Abstract
We consider the problem of renormalization of the Schwinger-Dyson equation, encountered when the interquark interaction kernel is modeled by an instantaneous potential. More precisely, the Coulomb potential, needed for describing the short-distance part of the gluon exchange, leads to ultraviolet divergences in the Schwinger-Dyson equation. The standard prescription which has been used up till now to subtract these divergences, suffers from a serious conceptual problem: it is not momentum independent. In this work we propose a new and momentum-independent renormalization prescription, and take special care to preserve the correct chiral limit for light pseudoscalar mesons.
