Solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation for a scalar propagator in Minkowski space
نویسنده
چکیده
The Schwinger-Dyson equation for a scalar propagator is solved in Minkowski space with the help of an integral spectral representation, both for spacelike and timelike momenta. The equation is re-written into a form suitable for numerical solution by iterations. This procedure is described for a simple unphysical Lagrangian with a cubic interaction, with future extensions to more realistic theories in mind.

Dyson-schwinger Equations and Their Application to Nonperturbative Field Theory
Two examples of recent progress in applications of the Dyson–Schwinger equation (DSE) formalism are presented: (1) Strong coupling quantum electrodynamics in 4 dimensions (QED4) is an often studied model, which is of interest both in its own right and as an abelian model of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We present results from a study of subtractive renormalization of the fermion propagator Dys...
متن کاملImplications of Analyticity to Solution of Schwinger-Dyson Equations in Minkowski Space
We review some recent developments in nonperturbative studies of quantum field theory (QFT) using the Schwinger-Dyson equations formulated directly in Minkowski space. We begin with the introduction of essential ideas of the integral representation in QFT and a discussion of renormalization in this approach. The technique based on the integral representation of Green’s functions is exploited to...

In this article, we propose a new approach to calculate the Nambu-Gorkov propagator intuitively with some linear algebra techniques in presence of the scalar diquark condensates. With the help of energy projective operators, we can obtain relatively simple expressions for the quark propagators, which greatly facilitate the calculations in solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation to obtain the gap p...

Based on the path integral formalism, we rederive and extend the transverse Ward-Takahashi identities (which were first derived by Yasushi Takahashi) for the vector and the axial vector currents and simultaneously discuss the possible anomaly for them. Subsequently, we propose a new scheme for writing down and solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation in which the the transverse Ward-Takahashi ident...
متن کاملSolving a Coupled Set of Truncated QCD Dyson–Schwinger Equations
Truncated Dyson–Schwinger equations represent finite subsets of the equations of motion for Green’s functions. Solutions to these non–linear integral equations can account for non–perturbative correlations. A closed set of coupled Dyson–Schwinger equations for the propagators of gluons and ghosts in Landau gauge QCD is obtained by neglecting all contributions from irreducible 4–point correlatio...
