Temperature Dependence of Gluon and Ghost Propagators in Landau-Gauge Yang–Mills Theory below the Phase Transition
The Dyson–Schwinger equations of Landau-gauge Yang–Mills theory for the gluon and ghost propagators are investigated. Numerical results are obtained within a truncation scheme which has proven to be successful at vanishing temperature. For temperatures up to 250 MeV we find only minor quantitative changes in the infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators. The effective action calcula...
متن کاملInfrared behavior and infinite-volume limit of gluon and ghost propagators in Yang-Mills theories
Lattice studies of the infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators are a key probe of confinement scenarios in Yang-Mills theories. However, finite-volume effects become an important issue as the infrared limit is approached. By considering general quantities — namely an associated susceptibility in the gluon case and properties of the lowest-lying eigenmode of the Faddeev-Popov matrix in ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Limits and Sum Rules for Propagators in Quantum Chromodynamics
In gauge field theories with asymptotic freedom, the short distance properties of Green’s functions can be obtained on the basis of weak coupling perturbation expansions. Within this framework, the large momentum behavior of the structure functions for gluon, quark and ghost propagators is derived. The limits are found for general, covariant, linear gauges, and in all directions of the complex ...
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 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...
