Description

Yang-Mills theory and 2-flavour QCD are investigated with the functional renormalisation group equation in the vacuum. Starting from the perturbative parameters of QCD as only input, the effective action is calculated in a vertex expansion. The focus is put on the properties of the corresponding 1PI correlations functions as well as the relation between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking.
