abstract

We study the full infrared dynamics of 2+1 flavour QCD with the functional renormalisation group approach. We resolve self-consistently the glue dynamics as well as the dynamics of chiral symmetry breaking. The computation hosts no phenomenological parameter or external input. The only ultraviolet input parameters are the physical ones in QCD: the light and strange quark masses. They are adjusted to the physical ratios of the pion and kaon masses, divided by the pion decay constant. The results for other observables of current first-principles computations are in quantitative agreement with the physical ones. This work completes the series of papers, initiated and furthered in [1,2], on dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and the emergence of mesonic bound states within the functional renormalisation group. As a first application we discuss the formation of light mesonic bound states. Amongst other applications such as the phase structure of QCD, the current work paves the way for studying QCD parton distribution functions within the functional renormalisation group approach to first-principles QCD.

All-loop four-quark Bethe-Salpeter kernel

hep-ph · 2026-05-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The all-loop bare perturbative part of the four-quark Bethe-Salpeter kernel is computed analytically in the large-Nf limit of massless QCD.

Fierz-complete four-quark interactions and the QCD phase diagram

hep-ph · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Including Fierz-complete four-quark interactions in fRG-QCD shifts the predicted critical endpoint to (T, μ_B) = (102, 647) MeV and slightly increases the phase boundary curvature to κ₂ = 0.0151, while confirming σ and π channels dominate except near the CEP.

Scalar diquarks in the QCD vacuum

hep-ph · 2026-06-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A first-principles FRG approach to two-flavor QCD derives low-energy constants for the pion, sigma-meson and scalar diquark without parameters beyond QCD itself, including new diquark properties for color-superconducting models.

Physics-informed operator flows and observables

hep-th · 2025-07-17 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Operator PIRGs complete the prior PIRG method by enabling computation of all correlation functions, demonstrated analytically in zero-dimensional phi^4 theory via vertex expansion to ten-point functions.

No planar degeneracy for the Landau gauge quark-gluon vertex

hep-ph · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The transverse quark-gluon vertex in Landau gauge QCD shows weak but non-negligible angular dependence with no planar degeneracy; the dynamically generated tensor coupling is the core driver of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in a self-consistent 3PI DSE system.
