What Is the Relationship Between Vertex Function and Wave Function of Mesons?

I need to know the relation of wave function and vertex function of mesons. Any one give me an explanation of them. Are they same? in some journals their expressions are the same and in other papers the wave function expresses as a function of the vertex function of meson. Which one is the correct? THANK YOU!

I find it difficult to get a clue what you are asking about. Vertex functions appear in renormalizable field theories in higher order pertubation theory as corrections to vertices in Feynman diagrams.

However, there is no such field theory dealing mesons as fundamental particles - the standard model is about quarks and leptons.

I don't see an obvious relation between these vertex functions and the wave function of a particle.

Can you give a link?
 
For instance, on the leptonic decays of mesons, the Bethe-Salpeter wave function expresses in terms of the hadron quark-antiquark vertex function of mesons. see the following journal on google;

Thanks for the link - interesting stuff. But I do not feel competent enough to comment on this.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
