Propagators in Yang-Mills theory for different gauges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Green’s functions are gauge-dependent quantities. Thus, the manifestation of confinement in these correlation functions also depends on the gauge. Here we use lattice gauge theory to study the gluon and the ghost propagators in a gauge (the so-called λ -gauge) interpolating between the Landau and the Coulomb gauge. Results are compared to the usual minimal Landau gauge.

The 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...
متن کاملGauges and Hamiltonian approach to Yang – Mills Theories
A variety of unitary gauges for perturbation theory in a background field is considered in order to find those most suitable for a Hamiltonian treatment of the system. We select two convenient gauges and derive the propagators Dμν for gluonic quantum fluctuations immersed in background configurations. The first one is a unitary generalization of the usual Coulomb gauge in QED which preserves th...
متن کاملInfrared exponents of Yang-Mills theory
In this talk I summarise recent results on the infrared exponents of SU(Nc)-Yang-Mills theory. I discuss a self-consistent power law solution for the Dyson-Schwinger equations for general 1PI-Greens functions in the infrared. The corresponding running coupling has a fixed point at zero momentum, which turns out to be universal and gauge invariant within a class of transverse gauges. When calcul...
متن کاملComparing Pure Yang-mills Su(2) and Su(3) Propagators
The infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators in Yang-Mills gauge theories is of central importance for the understanding of confinement in QCD. While analytic studies using Schwinger-Dyson equations predict the same infrared exponents for the SU(2) and SU(3) gauge groups, lattice simulations usually assume that the two cases are different, although their qualitative infrared features ma...
متن کامل2 Ghost condensates in Yang - Mills theories in nonlinear gauges
Ghost condensates of dimension two are analysed in a class of nonlinear gauges in pure Yang-Mills theories. These condensates are related to the breaking of the SL(2, R) symmetry, present in these gauges.
