Constructing non-perturbative gauges using correlation functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Gauge fixing in the non-perturbative domain of non-Abelian gauge theories is obstructed by the Gribov-Singer ambiguity. To compare results from different methods it is necessary to resolve this ambiguity explicitly. Such a resolution is proposed using conditions on correlation functions for a family of non-perturbative Landau gauges. As a consequence, the various results available for correlation functions could possibly correspond to different non-perturbative Landau gauges, discriminated by an additional non-perturbative gauge parameter. The proposal, the necessary assumptions, and evidence from lattice gauge theory calculations, are presented in detail.

Flow Equations for Yang-Mills Theories in General Axial Gauges
We present a formulation of non-Abelian gauge theories in general axial gauges using a Wilsonian (or ’Exact’) Renormalisation Group. No ’spurious’ propagator divergencies are encountered in contrast to standard perturbation theory. Modified Ward identities, compatible with the flow equation, ensure gauge invariance of physical Green functions. The axial gauge nA = 0 is shown to be a fixed point...
متن کاملLinear covariant gauges on the lattice
Linear covariant gauges, such as Feynman gauge, are very useful in perturbative calculations. Their nonperturbative formulation is, however, highly non-trivial. In particular, it is a challenge to define linear covariant gauges on a lattice. We consider a class of gauges in lattice gauge theory that coincides with the perturbative definition of linear covariant gauges in the formal continuum li...
متن کاملVassiliev Invariants in the Context of Chern-simons Gauge Theory
We summarize the progress made during the last few years on the study of Vassiliev invariants from the point of view of perturbative Chern-Simons gauge theory. We argue that this approach is the most promising one to obtain a combinatorial universal formula for Vassiliev invariants. The combinatorial expressions for the two primitive Vassiliev invariants of order four, recently obtained in this...
متن کاملGauge-invariant resummation formalism for two-point correlation functions.
The consistent description of unstable particles, renormalons, or other Schwinger–Dysontype of solutions within the framework of perturbative gauge field theories necessitates the definition and resummation of off-shell Green’s functions, which must respect several crucial physical requirements. A formalism is presented for resummation of off-shell twopoint correlation functions, which is mainl...
متن کاملJoint Statistics of Strongly Correlated Neurons via Dimensional Reduction
Abstract The relative timing of action potentials in neurons recorded from local cortical networks often shows a non-trivial dependence, which is then quantified by cross-correlation functions. Theoretical models emphasize that such spike train correlations are an inevitable consequence of two neurons being part of the same network and sharing some synaptic input. For non-linear neuron models, ...
