Flavor mixing and solution structures in Dyson–Schwinger equations for a two-flavor system

We solved the Dyson–Schwinger(DS)equations for a two-flavor system with symmetry to study its flavor mixing effects.Initially,we employed the point interaction model and bare vertex approximation to reveal the structure of the solutions.Using the point interaction model,the DS equations can be solved analytically,and we found that these solutions can be classified into three groups,each forming an ellipse.These solutions exhibit SO(2)symmetry,while the original SU(2)symmetry at the Lagrangian level is dynamically broken to SO(2),corresponding to the emergence of flavor mixing effects.However,this flavor mixing effect does not manifest in the final physical state.By utilizing the system's SO(2)symmetry,we can diagonalize the propagators of the DS equations,eliminating the flavor mixing effect but causing the originally degenerate masses at the Lagrangian level to split.These mass eigenstates have identical quantum numbers but different masses.If we can correspond these to quark particles of different generations,we can explain why the three generations of quarks have different masses and obtain the corresponding quark mass spectrum.Finally,we provide the corresponding numerical results using a more realistic interaction model.
