The Coulomb gauge in QCD is the only explicitly unitary gauge. But it suffers from energy-divergences which means that it is not rigorously well-defined. One way to define it unambiguously is as the limit of a gauge interpolating between…

The matching between Schrodinger Functional renormalization schemes and conventional perturbative schemes is usually done using an intermediate lattice scheme. We propose to do the matching directly. This requires the perturbative…

We derive a gauge-invariant low-energy effective model of the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. We find that the effective gluon propagator belongs to the Gribov-Stingl type, irrespective of the gauge choice. In the maximally Abelian gauge,…
We propose the gauged Thirring model as a natural gauge-invariant generalization of the Thirring model, four-fermion interaction of current-current type. In the strong gauge-coupling limit, the gauged Thirring model reduces to the recently…
We study the properties of quarks, being confined in hadrons, with the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the dual Ginzburg-Landau Theory. Magnetic monopole condensation, which provides quark confinement, is demonstrated responsible also for…

The quark mass function is computed both by solving the quark propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation and from lattice simulations implementing overlap and Domain-Wall fermion actions for valence and sea quarks, respectively. The results are…
We study renormalized quenched strong-coupling QED in four dimensions in arbitrary covariant gauge, in the Dyson-Schwinger equation formalism. Above the chiral critical coupling, we show that there is no finite chiral limit. This behaviour…
The running quark masses at various energy scales are evaluated by using the mass renormalization equations systematically. Also, those at energy scales higher than m_Z are evaluated by using the evolution equations of Yukawa coupling…
Yang-Mills theories are an important building block of the standard model and in particular of quantum chromodynamics. Its correlation functions describe the behavior of its elementary particles, the gauge bosons. In quantum chromodynamics,…
