Perturbative RG Analysis of the Condensate Dependence of the Axial Anomaly in the Three-Flavor Linear Sigma Model

Coupling of `t Hooft’s determinant term is investigated in the framework of the three-flavor linear sigma model as a function of the chiral condensate. Using perturbation theory around the minimum point of the effective action, we calculate the renormalization group flow of the first field-dependent...
