On the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a systematic algebraic and numerical investigation of the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation. Emphasis is placed on confining interaction kernels of the Lorentz scalar, time component vector, and full vector types. We explore stability of the solutions and Regge behavior for each of these interactions, and conclude that only time component vector confinement leads to normal Regge structure and stable solutions.

Instantaneous Bethe–salpeter Equation with Exact Propagators
Consequent application of the instantaneous approximation to both the interaction and all propagators of the bound-state constituents allows us to forge, within the framework of the Bethe–Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states, an instantaneous form of the Bethe–Salpeter equation with exact (i.e., full) propagators of the bound-state constituents. This instantaneous equation gen...

متن کاملInstantaneous Bethe–salpeter Equation: Utmost Analytic Approach
The Bethe–Salpeter formalism in the instantaneous approximation for the interaction kernel entering into the Bethe–Salpeter equation represents a reasonable framework for the description of bound states within relativistic quantum field theory. In contrast to its further simplifications (like, for instance, the so-called reduced Salpeter equation), it allows also the consideration of bound stat...
متن کاملInstantaneous Bethe–Salpeter Equation: Analytic Approach for Nonvanishing Masses of the Bound–State Constituents
The instantaneous Bethe–Salpeter equation, derived from the general Bethe–Salpeter formalism by assuming that the involved interaction kernel is instantaneous, represents the most promising framework for the description of hadrons as bound states of quarks from first quantum-field-theoretic principles, that is, quantum chromodynamics. Here, by extending a previous analysis confined to the case ...
متن کاملFrom the Bethe-Salpeter equation to non-relativistic approaches with effective two-body interactions
It is known that binding energies calculated from the Bethe-Salpeter equation in ladder approximation can be reasonably well accounted for by an energy-dependent interaction, at least for the lowest states. It is also known that none of these approaches gives results close to what is obtained by using the same interaction in the so-called instantaneous approximation, which is often employed in ...
