Chiral condensate and $\eta^\prime$ meson mass spectrum are studied under the influence of an external Abelian magnetic field. We work within the D3/D7 Karch--Katz model of flavoured AdS/CFT with supersymmetry broken by the Constable--Myers…
Using the previously derived confining gluon propagator, the corresponding system of equations determining the quark propagator is derived. The system of equations consists of the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark propagator itself,…
The dependence of pseudo-scalar masses and decay constants on the sea and valence quark masses is investigated in the pseudo-Goldstone boson sector of QCD with two light quark flavours. The sea quark masses are at present in the range…
The Dual Meissner Effect description of QCD in the confining region provides $\frac{1}{q^4}$ behaviour for the gluon propagator and involves the dual gluon mass $m$ as a parameter. This is used in the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quarks…
In this feature article we summarise and highlight aspects of the treatment of four-quark states with functional methods. Model approaches to those exotic mesons almost inevitably have to assume certain internal structures, e.g. by grouping…
The vast bulk of visible mass emerges from nonperturbative dynamics within quantum chromodynamics (QCD) -- the strong interaction sector of the Standard Model. The past decade has revealed the three pillars that support this emergent hadron…
This talks contains a short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory and the existing calculations to two-loop order in the mesonic sector. I include a discussion on which quantities the expansion can be organized in. The present best…

We study the Schwinger-Dyson equation associated with a chirality- changing fermion 4-point function in a strongly-coupled $U(1)$ gauge theory. After making appropriate simplifications, we solve the equation numerically via a relaxation…

In this paper the dynamics of the classical chiral $QCD_{2}$ currents is studied. We describe how the dynamics of the theory can be summarized in an equation of the Lax form, thereby demonstrating the existence of an infinite set of…
The theory of the magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking in QED is developed. An approximation for the Schwinger-Dyson equations describing reliably this phenomenon is established, i.e., it is shown that there exists a consistent…
An often used mass formula for Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons in QCD, such as the pions, involves the condensate $<\overline{q}q>$, $f_{\pi}$ and the quark current masses. We argue, within the context of the Global Colour Model to QCD, that…
It is shown that quark mass dependence induced by one loop corrections to the Breit-Fermi spin-dependent one gluon exchange potential permit an accurate determination of heavy-light meson masses. Thus the $D_s(2317)$ is a canonical $c\bar…
We develop a quark-diquark effective mass formalism for heavy-flavor baryon spectroscopy and apply it to the $J^P = \tfrac{1}{2}^+$ and $J^P = \tfrac{3}{2}^+$ spectra across the singly, doubly, and triply heavy sectors. The analysis is…
Although nonperturbative functional methods are often associated with low energy Quantum Chromodynamics, contemporary studies indicate that they provide reliable tools to characterize a much wider spectrum of strongly interacting many-body…
The generation of a momentum-dependent gluon mass proceeds through a sophisticated implementation, at the level of the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the gluon propagator, of the Schwinger mechanism, whose central dynamical ingredient is the…
We investigate in some detail a "variational mass" expansion approach, generalized from a similar construction developed in the Gross-Neveu model, to evaluate the basic order parameters of the dynamical breaking of the $SU(2)_L \times…
The dependence of the dressed quark propagator on the quark chemical potential is investigated in various models based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations. We find that the critical chemical potential of the chiral symmetry restoration…
