The influence of Gribov copies on the gluon and ghost propagator
نویسنده
چکیده
The dependence of the gluon and ghost propagator in pure SU(3) gauge theory on the choice of Gribov copies in Landau gauge is studied. Simulations were performed on several lattice sizes at β = 5.8, 6.0 and 6.2. In the infrared region the ghost propagator turns out to depend on the choice, while the impact on the gluon propagator is not resolvable. Also the eigenvalue distribution of the Faddeev-Popov operator is sensitive to Gribov copies.

Gribov Copies in the Minimal Landau Gauge: the Influence on Gluon and Ghost Propagators
We study the influence of Gribov copies on gluon and ghost propagators, evaluated numerically in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the minimal Landau gauge. Simulations are done at four different values of β (namely β = 0, 0.8, 1.6 and 2.7 ) and for volumes up to 164 (up to 244 at β = 1.6). For the gluon propagator, Gribov noise seems to be of the order of magnitude of the numerical accuracy, ...
متن کاملHow to extract information from Green’s functions in Landau gauge
The infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators offers a crucial test of confinement scenarios in Yang-Mills theories. A nonperturbative study of these propagators from first principles is possible in lattice simulations, but one must consider significantly large lattice sizes in order to approach the infrared limit. We propose constraints based on general properties of the propagators to ...
متن کاملThe infrared behavior of lattice QCD Green’s functions
Within the framework of lattice QCD we investigate different aspects of QCD in Landau gauge using Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we focus on the low momentum behavior of gluon and ghost propagators. The gauge group is that of QCD, namely SU(3). For our study of the lattice gluodynamic, simulations were performed on several lattice sizes ranging from 12 to 48 at the three values of the ...
متن کاملGribov copies, Lattice QCD and the gluon propagator
We address the problem of Gribov copies in lattice QCD. The gluon propagator is computed, in the Landau gauge, using 302 (β = 5.8) 12 configurations gauge fixed to different copies. The results of the simulation shows that: i) the effect of Gribov copies is small (less than 10%); ii) Gribov copies change essentially the lowest momenta components (q < 2.6 GeV); iii) within the statistical accura...
متن کاملInfrared Exponents and the Running Coupling of Landau gauge QCD and their Relation to Confinement
The infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD is reviewed. The Kugo–Ojima confinement criterion and the Gribov–Zwanziger horizon condition result from quite general properties of the ghost Dyson–Schwinger equation. The numerical solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators obtained from a truncated set of Dyson–Schwinger equations provide an explicit example for...
