QCD strings and the U(1) problem
We promote the usual QCD θ-parameter to a field and interpret it as the phase of the quark condensate, which becomes nontrivial when topological defects, vortices in our formulation, are induced in the quark condensate by the QCD strings (chromoelectric flux tubes). The QCD topological term emerges...
