On The Ladder Bethe-Salpeter Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation in the ladder approximation is studied within a scalar theory: two scalar fields (constituents) with mass m interacting via an exchange of a scalar field (tieon) with mass μ. The BS equation is written in the form of an integral equation in the configuration Euclidean x-space with the kernel which for stable bound states M < 2m is a self-adjoint positive operator. The solution of the BS equation is formulated as a variational problem. The nonrelativistic limit of the BS equation is considered. The role of so-called abnormal states is discussed. The analytical form of test functions for which the accuracy of calculations of bound state masses is better than 1% (the comparison with available numerical calculations is done) is determined. These test functions make it possible to calculate analytically vertex functions describing the interaction of bound states with constituents. As a by-product a simple solution of the Wick-Cutkosky model for the case of massless bound states is demonstrated.

Light-front time picture of the Bethe-Salpeter equation
We show the light-front representation of the field theoretical Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) in the ladder approximation using the quasi potential reduction. We discuss the equivalence of the covariant ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation with an infinite set of coupled equations for the Green’s functions of the different light-front Fock-states.
متن کاملCross-ladder effects in Bethe-Salpeter and Light-Front equations
Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation in Minkowski space for scalar particles is solved for a kernel given by a sum of ladder and cross-ladder exchanges. The solution of corresponding Light-Front (LF) equation, where we add the time-ordered stretched boxes, is also obtained. Cross-ladder contributions are found to be very large and attractive, whereas the influence of stretched boxes is negligible. Both...
متن کاملGoldstone Theorem and Diquark Confinement Beyond Rainbow-Ladder Approximation
The quark Dyson-Schwinger equation and meson Bethe-Salpeter equation are studied in a truncation scheme that extends the rainbow-ladder approximation such that, in the chiral limit, the isovector, pseudoscalar meson remains massless. Quarkquark (diquark) correlations, which are bound in rainbow-ladder approximation, are destabilised by repulsive contributions that only appear at higher order in...

By method developed in [1] we solve the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation for the kernel given by sum of ladder and cross-ladder exchanges. We solve also corresponding equation in light-front dynamics (LFD), where we add the time-ordered stretched boxes. Cross-ladder contribution is large and attractive, whereas the influence of stretched boxes is negligible. Both approaches – BS and LFD – give very...

We developed the formal connection of the field theoretical Bethe-Salpeter equation including the ladder approximation with its representation on the light-front for a bosonic model. We use the light-front Green's function for the N-particle system for two-particles plus N-2 intermediate bosons. We derived an infinite set of coupled hierarchy equations or iterated resolvent from which the Green...
