Abstract

In this chapter we will study our early attempt [1] to formulate a model of dynamical quark and lepton mass generation. For the purpose of this thesis, it will serve as a playground for investigating directly the dynamical formation of fermion masses from the underlying dynamics and for studying possibilities of achieving the fermion mass hierarchy.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Sometimes we deliberately suppress the square power in momentum argument for the sake of saving a place in the following Schwinger–Dyson equations. The actual dependence on either \(p^2\) or \(p^\mu \) should be clear from the corresponding definition of a given function.

  2. 2.

    In the following we will use the index \(X\) to label all three types of anomalous scalar self-energies \(N,S,NS\). When it is necessary to denote just the scalars \(N,S\) we will use the label \(Y\).
