The quark spectral functions and the Hadron Vacuum Polarization from application of DSEs in Minkowski space

Abstract

The hadronic vacuum polarization function ${\Pi }_h$ for two light flavors is computed on the entire domain of spacelike and timelike momenta using a framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations. The analytical continuation of the function ${\Pi }_h$ is based on the utilization of the Gauge Technique with the entry of QCD Green's functions determined from generalized quark spectral functions. For the first time, the light quark spectral functions are extracted from the solution of the gap equation for the quark propagator. The scale is set up by the phenomena of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, which is a striking feature of low energy QCD.

New Appendix was added wherein the new method of extraction of the quark spectral function is explained in details
