Continuum Strong QCD: Confinement and Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
Continuum strong QCD is the application of models and continuum quantum field theory to the study of phenomena in hadronic physics, which includes; e.g., the spectrum of QCD bound states and their interactions. Herein I provide a Dyson-Schwinger equation perspective, focusing on qualitative aspects of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in cold, sparse QCD, and also elucidating consequences of the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity and features of the heavy-quark limit.

Ja n 19 94 Color Confinement , Quark Pair Creation and Dynamical Chiral - Symmetry Breaking in the Dual Ginzburg - Landau Theory
We study the color confinement, the q-¯ q pair creation and the dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking of nonperturbative QCD by using the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory, where QCD-monopole condensation plays an essential role on the nonper-turbative dynamics in the infrared region. As a result of the dual Meissner effect, the linear static quark potential, which characterizes the quark confinement, i...
متن کاملConfinement and Chiral Symmetry, a Lattice QCD test of AdS/QCD
We use lattice QCD simulations to test some of the predictions of proposed AdS/QCD (holographic) duals for QCD. In particular, these duals predict that the scale of chiral symmetry breaking (χSB) can be varied independently from that of confinement, with the proviso that the scale of χSB cannot be longer than that of confinement. We simulate lattice QCD with 2 quarks in the fundamental represen...

In this talk I present recent results on Lorentz covariant correlation functions 〈q(p1)q(p2)〉 on the cone p 2 = 0. In particular, chiral symmetry breaking terms are constructed which resemble fermionic 2–point functions of 2–D CFT up to a scalar factor. Talk presented at the International Workshop on Particle Theory and Phenomenology, Ames (Iowa), May 1995. 1. Confinement and chiral symmetry br...
متن کاملA dynamical mechanism for quark confinement
Recently there has been progress in the understanding of the confinement mechanism in Landau gauge QCD. The emerging dynamical description in terms of the underlying gauge dependent degrees of freedom goes beyond the static confinement in the quenched limit and has the potential to describe the scale-dependent phenomenon seen in nature, where new hadrons are produced when the system is sufficie...

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is described within the linear sigma model of QCD coupled to quarks. The main technical tool used for this intrinsically non– perturbative problem is an exact renormalization group equation for the quantum effective action. It is demonstrated that realistic values for phenomenological quantities like the pion decay constant, constituent quark masses or the chi...
