The problem of calculating of the mass spectrum of the two-body Bethe-Salpeter equation is studied with no reduction to the three-dimensional ("quasipotential") equation. The method to find the ground state and excited states for a channel…

Describing the lightest pseudoscalar mesons as bound states of quark and antiquark within the framework of an instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter formalism constructed such as to retain (in contrast to Salpeter's equation) as much information on…
Salpeter equations with potential functions rising to infinity in configuration space do not automatically predict stable bound states. For this to happen, also the Lorentz behaviour of the involved Bethe-Salpeter kernels is crucial. At…
