Truncated Schwinger-Dyson equations and gauge covariance in QED3
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformations (LKFT) in momentum space for the dynamically generated mass function in QED3. Starting from the Landau gauge results in the rainbow approximation, we construct solutions in other covariant gauges. We confirm that the chiral condensate is gauge invariant as the structure of the LKFT predicts. We also check that the gauge dependence of the constituent fermion mass is considerably reduced as compared to the one obtained directly by solving SDE.

Gauge Covariance and the Chiral Condenate in QED3
The ambiguities associated with the lack of gauge invariance in the non-perturbative truncations of Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDEs) are a challenging problem which has not yet been resolved in a decisive fashion. Pursuing this aim, we study dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in quantum electrodynamics in three space-time dimensions (QED3). We investigate the gauge dependence of the chiral cond...
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...
متن کاملGauge independence and chiral symmetry breaking in a strong magnetic field
The gauge independence of the dynamical fermion mass generated through chiral symmetry breaking in QED in a strong, constant external magnetic field is critically examined. We present a (first, to the best of our knowledge) consistent truncation of the Schwinger-Dyson equations in the lowest Landau level approximation. We demonstrate that the dynamical fermion mass, obtained as the solution of ...
متن کاملGauge independent approach to chiral symmetry breaking in a strong magnetic field
The gauge independence of the dynamical fermion mass generated through chiral symmetry breaking in QED in a strong, constant external magnetic field is critically examined. We show that the bare vertex approximation, in which the vertex corrections are ignored, is a consistent truncation of the Schwinger-Dyson equations in the lowest Landau level approximation. The dynamical fermion mass, obtai...
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...
