ABOUT THE REALIZATION OF CHIRAL SYMMETRY IN QCD(2)

Two dimensional massless quantum chromodynamics presents many features which resemble those of the true theory. In particular the spectrum c onsists of mesons and baryons arranged in flavour multiplets without p arity doubling. We analyze the implications of chiral symmetry, which is not spontaneously broken in two dimensions, in the spectrum and in the quark condensate. We study how parity doubling, an awaited consequ ence of Coleman's theorem, is avoided due to the dimensionality of spa ce-time and confinement. We prove that a chiral phase transition is no t possible in the theory.
