Instanton Effects on Gluon Propagator

Gluon propagator is investigated for pure Yang-Mills SU(3) gauge theory in field-strength approach. It is found that instantons provide a homogeneous solid-like medium background which generates finite nonzero momentum gluon propagator and gluon receives effective mass.     

The Effective Gluon Propagator in the Global Color Symmetry Model

It is shown that the effective gluon propagator in the global color symmetry model can be calculated in the instanton dilute liquid approximation. The calculated effective gluon propagator is consistent with the general command on the qualitative features of the gluon propagator, i.e., (i) the gluon propagator is significantly enhanced at small space-like k², and (ii) for k² > 1.5 GeV² the perturbative results are quantitatively reliable.

Endemic infrared divergences in QED3 at finite temperature

We demonstrate that massless QED in three dimensions contains endemic infrared divergences. It is argued that these divergences do not affect observables; furthermore, it is possible to choose a gauge that renders the theory finite.     

Semiclassics around a phase space caustic: An illustration using the Nelson Hamiltonian

The semiclassical formula for the coherent-state propagator is written in terms of complex classical trajectories of an equivalent classical system. Depending on the parameters involved, more than one trajectory may contribute to the calculation. Eventually, however, two contributing trajectories coalesce, characterizing what is called phase space caustic. In this case, the usual semiclassical formula for the propagator diverges, so that a uniform approximation is required to avoid this singularity. In this Letter, we present a non-trivial numerical application illustrating this scenario, showing the accuracy of the uniform formula that we have previously derived.     

Classicalization times of parametrically amplified “Schrödinger cat” states coupled to phase-sensitive reservoirs

The exact Wigner function of a parametrically excited quantum oscillator in a phase-sensitive amplifying/attenuating reservoir is found for initial even/odd coherent states. Studying the evolution of negativity of the Wigner function we show the difference between the “initial positivization time” (IPT), which is inversely proportional to the square of the initial size of the superposition, and the “final positivization time” (FPT), which does not depend on this size. Both these times can be made arbitrarily long in maximally squeezed high-temperature reservoirs. Besides, we find the conditions when some (small) squeezing can exist even after the Wigner function becomes totally positive.     

Electron propagators based on generalised density operators

ABSTRACT

Electron binding energies and Dyson orbitals may be obtained from the poles and residues of the electron propagator. The Dyson quasiparticle equation provides a convenient route to computing this information. Systematic approximations to the latter equation's self-energy, wherein electron correlation and final-state orbital relaxation are described, may be expressed in terms of the elements of the superoperator Hamiltonian matrix. Perturbative methods of electron propagator theory in wide use are based on a reference determinant constructed with canonical, Hartree–Fock orbitals. Generalised matrix elements of the superoperator Hamiltonian that accommodate non-integer occupation numbers associated with general, orthogonal spin orbitals are presented for the first time. Non-Hermitian terms may be systematically eliminated with perturbative corrections to generalised reference density operators. The structure of self-energy approximations that are complete through second, third, fourth or fifth order is presented in terms of superoperator Hamiltonian matrix elements. The present extensions pertain when generalised, zeroth-order density operators expressed in terms of orthonormal spin orbitals are employed.

Dependence of Quark Effective Mass on Gluon Propagators

Based on Dyson Schwinger Equations （DSEs） in the “rainbow” approximation, the dependence of quark effective mass on gluon propagator is investigated by use of three different phenomenological gluon propagators with two parameters, the strength parameter x and range parameter △. Our theoretical calculations for the quark effective mass Mf（p^2）, defined by the self-energy functions Af（p^2） and Bi（p%2） of the DSEs, show that the dynamically running quark effective mass is strongly dependent on gluon propagator. Therefore, because gluon propagator is completely unknown, the quark effective mass cannot be exactly determined theoretically.
