Abstract

The finite temperature spatial [Formula: see text] correlation modes in the π and ρ channels are studied with the rainbow-ladder truncated quark Dyson–Schwinger equation and Bethe–Salpeter equation in the Matsubara formalism. To retain the finite range of the effective interaction while facilitating summation over fermion Matsubara modes necessary to ensure continuity at T=0, a separable kernel is used. The model is fixed by T=0 properties and it implements dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and quark confinement. Transition temperatures for deconfinement (Td) and chiral restoration (Tc) are identified. Above and below these transitions we study Mπ(T), fπ(T) and the three-space transverse and longitudinal masses [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We also study the intrinsic T-dependence of the electromagnetic coupling constant gρ(T) and the strong coupling constant gρππ(T). For both this model and a related semi-analyticinfrared dominant model, we analyze the high T behavior of the obtained masses in comparison to the M(T)→2πT behavior found in lattice QCD simulations.
