Vafa–Witten theorem
 | This article needs attention from an expert in Physics. The specific problem is: where is the statement of the theorem?. (August 2017) |
 | This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (April 2021) |
In
global symmetries (those that transform as expected under reflections) such as isospin and baryon number in vector-like gauge theories like quantum chromodynamics cannot be spontaneously broken as long as the theta angle
is zero. This theorem can be proved by showing the exponential fall off of the propagator of fermions.
