QCD-like theories provide testing grounds for truncations of functional equations at non-zero density, since comparisons with lattice results are possible due to the absence of the sign problem. As a first step towards such a comparison, we…
Assuming a Gaussian approximation for the QCD gluodynamics, all the nonperturbative physics can be encoded into two parameters: the gluon correlation length $T_g$ and the gluon condensate $G_2$. These parameters are sufficient in order to…
It is essential to know the space-time structure of the nonlocal vacuum condensates for application to medium energy processes. Using the Dyson-Schwinger formalism in the rainbow approximation for the quark propagator, we study the nonlocal…
The quark mass function $\Sigma(p)$ in QCD is revisited, using a gluon propagator in the form $1/(k^2 + m_g^2)$ plus $2\mu^2/ (k^2 + m_g^2)^2$, where the second (IR) term gives linear confinement for $m_g = 0$ in the instantaneous limit,…
