(arXiv:0911.3865v1 [hep-ph]) http://en.redtram.com/go/231075085/top100/ 231075085 It is well-known that chiral symmetry breaking ($\chi$SB) in QCD with$N_{f}=2$ light quark flavours can be described by orthogonal groups as $O(4)\to O(3)$, due to local isomorphisms. Here we discuss the question how specificthis property is.
