Light-front time picture of the Bethe-Salpeter equation
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

A three-dimensional reduction of the two-particle Bethe-Salpeter equation is proposed. The proposed reduction is in the framework of light-front dynamics. It yields auxiliary quantities for the transition matrix and the bound state. The arising effective interaction can be perturbatively expanded according to the number of particles exchanged at a given light-front time. An example suggests tha...

Applying the variational method, the spinless reduced Bethe-Salpeter (RBS) equation is solved for the mesonic systems, and the mass spectra are obtained. The method is applied to the Hamiltonian with the Gaussian and hydrogen-type trial wave functions, and different potential models are examined. The results for the different potentials are in challenge in light mesons, while they are consisten...

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...
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...
