Real poles with opposite-sign residues in the non-perturbative quark propagator
R. Alkofer, M. N. Ferreira, A. S. Miramontes +2
We investigate the analytic structure of the quark propagator in the Landau gauge by dynamically coupling the standard gap equation to the non-perturbative quark-gluon vertex. Empl…
Quark-gluon vertex in the complex plane
M. N. Ferreira, A. S. Miramontes, J. M. Morgado +1
In the present work we explore for the first time the general structure and properties of the nonperturbative quark-gluon vertex in the complex plane. Specifically, we focus on the…
Light mesons in the symmetric-vertex approximation
M. N. Ferreira, A. S. Miramontes, J. M. Morgado +1
We compute the spectrum of light mesons, composed by up, down, and strange quarks, using a symmetry-preserving approximation that permits the inclusion of fully-dressed quark-gluon…
Pions reloaded
M. N. Ferreira, A. S. Miramontes, J. M. Morgado +2
We present a novel version of the pion Bethe-Salpeter equation in the chiral limit, solved using as ingredients state-of-the-art QCD correlation functions. The constraints imposed…
Baryonic form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons
A. S. Miramontes, J. M. Morgado, J. Papavassiliou
Employing the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, we present a computation of the space-like baryonic form factor for the pion and kaon. In the exact isospin-symmetric limit this observable…
