abstract
The masses and decay constants of the light vector mesons $\rho/\omega$, $\phi$ and $K^\star$ are studied within a ladder-rainbow truncation of the coupled Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations of QCD with a model 2-point gluon function. The approach is consistent with quark and gluon confinement, reproduces the correct one-loop renormalization group behavior of QCD, generates dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, and preserves the relevant Ward identities. The one phenomenological parameter and two current quark masses are fixed by requiring that the calculated $f_\pi, m_\pi$ and $m_K$ are correct. The resulting $f_K$ is within 3% of the experimental value. For the vector mesons, all eight transverse covariants are included and the dominant ones are identified; the complete angle dependence of the amplitudes is also retained. The calculated values for the masses $m_\rho, m_\phi$ and $m_{K^\star}$ are within 5%, while the decay constants $f_\rho, f_\phi$ and $f_{K^\star}$ for electromagnetic and leptonic decays are within 10% of the experimental values.

Varying interaction strength in DSE/BSE models produces meson degeneracies whose domains shrink with model realism, linked to quark propagator pole locations and possible chiral spin symmetry.
An algebraic light-front model supplies unified leading-twist PDAs, LFWFs, GPDs, PDFs, EFFs, charge radii and IPS-GPDs for light, heavy-light and heavy-heavy pseudoscalar mesons from the same Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes.
