Exploring the infrared Landau gauge propagators using large asymmetric lattices
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on the infrared limit of the quenched lattice Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators computed from large asymmetric lattices. In particular, the compatibility of the pure power law infrared solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equations with the lattice data is investigated and the exponent κ is measured. The gluon lattice data favour κ ∼ 0.52, which would imply a vanishing zero momentum gluon propagator. For the subset of lattices where the ghost propagator was computed, the data are not compatible with a pure power law. Our data also show a decreasing running coupling in the infrared region. Furthermore, positivity violation for the gluon propagator is also verified.

Infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators from asymmetric lattices
We present a numerical study of the lattice Landau gluon and ghost propagators in three-dimensional pure SU(2) gauge theory. Data have been obtained using asymmetric lattices (V = 20×60, 40×60, 8 × 64, 8 × 140, 12 × 140 and 16 × 140) for the lattice coupling β = 3.4, in the scaling region. We find that the gluon (respectively ghost) propagator is suppressed (respec. enhanced) at small momenta i...
متن کاملInfrared Gluon and Ghost Propagators from Lattice QCD Results from large asymmetric lattices
We report on the infrared limit of the quenched lattice Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators as well as the strong coupling constant computed from large asymmetric lattices. The infrared lattice propagators are compared with the pure power law solutions from Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE). For the gluon propagator, the lattice data is compatible with the DSE solution. The preferred measure...
متن کاملGluons, Quarks, and the Transition from Nonperturbative to Perturbative Qcd
Lattice-based investigations of two fundamental QCD quantities are described, namely the gluon and quark propagators in Landau gauge. We have studied the Landau gauge gluon propagator using a variety of lattices with spacings from a = 0.17 to 0.41 fm to explore finite volume and discretization effects. We also introduce the general method of “tree-level correction” to minimize the effect of lat...
متن کاملThe Infrared Behavior of QCD Propagators in Landau Gauge
Some features of the solutions to the truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations(DSEs) for the propagators of QCD in Landau gauge are summarized. In particular, the Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion is realized, and positivity of transverse gluons is manifestly violated in these solutions. In Landau gauge, the gluon-ghost vertex function offers a convenient possibility to define a nonperturbative runni...
متن کاملInfrared behaviour and fixed points in Landau gauge QCD
We investigate the infrared behaviour of gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD by means of an exact renormalisation group equation. We explain how, in general, the infrared momentum structure of Green functions can be extracted within this approach. An optimisation procedure is devised to remove residual regulator dependences. In Landau gauge QCD this framework is used to determine th...
