    Dispersion relation of the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation through a variational method

    Full text link
    We derive approximate expressions for the dispersion relation of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in the case of strong nonlinearities using a method based on the Linear Delta Expansion. All the results obtained in this article are fully analytical, never involve the use of special functions, and can be used to obtain systematic approximations to the exact results to any desired degree of accuracy. We compare our findings with similar results in the literature and show that our approach leads to better and simpler results.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, matches published versio

    Effect of the Quark-Gluon Vertex on Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking

    Full text link
    In this work we investigate how the details of the quark-gluon interaction vertex affect the quantitative description of chiral symmetry breaking and dynamical mass generation through the gap equation. We employ the Maris-Tandy (MT) and Qin-Chang (QC) models for the gluon propagator and the effective strong running coupling. The gap equation is solved by employing several vertex Ansa¨{\rm \ddot{a}}tze which have been constructed in order to implement some of the key aspects of a gauge field theory such as gauge invariance and multiplicative renormalizability. We find that within a small variation of MT and QC model parameters, all truncations point towards the same quantitative pattern of chiral symmetry breaking, the running quark mass function, ensuring the robustness of this approach.Comment: 12 page
