Abstract

We give an explanation of the $\mathrm{CP}$ conservation of strong interactions which includes the effects of pseudoparticles. We find it is a natural result for any theory where at least one flavor of fermion acquires its mass through a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field which has nonvanishing vacuum expectation value.

It is shown that the properties of high-${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{c}}$ oxide superconductors are consistent with a model in which the charge carriers are holes in the O(2p) states ...
