Abstract

This is the first work in the series devoted to the instanton-induced effects in QCD, with Nc = Nf = 3. We report the results of numerical simulation of the ensemble of interacting pseudoparticles. All its qualitative features suspected earlier on phenomenological grounds are indeed reproduced. The chiral symmetry is broken, and the value of the quark condensate is measured. Our result |〈ψψ〉| 1 3 〈(gG)2 1 4 = 0.30-0.32, is in good agreement with experiment.
