摘要:In a space with some sufficiently small compact dimension (with non-trivial cycles) and with
periodic boundary conditions for the fermions, the charge conjugation (C), spatial parity (P), time
reversal (T) and CPT symmetries are spontaneously broken in QCD. We have investigated what
are the physical consequences of the breaking of these discrete symmetries, that is what local
observables can be used to detect it. We show that the breaking induces the generation of baryon
currents, propagating along the compact dimensions.
