We propose the use of Heaviside transform with respect to the quark mass to investigate dynamical aspects of QCD. We show that at large momentum transfer the transformed propagator of massive quarks behaves softly and thus the dominant effect of explicit chiral symmetry breaking disappears through Heaviside transform. This suggests that it is more convenient to do massless approximation in the transformed quantity than in the original one. As an example of explicit approximation, we estimate the massless value of the quark condensate.

Chiral symmetry breaking at finite baryon density is usually discussed in the context of quark matter, i.e. a system of deconfined quarks. Many systems like stable nuclei and neutron stars however have quarks confined within nucleons. In this paper we construct a Fermi sea of three-quark nucleon clusters and investigate the change of the quark condensate as a function of baryon density. We study the effect of quark clustering on the in-medium quark condensate and compare results with the traditional approach of modeling hadronic matter in terms of a Fermi sea of deconfined quarks.

Abstract The quark propagator at finite temperature is investigated using quenched gauge configurations. The propagator form factors are investigated for temperatures above and below the gluon deconfinement temperature $$T_c$$Tc and for the various Matsubara frequencies. Significant differences between the functional behaviour below and above $$T_c$$Tc are observed both for the quark wave function and the running quark mass. The results for the running quark mass indicate a link between gluon dynamics, the mechanism for chiral symmetry breaking and the deconfinement mechanism. For temperatures above $$T_c$$Tc and for low momenta, our results support also a description of quarks as free quasiparticles.

Utilizing the dual QCD model in term of magnetic symmetry structure of non- Abelian gauge theories, the dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking using Schwinger-Dyson equation has been investigated. A close relation among the color confinement and chiralsymmetry breaking has been observed and demonstrated by computing dynamical parameters. The recovery of the chiral symmetry has also been discussed at finite temperature through the variation of quark mass function and quark condensate which gradually decreases with temperature and vanishes suddenly near the critical temperature.

For the low-energy approximation of QCD, the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model has been used. Quarks interact with an external homogeneous color-magnetic field, simulating the contribution of the gluon condensate. The value of the gluon condensate, needed to reach the correct value of the quark condensate, is determined and agrees well with the value obtained from QCD sum rules.
