Abstract: (Elsevier)

An interplay between vacuum structure in gauge theories and cosmology is discussed and a possible solution of the strong CP violation problem in gauge theories is suggested.

GAUGE FIELD THEORY: VACUUM STATE
ASTROPHYSICS
CP: violation
GAUGE FIELD THEORY: YANG-MILLS
GAUGE FIELD THEORY: MASSLESS
TRANSFORMATION: GAUGE
QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS: DENSITY MATRIX
