Unphysical topological charge of nonabelian gauge theory

ORAL

Abstract

We show that the topological charge of nonabelian gauge theory is not observable, which leads to the resolution of the Strong CP problem [1]. We then inspect the phenomenological consequences to particle physics. The most notable implication is the prohibition of the 't Hooft vertex and the sphaleron induced baryogenesis [2].
