Abstract

We make progress towards a derivation of a low energy effective theory for SU(2) Yang–Mills theory. This low energy action is computed to 1-loop using the renormalization group technique, taking proper care of the Slavnov–Taylor identities in the Maximal Abelian Gauge. After that, we perform the Spin-Charge decomposition in a way proposed by Faddeev and Niemi. The resulting action describes a pair of nonlinear O(3) and [Formula: see text]-models interacting with a scalar field. The potential of the scalar field is a Mexican hat and the location of the minima sets the energy scale of solitonic configurations of the [Formula: see text]-model fields whose excitations correspond to glueball states.
