Facts and Challenges • Color degrees of freedom (quarks and gluons) are not • observable (confinement). • Dynamical mass generation for massless quarks; • (dynamical chiral symmetry breaking). • Both these phenomena are emergent and owe themselves • to large coupling strength in the infrared. • How do we study physics beyond perturbation theory? • Studying QCD: lattice, Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe- • Salpeter equations, chiral perturbation theory, • effective quark models.
Schwinger-Dyson Equations • Through SDEs, we can study the structure of hadrons • through first principles in the continuum. • SDE for QCD have been extensively applied to the study • of quark and gluon propagators, their interactions, meson • spectra and interactions below the masses ~ 1 GeV. • They have been employed to study: • The gluon propagator • The quark propagator A.C.

Pions & Chiral Symmetry Breaking
Pions and Chiral Symmetry Breaking In October 1934, Hideki Yukawa predicted the existence of a “heavy quantum”, meson, exchanging nuclear force between neutrons and protons. 1949 1950 1969 2008 It was discovered by Cecil Powel in 1949 in cosmic ray tracks in a photographic emulsion. Pion was nicely accommodated in The Eight Fold way of Murray Gell –Mann in 1961. YoichiroNambu associated it with CSB in 1960.
Chiral Symmetry and Its Breaking The connection of the smallness of pions with chiral symmetry breaking is reflected in the long known following relations: GellMann-Oakes- Renner relation Gell-Mann-Okubo mass formulae ~500 MeV Parity Partners & Chiral Symmetry Breaking ~500 MeV

Schwinger-Dyson Equations: From Infrared to Ultraviolet
Schwinger-Dyson Equtions Schwinger-Dyson equations are the fundamental equations of QCD and combine its UV and IR behaviour. Observing the transition of the pion (form factors, such as ) from quarks and gluons to one with valence quarks alone can be studied naturally through SDE.
The Quark Propagator • The quark propagator:
The Quark Propagator This solution violates the axiom of reflection positivity and the corresponding excitation is confined. Thus chiral symmetry breaking and confinement are intimately connected to each other.
The Quark-Photon Vertex For current conservation and Ward identities, a proper quark-photon vertex is essential. “Truncating the Schwinger-Dyson equations: How multiplicative renormalizability and the Ward identity restrict the three point vertex in QED” D.C.

Valence Quark Parton Distribution Amplitude Pion’s PDA – (x,Q2): is a probability amplitude that describes the momentum distribution of a quark and anti-quark in the bound-state’s valence Fock state. x is the light-cone momentum fraction: Among other processes, it enters the calculation of both the pion electromagnetic and transition form factors. (x, Q2): is an essentially non-perturbative quantity whose asymptotic form is known. What we can know is the evolution of this function with the momentum scale Q2. ERBL evolution equations.
