In three-dimensional QED, which is analyzed in the 1/$N$ expansion, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for a nontrivial solution of the Dyson-Schwinger equation to be chiral symmetry breaking solution. In the derivation, a…
Recently, a condition is derived for a nontrivial solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equation to be accompanied by a Goldstone bound state in a special quantum electrodynamics model. This result is extended and a new form of the Goldstone…
We explore the possibility of a trivial continuum limit of strongly coupled quenched QED4 by contrasting our results with a Nambu--Jona Lasinio equation of state. The data does not compare favorably with such scenario. We study in detail…
A proof of Goldstone's theorem is given for the case in which global chiral symmetry is dynamically broken. The proof highlights a needed consistency between the exact Schwinger--Dyson equation for the fermion propagator and the exact…
The non-perturbative Schwinger-Dyson equation is used to show that chiral symmetry is dynamically broken in QED at weak gauge couplings when an external uniform magnetic field is present. A complete analysis of this phenomenon may shed…
Using the nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson equation, we show that chiral symmetry in weak-coupling massless QED is dynamically broken by a constant but arbitrarily strong external magnetic field.
In three-dimensional QED with a Chern--Simons term we study the phase structure associated with chiral-symmetry breaking in the framework of the Schwinger--Dyson equation. We give detailed analyses on the analytical and numerical solutions…
Using the nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson equation, we show that chiral symmetry is dynamically broken in QED at weak couplings when an external magnetic field is present, and that chiral symmetry is restored at temperatures above $T_c…
A Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark propagator is derived in the context of a Bethe-Salpeter second order formalism developped in preceding papers and of the Minimal Area Law model for the evaluation of the Wilson loop. We discuss how…
Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDEs) provide a natural staring point to study non-perturbative phenomena such as dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in gauge field theories. We briefly review this research in the context of quenched quantum…
We study the stability of the highest symmetric solution (Wigner-solution) of Dyson-Schwinger equations in chiral limit and at zero temperature. Our results confirm that if the chemical potential is not very large, the QCD vacuum is in the…
We study the effect of QCD-monopole condensation on the dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking by using the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory of QCD. We formulate the Schwinger-Dyson equation and solve it numerically. The large enhancement is found…
Physics is an experimental science; and a constructive feedback between theory and extant and forthcoming experiments is necessary if an understanding of nonperturbative QCD is to be achieved. The Dyson-Schwinger equations connect…
For appropriate parameters, the ground state for the Schroedinger and Ampere coupled equations in a cylindric domain does not have axial symmetry.
We present a new picture of global symmetry breaking in quantum field theory and propose a novel realization of symmetry breaking phenomena in terms of the conserved charge associated with its symmetry. In particular, the fermion condensate…
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…
I report on recent progress in the study of mass generation in non-abelian gauge theories, and concentrate on the origin of constituent masses in QCD. I argue that a consistent formalism has been developed to describe chiral symmetry…
We study chiral symmetry breaking in quenched strong-coupling QED$_4$ in arbitrary covariant gauge within the Dyson-Schwinger equation formalism. A recently developed numerical renormalization program is fully implemented. Results are…
In the limit of vanishing up, down and strange quark masses, QCD exhibits a chiral symmetry. This symmetry is broken spontaneously to its vector subgroup, giving rise to Goldstone bosons. These acquire a small mass through the explicit…
Dyson-Schwinger equations furnish a Poincare' covariant framework within which to study hadrons. A particular feature is the existence of a nonperturbative, symmetry preserving truncation that enables the proof of exact results. The gap…
