Summary

The vacuum expectation value ⟨qΛ‰q⟩\langle\bar q q\rangle, an order parameter for spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking in the chiral limit; its numerical value depends on renormalization scheme and scale.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The quark condensate is a conventional order parameter for chiral-symmetry breaking in idealized light-quark limits.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
