Decoupling and scaling solutions in Yang-Mills theory with the Gribov horizon
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a trick which enables one to incorporate the Gribov horizon into the Schwinger-Dyson equation in Landau and Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory, using the Gribov-Zwanziger framework with the horizon term. We find a family of solutions parameterized by one-parameter wR(0) which was overlooked so far by assuming to be zero implicitly. The family includes both the scaling and decoupling solutions, and specification of the parameter discriminates between them. In the Landau gauge we discuss a possible decoupling solution satisfying the Kugo-Ojima criterion for color confinement.

The nilpotent BRST symmetry for the Gribov-Zwanziger theory
We have obtained the nilpotent BRST symmetry of Yang-Mills theory restricted to the Gribov region. In fact, we give a modified BRST transformation that leaves the Gribov-Zwanziger action invariant and obeys the nilpotency, although the usual BRST symmetry is broken due to the non-vanishing Gribov parameter representing the presence of the Gribov horizon in the configuration space of the Yang-Mi...
متن کاملA study of the Higgs and confining phases in Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theories in 3d by taking into account the Gribov horizon
We study SU(2) three-dimensional Yang-Mills theories in presence of Higgs fields in the light of the Gribov phenomenon. By restricting the domain of integration in the functional integral to the first Gribov horizon, we are able to discuss a kind of transition between the Higgs and the confining phase in a semi-classical approximation. Both adjoint and fundamental representation for the Higgs f...
متن کاملWeak gauge-invariance of dimension two condensate in Yang-Mills theory
We give a formal proof that the space-time average of the vacuum condensate of mass dimension two, i.e., the vacuum expectation value of the squared potential A 2 μ , is gauge invariant in the weak sense that it is independent of the gauge-fixing condition adopted in quantizing the Yang-Mills theory, at least for the small deformation from the generalized Lorentz and the modified Maximal Abelia...
متن کاملAspects of confinement from QCD correlation functions
We discuss the properties of ghost and gluon propagators in Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory and their relation to the confinement problem. In general two types of infrared behavior of these functions are allowed from their functional equations: scaling and decoupling. Both solutions show positivity violations in the gluon propagator and lead to a confining Polyakov loop potential. However, only ...
متن کاملInfrared behavior of the ghost propagator in the Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory
We prove that the Faddeev-Popov ghost dressing function in the YangMills theory is non-zero and finite in the limit of vanishing momenta and hence the ghost propagator behaves like free in the deep infrared regime, within the Gribov-Zwanziger framework of the D-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge for any D > 2. This result implies that the Kugo-Ojima color confinement criter...
