Derivation of a Closed Expression of the B-S Interaction Kernel for Quark-Antiquark Bound States

The interaction kernel in the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equation for quark-antiquark bound states is derived from B-S equations satisfied by the quark-antiquark four-point Green's function. The latter equations are established based on the equations of motion obeyed by the quark and antiquark propagators, the four-point Green's function and some other kinds of Green's functions, which follow directly from the QCD generating functional. The derived B-S kernel is given by a closed and explicit expression which contains only a few types of Green's functions. This expression is not only convenient for perturbative calculations, but also applicable for nonperturbative investigations. Since the kernel contains all the interactions taking place in the quark-antiquark bound states, it actually appears to be the most suitable starting point of studying the QCD nonperturbative effect and quark confinement.

From QCD to Quark Potential Model

The connection between phenomenological parameters in the quark potential model and fundamental QCD parameters is established by studying the fermionic three-point Green's functions in QCD incorporating the effects of nonperturbative vacuum. The scale of chiralsymmetry-breaking leading to the constituent quark picture is estimated.     

Effective field theories for the heavy quarkonium

We briefly review how nonrelativistic effective field theories give us a definition of the QCD potentials and a coherent field-theory-derived quantum-mechanical scheme to calculate the properties of bound states made by two or more heavy quarks. In this framework heavy quarkonium properties depend only on the QCD parameters (quark masses and α _s ) and nonpotential corrections are systematically accounted for. The relation between the form of the nonperturbative potentials and the low-energy QCD dynamics is also discussed.     

Intermediate Range Force Contributions to Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD

We propoee the intermediate range QCD force singular like δ(q) by analysing the gluon propagator in the nonperturbative region from QCD sum rules. With the help of the Slavnov- Taylor-Ward identity we derive the equations for the nonperturbative quark propagator from the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation. Solutione for the quark propagator in two special cases are given. We find that the intermediate range force L also responsible for the chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.

The Q2 evolution of flavour singlet wave functions in QCD

We calculate the Q² evolution of the quark-antiquark and gluon-gluon components of helicity-zero, flavour and colour singlet wave functions by summing diagrams to all orders in axial gauge QCD perturbation theory in the leading logarithm approximation. We find that Gegenbauer moments of these components have exactly the same scale-breaking behaviour as moments of singlet quark and gluon distribution functions in leptoproduction. The resulting singlet wave function is used to calculate the amplitudes for quark-antiquark and gluon-gluon jet production in off-shell photon-photon collisions.     

Variation on finite energy sum rules: Vacuum matrix elements

New finite energy sum rules for light quark systems are derived in QCD, which express nonperturbative vacuum matrix elements of a given dimension in terms of the spectral function and its derivatives. A phenomelogical definition of nonperturbative effects is proposed.     

SU(3) Local Gauge Field Theory as Effective Dynamics of Composite Gluons

The effective dynamics of quarks is described by a nonperturbatively regularized NJL model equation with canonical quantization and probability interpretation. The quantum theory of this model is formulated in functional space and the gluons are considered as relativistic bound states of colored quark-antiquark pairs. Their wave functions are calculated as eigenstates of hardcore equations, and their effective dynamics is derived by weak mapping in functional space. This leads to the phenomenological SU(3) gauge invariant gluon equations in functional formulation, i.e., the local gauge symmetry is a dynamical effect resulting from the dynamics of the quark model.     

Nonperturbative condensate contributions to the effective quark-gluon coupling

We study the effective quark-gluon coupling at low-energy scale, which is defined as the amplitude of a quark emitting or absorbing a gluon with some momentum at low-energy scale. This amplitude is determined from the fermionic three-point Green’s functions of QCD including the leading order contributions of nonperturbative condensates through use of the operator-product expansion. By this approach, we discuss the relationship between the constituent quark and the quark of QCD Lagrangian, and estimate the scale of chiral symmetry breaking and the size of a constituent quark in participating the strong interaction process, such as form factors and radii.     

Nonperturbative approach to chiral phase transition in chromodynamics

A nonperturbative approach aimed at the localization of the QCD chiral phase transition atT, π≠0 is presented. We identify this transition with the dynamical quark mass peculiarity which results from the selfconsistent solution of the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark propagator. The specific model of the effective quark-gluon interaction, based both on the peculier interpolation for the running coupling constant and on the nonperturbative gluon magnetic and electric masses is exploited. The numerical estimates of the phase diagram are presented and it is shown that phase peculiarities are determined not only by the ultraviolet properties of QCD but also by its infrared structure. The obtained results are discussed, compared with other approaches and a possible interpretation is given.     

