The pinch technique and its applications to non-Abelian gauge theories / / John M. Cornwall, Joannis Papavassiliou, Daniele Binosi.
Non-Abelian gauge theories, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) or electroweak theory, are best studied with the aid of Green's functions that are gauge-invariant off-shell, but unlike for the photon in quantum electrodynamics, conventional graphical constructions fail. The pinch technique pro...
