Findings

Hierarchy of confinement scales emerges naturally.

QCD and QED-like forces arise from the vacuum structure.

Naive lowest energy state is unattainable at one-loop for five or more colours.

Abstract

I consider the monopole condensate of five colour QCD. The naive lowest energy state is unobtainable at one-loop for five or more colours due to simple geometry. The consequent adjustment of the vacuum condensate generates a hierarchy of confinement scales in a natural Higgs-free manner. QCD and QED-like forces emerge naturally, acting upon matter fields that may be interpreted as down quarks, up quarks and electrons.
