چکیده

We study the impact on chiral symmetry breaking of a recently developed model for the QCD analytic invariant charge. This charge contains no adjustable parameters, other than the QCD mass scale Λ, and embodies asymptotic freedom and infrared enhancement into a single expression. Its incorporation into the standard form of the quark gap equation gives rise to solutions for the dynamically generated mass that display a singular confining behaviour at the origin. Using the Pagels–Stokar method we relate the obtained solutions to the pion decay constant fπ, and estimate the scale parameter Λ, in the presence of four active quarks, to be about 880MeV. PACS numbers: 12.38.Lg, 12.38.Aw, 11.55.Fv

Infrared and Ultraviolet Coupling in Qcd

The coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the gluon and ghost propagators in QCD are shown to have solutions that correspond to a unique running coupling that has a nite infrared xed point and the expected logarithmic decrease in the ultraviolet. The infrared coupling is large enough to support chiral symmetry breaking; and quarks are not connned, but they cannot be isolated.

Analytic structure of the quark propagator in a model with an infrared vanishing gluon propagator.

The Dyson-Schwinger equation for the quark self energy is solved in rainbow approximation using an infrared (IR) vanishing gluon propagator that introduces an IR mass scale b. There exists a b dependent critical coupling indicating the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry. If one chooses realistic QCD coupling constants the strength and the scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking deco...

Confinement and Green functions in Landau-gauge QCD

In a functional approach to QCD the infrared behaviour of Landau gauge Green functions is investigated. Positivity violation for, and thus confinement of, gluons is demonstrated, and the analytic structure of the gluon propagator is studied. Quark confinement is related to an infrared divergence of the quark-gluon vertex. In the latter various components are dynamically induced due to the spont...

We summarize recent results on the nonperturbative quark-gluon interaction in Landau gauge QCD. Our analytical analysis of the infrared behaviour of the quark-gluon vertex reveals infrared singularities, which lead to an infrared divergent running coupling and a linear rising quark-antiquark potential when chiral symmetry is broken. In the chirally symmetric case we find an infrared fixed point...

QCD thermodynamics with colour-sextet quarks

We study QCD with two flavours of colour-sextet quarks as a candidate walking-Technicolor theory. We simulate lattice QCD with two flavours of colour-sextet staggered quarks at finite temperatures to observe the scales of confinement and chiral-symmetry breaking. These should give us some indication as to whether the massless theory has an infrared fixed point making it a conformal field theory...
