Bethe-Salpeter Equations with Instantaneous Confinement: Establishing Stability of Bound States

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Salpeter equations with potential functions rising to infinity in configuration space do not automatically predict stable bound states. For this to happen, also the Lorentz behaviour of the involved Bethe-Salpeter kernels is crucial. At least for interaction potentials of harmonic-oscillator form analytic scrutinies of Salpeter equations with confining interactions may identify those Bethe-Salpeter kernels which describe bound states free from the notorious instabilities encountered in numerical evaluations. Such truly confining kernels can be singled out systematically by requesting the resulting bound-state energy spectra to be both real and discrete.
