Physical Review Letters, 1977•APSWe give an explanation of the 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.

Abstract
We give an explanation of the 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.
