Abstract
We present a generalized linear sigma model that includes both scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs in addition to a quark-antiquark as well as a four-quark chiral nonet. Utilizing the axial and trace anomalies of QCD (at the effective mesonic level), we aim to develop the most general structure of the Lagrangian which can be used to study the interaction of quarkonia with glueballs. We then study the effect of scalar glueball on the vacuum of the model by considering a decoupling limit in which the glueball fields are decoupled from quarkonia. This determines the properties of the pure scalar glueball and builds a practical foundation for determining the model parameters when the interactions are turned on.
