Exact-propagator Instantaneous Bethe–salpeter Equation for Quark–antiquark Bound States
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently an instantaneous approximation to the Bethe–Salpeter formalism for the analysis of bound states in quantum field theory has been proposed which retains, in contrast to the Salpeter equation, as far as possible the exact propagators of the bound-state constituents, extracted nonperturbatively from Dyson–Schwinger equations or lattice gauge theory. The implications of this improvement for the solutions of this bound-state equation, that is, the spectrum of the mass eigenvalues of its bound states and the corresponding wave functions, when considering the quark propagators arising in quantum chromodynamics are explored.

Generalized Instantaneous Bethe–Salpeter Equation and Exact Quark Propagators
Assuming all interactions to be instantaneous and the exact fermion propagator S to be approximately given by iS−1(p)= A(p2) p/−B(p2), i.e., with its scalar functions A and B depending only on p, a three-dimensional reduction of the homogeneous Bethe–Salpeter equation retaining, in contrast to the Salpeter equation, the exact propagators (crucial for, e.g., a proper incorporation of dynamical c...
متن کاملA Bethe–Salpeter Description of Light Mesons
We present a covariant approach to describe the low–lying scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axialvector mesons as quark–antiquark bound states. This approach is based on an effective interaction modeling of the non–perturbative structure of the gluon propagator that enters the quark Schwinger–Dyson and meson Bethe–Salpeter equations. We extract the meson masses and compute the pion and kaon deca...
متن کاملPion mass and decay constant
Independent of assumptions about the form of the quark-antiquark scattering kernel we derive the explicit relation between the pion Bethe-Salpeter amplitude, Γπ, and the quark propagator in the chiral limit; Γπ necessarily involves a non-negligible γ5γ · P term (P is the pion four-momentum). We also obtain exact expressions for the pion decay constant, fπ, and mass, both of which depend on Γπ; ...
