The Salpeter equation, a standard tool in hadron physics, constitutes a well-defined three-dimensional approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states within quantum field theories. However, if confinement…
The most popular 3-dimensional reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states within quantum field theory is the Salpeter equation, found as the instantaneous limit of the Bethe-Salpeter framework if allowing,…
In the framework of instantaneous approximations to the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states within quantum field theories, depending on the Lorentz structure of the Bethe-Salpeter interaction kernel the solutions of…
Several numerical investigations of the Salpeter equation with static confining interactions of Lorentz-scalar type revealed that its solutions are plagued by instabilities of presumably Klein-paradox nature. By proving rigorously that the…
A popular three-dimensional reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the description of bound states in quantum field theory is the Salpeter equation, derived by assuming both instantaneous interactions and free propagation of all…
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…
For two bound-state equations derived as simplified forms of the Bethe-Salpeter equation with confining interaction, stability of all solutions is rigorously shown.
Focusing on the continuum meson bound-state problem, a novel method is used to calculate closed-form Bethe-Salpeter kernels that are symmetry consistent with any reasonable gluon-quark vertex, $\Gamma_\nu$, and therewith deliver a…
The Bethe-Salpeter approach allows for quantum-field-theoretic descriptions of relativistic bound states; its inherent complexity, however, usually prevents to find its exact solutions. Under suitable simplifying assumptions about the…
We present a systematic algebraic and numerical investigation of the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation. Emphasis is placed on confining interaction kernels of the Lorentz scalar, time component vector, and full vector types. We explore…
The Bethe-Salpeter formalism in the instantaneous approximation for the interaction kernel entering into the Bethe-Salpeter equation represents a reasonable framework for the description of bound states within relativistic quantum field…
We investigate the light and heavy meson spectra in the context of the instantaneous approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter equation (Salpeter's equation). We use a static kernel consisting of a one-gluon-exchange component and a confining…
Within the formalism of relativistic quantum field theory an adequate framework for the description of two-particle bound states, such as, for instance, all conventional (i.e., non-exotic) mesons, is provided by the Poincar\'e-covariant…
We investigate the Lorentz structure of the confinement potential through a study of the meson spectrum using Salpeter's instantaneous approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The equivalence between Salpeter's and a…
The Poincar\'e-covariant quantum-field-theoretic description of bound states by the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation usually exhibits an intrinsic complexity that can be attenuated by allowing this formalism to undergo various…
The difficulties that typically prevent numerical solutions from being obtained to finite-energy, two-body, bound-state Bethe-Salpeter equations can often be overcome by expanding solutions in terms of basis functions that obey the boundary…
The Bethe-Salpeter equation provides the most widely used technique to extract bound states and resonances in a relativistic Quantum Field Theory. Nevertheless a thorough discussion how to identify its solutions with physical states is…
The instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation, derived from the general Bethe-Salpeter formalism by assuming that the involved interaction kernel is instantaneous, represents the most promising framework for the description of hadrons as bound…
A novel method for constructing a Bethe-Salpeter kernel for the meson bound-state problem is described. It produces a closed-form kernel that is symmetry-consistent (discrete and continuous) with the gap equation defined by any admissible…
In quantum theory, bound states are described by eigenvalue equations, which usually cannot be solved exactly. However, some simple general theorems allow to derive rigorous statements about the corresponding solutions, that is, energy…
