Chromoelectric knot in QCD

We argue that the Skyrme theory describes the chromomagnetic (not chromoelectric) dynamics of QCD. This shows that the Skyrme theory could more properly be interpreted as an effective theory which is dual to QCD, rather than an effective theory of QCD itself. This leads us to predict the existence of a new type of topological knot, a twisted chromoelectric flux ring, in QCD which is dual to the chromomagnetic Faddeev-Niemi knot in Skyrme theory. Although classically stable, the knot has a quantum instability and can decay to gluon pairs. We estimate the mass and the decay width of the lightest chromoelectric knot to be around 50 GeV and 7 GeV.
