Relativistic properties of the quark-antiquark potential

The relativistic transformation properties of the heavy quark-antiquark interaction potential are considered in the framework of the relativistic quark model. A special attention is paid to the long-range (confining) contribution to the spin-independent part of interaction. The retardation effects are consistently taken into account.

Summing up the perturbation series in the Schwinger Model

Perturbation series for the electron propagator in the Schwinger Model is summed up in a direct way by adding contributions coming from individual Feynman diagrams. The calculation, performed entirely in momentum space, shows the complete agreement between nonperturbative and perturbative approaches.
