Confinement, quark mass functions, and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in Minkowski space

We formulate the covariant equations for quark-antiquark bound states in Minkowski space in the framework of the covariant spectator theory. The quark propagators are dressed with the same kernel that describes the interaction between different quarks. We show that these equations are charge-conjuga...
