The interacting instanton liquid model (IILM) is used to explore the role of instanton-induced dynamics in hadron structure. To support the validity of this model in the chiral regime, the quark mass dependencies of several properties are shown to agree with chiral perturbation theory, including the density of eigenmodes of the Dirac operator and the mass of the pion. A quark mass m∗=80MeV emerging naturally from the model is shown to specify the mass scale above which the fermion determinant is suppressed, the zero modes become subdominant, and the density of quasizero modes become independent of the quark mass.

Abstract

The interacting instanton liquid model (IILM) is used to explore the role of instanton-induced dynamics in hadron structure. To support the validity of this model in the chiral regime, the quark mass dependencies of several properties are shown to agree with chiral perturbation theory, including the density of eigenmodes of the Dirac operator and the mass of the pion. A quark mass m∗=80MeV emerging naturally from the model is shown to specify the mass scale above which the fermion determinant is suppressed, the zero modes become subdominant, and the density of quasizero modes become independent of the quark mass.
