Atkinson, D

An earlier analysis of the Dyson--Schwinger equation for the quark propagator is improved by taking the Slavnov--Taylor identity into account in the ultraviolet. It is found that chiral symmetry breaking occurs above a critical coupling in the Landau gauge; but that this result does not hold in other gauges.
