We consider the quantum mechanical propagator for a particle moving in a $d$-dimensional Lorentz gas, with fixed, hard sphere scatterers. To evaluate this propagator in the semi-classical region, and for times less than the Ehrenfest time,…
We study the electron propagator in quantum electrodynamics in lower dimensions. In the case of free electrons, it is well known that the propagator in momentum space takes the simple form $S_F(p)=1/(\gamma\cdot p-m)$. In the presence of…

We show that the gauge invariant treatment of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of QCD leads to an infrared finite gluon propagator, signaling the dynamical generation of an effective gluon mass, and a non-enhanced ghost propagator, in…
