Aspects of Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is a nonperturbative phenomenon that may be studied using QCD’s gap equation. Model-independent results can be obtained with a nonperturbative and symmetry preserving truncation. The gap equation yields the massive dressed-quark propagator, which has a spectral representation when considered as a function of the current-quark mass. This enables an explication of the connection between the infrared limit of the QCD Dirac operator’s spectrum and the quark condensate appearing in the operator product expansion.

متن کاملChiral Dynamics in Nuclear Systems
A survey is given on selected topics concerning the role of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in low-energy QCD, and its dynamical implications for nuclear systems. This includes aspects of chiral thermodynamics (the temperature and density dependence of the chiral condensate). It also includes an update on the theory of low-energy (s-wave) pion-nuclear interactions relevant for deeply-bound...

In terms of an effective chiral theory of mesons it is shown quantitatively that in the limit of mq = 0, the masses of ρ, ω, K (892), mφ, a1, f1(1286), K1(1400), and f1(1510) mesons originate from dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.
متن کاملDynamical Mass Generation in QED3 with Chern–Simons Term
In (2+1)-dimensional QED with a Chern-Simons term, we study dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry, using the Dyson–Schwinger equation for the fermions. There is a region in parameter space were dynamical chiral symmetry breaking occurs, just as in pure QED3 (without Chern–Simons term); outside this region, this chiral symmetry breaking solution does not exists. Our results, both numerically and...
متن کاملFinite-size effects on the chiral phase diagram of four-fermion models in four dimensions
We study the size dependence of the dynamical symmetry breaking in the fourdimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We show that the presence of boundaries reduces the chiral breaking region, and this effect is strengthened for a larger number of compactified dimensions. A critical value for the length of the compactified dimensions exists, below which the dynamical symmetry breaking is not possib...
