Institute of Theoretical Physics, U. of Tübingen, D-72070 Tübingen, Germany (Dated: February 2, 2008) Abstract A semi-perturbative calculation of the ghost-gluon vertex in Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory in four and three Euclidean space-time dimensions is presented. Non-perturbative gluon and ghost propagators are employed, which have previously been calculated from a truncated set of Dyson– Schwinger equations and which are in qualitative and quantitative agreement with corresponding lattice results. Our results for the ghost-gluon vertex show only relatively small deviations from the tree-level one in agreement with recent lattice data. In particular, we do not see any sign for a singular behavior of the ghost-gluon vertex in the infrared.

Infrared analysis of propagators and vertices of Yang–Mills theory in Landau and Coulomb gauge
Abstract The infrared behaviour of gluon and ghost propagators, ghost-gluon vertex and three-gluon vertex is investigated for both the covariant Landau and the non-covariant Coulomb gauge. Assuming infrared ghost dominance, we find a unique infrared exponent in the d = 4 Landau gauge, while in the d = 3 + 1 Coulomb gauge we find two different infrared exponents. We also show that a finite dress...
متن کاملVertex functions and infrared fixed point in Landau gauge SU(N) Yang-Mills theory
The infrared behaviour of vertex functions in an SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge is investigated employing a skeleton expansion of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. The threeand four-gluon vertices become singular if and only if all external momenta vanish while the dressing of the ghost-gluon vertex remains finite in this limit. The running coupling as extracted from either of these verte...

متن کاملThe running coupling from the four-gluon vertex in Landau gauge SU(N) Yang-Mills theory
The running coupling of Yang-Mills theory has been investigated in a number of approaches in recent years [1]. The focus of these studies is the question how to extend our knowledge of the coupling from the perturbative, large momentum region towards small scales of the order of ΛQCD. Perturbation theory alone, plagued by the problem of the Landau pole, is clearly insufficient for this task. In...
متن کاملThe Ghost-Gluon Vertex in Landau Gauge Yang-Mills Theory
Possible mechanisms for gluon confinement in Yang-Mills theory in covariant gauges are discussed briefly. Implications for the infrared behavior of the Green’s functions are outlined. Results for the gluon and Faddeev-Popov ghost propagators from DysonSchwinger studies and lattice calculations are presented. The importance of the ghostgluon vertex in these studies is discussed. Numerical result...
