A formally exact Bethe-Salpeter-like equation for the linear-response function is introduced with a kernel which depends only on the one frequency of the applied field. This is in contrast with the standard Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE)…
Confinement is a ubiquitous mechanism in nature, whereby particles feel an attractive force that increases without bound as they separate. A prominent example is color confinement in particle physics, in which baryons and mesons are…
