Fermion condensation in the field strength approach to non-abelian yang-mills theories

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

Within the field strength approach to Yang-Mills theories the fermionic sectors of gauge theories are bosonized for the SU(2) and SU(3) gauge group. The emerging effective meson theories are studied in the tree approximation. In this approximation the original minimal gauge coupling of the quarks to gluons is rendered into an effective local four-fermion interaction with non-trivial Lorentz and gauge structure. The Schwinger-Dyson equation is solved in the strong coupling limit and the quark condensates and constituent masses are evaluated.
