Vanishing dynamical quark mass at zero virtuality?
Abstract
We show that the dynamical quark mass in effective nonlocal models can vanish at zero virtuality of the quark as M(p2) p2. Our arguments follow from the constrained-instanton model of the QCD vacuum and from QCD sum rules calculations with nonlocal condensates. The discussed models also lead to analyticity of M(p2) in the vicinity of zero.
