Confinement, Chiral Symmetry Breaking and complex mass in QED2+1 in Minkowski and Euclidean spaces

Abstract

Without any analytical assumption we solve the ladder QED2+1 in Minkowski space. Further, we transform Greens functions to the Temporal Euclidean space, wherein we show that in the special case of ladder QED2+1 the solution is fully equivalent to the Minkowski one. The obtained complex fermion propagator exhibits confinement because of the lack of the pole at the real timelike $q^2$ axis.
