Abstract
In this paper we study dynamical chiral symmetry breaking of a generic quantum field theoretical model with global chiral flavor symmetry. By purely algebraic means we analyze the vacuum structure for different symmetry breaking schemes and show explicitly how the ensuing non-trivial flavor vacuum condensate characterizes the phenomenon of field mixing. In addition, with the help of Ward-Takahashi identities we demonstrate the emergence of a correct number of Nambu-Goldstone modes in the physical spectrum.
