Abstract
We study the dynamical generation of resonances in isospin singlet channels with mixing between two-and four-quark states. To this end, we generalize a Bethe-Salpeter approach to four-quark states employed previously to accommodate for mixing diagrams. The q (q) over barq (q) over bar and q (q) over bar components of the Bethe-Salpeter wave function (with light quarks q is an element of {u, d}) are determined consistently in a symmetry-preserving truncation of the underlying Dyson-Schwinger equations. As a prominent example, we deal with the isospin-singlet 0(++) meson with light quark content. We find that the pi pi contribution of the four-quark component is mainly responsible for the low (real part of the) mass of the resulting state. We also study the analytic structure in the complex momentum plane and find a branch cut at the two-pion threshold and a singularity in the second Riemann sheet indicating a considerable decay width. Our findings are in excellent qualitative agreement with the general picture for the sigma/f(0)(500) that emerged in the past two decades from dispersive approaches.