Nonperturbative corrections of quark and gluon condensates to QCD inspired quark potentials

We adopt the Lorentz gauge to derive the non-local two-gluon vacuum expectation value (VEV) with translational invariance. By means of the obtained non-local two-gluon VEV, the leading nonperturbative QCD corrections to one gluon exchange quark-quark, quark-antiquark and pair-excitation potentials are given by employing non-vanishing vacuum condensates of quarks and gluons to modify the free gluon propagator. The linear, cubic and Yukawa-type terms in quark-quark potential appear automatically. In the pair-excitation potential with , the linear, square and cubic terms arise from the nonzero quark and gluon condensates.

The Feynman-Schwinger Representation in QCD

The proper time path integral representation is derived explicitly for Green's functions in QCD. After an introductory analysis of perturbative properties, the total gluonic field is separated in a rigorous way into a nonperturbative background and valence gluon part. For nonperturbative contributions the background perturbation theory is used systematically, yielding two types of expansions, illustrated by direct physical applications. As an application, we discuss the collinear singularities in the Feynman-Schwinger representation formalism. Moreover, the generalization to nonzero temperature is made and expressions for partition functions in perturbation theory and nonperturbative background are explicitly written down.     

Nonperturbative dynamics in the color-magnetic QCD vacuum

In the deconfinement phase of QCD, quarks and gluons interact with the dense stochastic color-magnetic vacuum. We consider the dynamics of quarks in this deconfinement phase using the field correlators method and derive an effective nonperturbative interquark potential, in addition to the usual perturbative short-range interaction. We find the resulting angular-momentum-dependent interaction to be attractive enough to maintain bound states and, for light quarks (and gluons), to cause emission of quark and gluon pairs. Possible consequences for the strong-interacting quark-gluon plasma are briefly discussed. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Baryon sum rules and chiral symmetry breaking

In an SVZ-type approach sum rules for baryonic currents have been investigated, without radiative QCD corrections but with the inclusion of non-perturbative terms due to the non-vanishing vacuum expectation value of the quark-antiquark condensate. We give upper bounds for baryon masses, which allow a choice of optimal interpolating operators for low-lying baryon states. The results show that the mentioned vacuum expectation value not only sets the scale for parity splitting but also for the masses of the baryons directly. The alternative way of explicit symmetry breaking by quark masses has also been investigated in the same technical framework.     

Relativistic scattering theory of two bound quark-antiquark systems in the low- and intermediate-energy region

Relativistic three-dimensional equations for meson-meson scattering amplitudes are constructed considering the mesons as bound quark-antiquark systems. The resulting equations have a form identical with the field-theoretical Low equations for the meson-meson scattering amplitude without quark degrees of freedom. Therefore the solution of these equations and their linearized representations satisfy the unitarity condition and the low-energy theorems. In order to build the effective potential of the proposed equations one uses meson-quark-antiquark bound-state wave functions and transition matrices. Also these quark-antiquark bound-state wave functions satisfy the relativistic three-dimensional integral equation, which contains all retardation effects.Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under contract no.

Calculation of the Mass of X（3872） by the Mandelstam Generalization of the Gell-Mann-Low Method

On the basis of assuming that the narrow state X（3872） is a molecule state consisting of D0 and D＊0, we apply the Mandelstam generalization of the Ge11-Mann-Low method to calculate the matrix element of quark current between the heavy meson states described by Bether-Salpeter wave function. In calculation of the matrix element of quark current the operator product expansion is used in order to include the nonperturbative contribution of the vacuum condensates. In this scheme we calculate the mass of X（3872）. We believe that this scheme is closer to QCD than the previous work.     

Spinor strong interaction model for meson spectra

A model for a bound quark-antiquark system is constructed from quark spinor equations and the associated pseudoscalar massless interaction potential equations in a way departing from conventional relativistic quantum mechanics. From the so-constructed covariant meson equations, linear confinement arises naturally. Nonlinear radial equations for the pseudoscalar and vector mesons in the rest frame are derived without approximation. An internal complex space is introduced for representation of the quark flavors. Quark masses are generalized to operators operating on functions in this space. A simple model is proposed for the meson internal functions and mass operators producing the squares of the average quark masses as eigenvalues. The present space-time model calls for a particle classification scheme different from the usual nonrelativistic one. When combined with the internal model, it may account for the gross structure of the meson spectra together with the form of an empirical relation. Upper limits of bare quark masses are estimated from simplified analytical solutions of the radial equations and agree approximately with the bare quark masses obtained from baryon data in a companion paper. The radial equations are solved numerically yielding estimates of the strong interaction radii of the ground state mesons.
