Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Landau gauge QCD

Abstract

We summarise results for the propagators of Landau gauge QCD from the Green's functions approach and lattice calculations. The nonperturbative solutions for the ghost, gluon and quark propagators from a coupled set of Dyson-Schwinger equations agree almost quantitatively with corresponding lattice results. Similar unquenching effects are found in both approaches. The dynamically generated quark masses are close to `phenomenological' values. The chiral condensate is found to be large.
