We investigate dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and the emergence of mesonic bound states from the infrared dynamics of four-quark scatterings. Both phenomena originate from the resonant scalar-pseudoscalar channel of the four-quark scatterings, and we compute the functional renormalisation group (fRG) flows of the Fierz-complete four-quark interaction of up and down quarks with its $t$ channel momentum dependence. This is done in the isospin symmetric case, also including the flow of the quark two-point function. This system can be understood as the fRG analogues of the complete Bethe-Salpeter equations and quark gap equation. The pole mass of the pion is determined from both direct calculations of the four-quark flows in the Minkowski regime of momenta and the analytic continuation based on results in the Euclidean regime, which are consistent with each other.

  1. Pion Distribution Amplitudes from Functional QCD

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    fRG-based functional QCD plus LaMET yields a saturated pion quasi-DA at Pz=4.5 GeV and a second moment ⟨ξ²⟩π=0.267, smaller than lattice-LaMET and consistent with other nonperturbative methods.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 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 an...

  3. Scalar diquarks in the QCD vacuum

    hep-ph 2026-06 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-superconduct...

  4. Functional renormalization group study of the jet quenching parameter near the QCD critical end point

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    fRG calculations show the jet quenching parameter hat q is enhanced above the chiral boundary and peaks near the QCD critical end point due to critical sigma fluctuations.

  5. Kaon Distribution Amplitudes from Euclidean Functional QCD

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Kaon DA is single-peaked and asymmetric with moments ⟨ξ⟩_K = 0.020(3) and ⟨ξ²⟩_K = 0.253(12) after 1/P_z² and 1/P_z⁴ extrapolation of the quasi-DA.
