The Electrostrong Relation by Nikola Perkovic Institute of Physics and Mathematics, University of Novi Sad Abstract In an attempt to eliminate the Landau Pole from QED by “borrowing” asymptotic freedom from QCD, I was successful in uniting the coupling constants of the two, respectively, in the “Electrostrong relation”. The Landau pole, estimated at around , leads to a value of in the Electrostrong Relation, instead of infinity as was the case before. In addition,− the Strong CP problem is also solved proving that there is no eVneed for fine tuning in Q = . QCD. The first step however, was improving the measurement for the running of the strong coupling constant that can be tested experimentally for value of for the energy scale, QCD integration parameter offering such a prediction for the first time. Q (ΛQ) ΛQ 1 I Introduction The two dimensionless running constants and will be united in a single equation, the Electrostrong Relation, allowing us to both provide a solution for the Strong CP problem and remove the problem arising due to infinities inQ knownQ as the Landau pole [1] when on a very large value of the fine-structure constant therefore we will effectively make QED a mathematically complete theory. The Landau poleQ will be eliminated since QCD enjoys Q → ∞ asymptotic freedom [2], which will be “borrowed” offering us exactly what we need since - expansion (see Appendix 1 for a short introduction to -expansion) describes the asymptotic behavior of a denominator of convergents of continued fractions. The paper will also provide the first prediction for the value and improve the accuracy for the measurement of the running values of the strong coupling constant. (ΛQ) In QED vacuum polarization corrections to processes involving the exchange of virtual photons result in a dependence, of the effective fine structure constant , which is known as the running of a coupling constant which is, for the running of the fine structure constant, parameterizedQ as: Q (1.1) − − where at the scale of the Landau pole, approximatelyQ = −around ∆Q , the problem of infinities arises. This problem does not exist within QCD since in the running of the strong coupling constant there is asymptotic freedom. eV The strong interactionsQ do not violate CP symmetry in the manner of the weak interactions since the gauge interactions in QCD involve vector currents instead of chiral currents. Experiments too do not indicate CP violation in the QCD sector. However, if one writes the additional term in the Lagrangian density as: (1.2) A A μ ℒ = FμF̃ it contains the topological term with the QCD vacuumπ angle , which violates CP symmetry and it can, if non-zero, lead to experimentally detectable CP violating effects. In short this is reffered to as the Strong CP problem.

Let’s remember that Lebesgue measure was used in the introduction to - m a = N = gs = π expansion. A generalization of the Lebesgue measure for any locally compact√ group is known as the Haar measure [4]. We know that the simple compact Lie group we need is (see the paper by G. Nagy [5]). From the invariant metric with a unitarity, provided SUN that all eigenvalues different. For matrixes and we get and in a ds = gdx dx given set of coordinates we attain the invariant measure:† † † W W WdW + dWW = (2.1) dx = √det gx ∏ dx we parameterize the matrix as therefore we conclude that: W W = expitT (2.2) det g ~det Q ∏| − | the distribution of eigenvalues on the unitary group> is given by the invariant measure: (2.3) d = ∏|expi − exp(i)| ∏ d which is valid for groups. If we> impose the constraint mod and implement it -function, the density distribution of the eigenvalues in is given by the formula by a δ above as well. ForU theN group this would be of the form:Σ = π SUN SU q q ∑ e ∑ e (2.4) | | H = ∏|expi − exp(i)| = ∑ e̅q ∑ eq > | | q q We must first describe the running of and then proceed∑ e̅ to ∑connect e̅ it to the running of . Using -functions for QCD, a group theory we have for Q Q SU i=,,,…,n (2.5) b b b = − − − ⋯ π π π 3 where the QCD -function has a negative sign due to gluons carrying color charge which leads to self-interactions. At one-loop order we determine: (2.6) = − b ln Now we introduce the -expansion for a real number : q ∞ (2.7) − x = ∑ c q where for all we have where= doesn’t have to be an integer and is a floor function [6]. We connect equations 2.6 and 2.7 which yield: n c q c q (2.8) − Q ΛQ q = + 풪 meaning that from equation 2.7 equals π which isQ the correction due to QCD effects and is the integration constant which coresponds to the scale where the x x = Q perturbatively defined coupling would deverge and we use a value of but other values ΛQ = can be used as well. Knowing the values MeV c = , c = . − .n, c = −. − where the coefficient of the -dependent piece in the term is yet to be determined and is .n − .n − ., c = −. + .n − .n + .n + C the number of flavors, allows us to establish that is consistent with the C n Vandermonde determinant of the Haar measure for SU(3). We introduce the = (∑ eq) ⁄ ∑ eq vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field [7]. When a local rather than global symmetry is spontaneously broken the gauge field of the broken H symmetry becomes massive,v leading= toGeV what should be a Goldstone scalar to become a longitudinal mode of the massive vector, which works for both abelian and non-abelian local symmetries. In the non-abelian case, for each spontaneously broken generator of the local symmetry the corresponding gauge field becomes massive. The Higgs mechanism푎 gives quarks mass and leaves photons and gluons푎 T A휇x massless therefore we measure for the first time, being that no other theory predicted the running value of for the parameter: (ΛQ) ΛQ v (2.9) Q) ln (Λ (ΛQ) = π 4 This allows experimental tests to determine if the predicted value of is accurate and therefore test the -expansion method. The equation for the running value of is then: (ΛQ) Q (2.10) (ΛQ) Q = Q ln ( Q) where it is evident that QCD enjoys asymptotic freedom.Λ For we add squared values for and . The numerical results are provided in the table 1 bellow. All the values are in Q great agreement with experimental values such as provided by [8], [9], [10], [11]. Particle Data v, ΛQ Q Group [12] provides the world average . The method offered by - expansion offers much desired [13] accuracy and simplicity. Mz = . Using the Lyapunov exponent for the rate of exponential divergence from the initial perturbed conditions, we have where the constant has the form and − ′ where we used the Housdorff →∞ dimension [14].
