Abstract

We analyze the lattice SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge. We show that the static gluon propagator is multiplicative renormalizable and takes the simple form D(p)1=p2+M4/p2D(|\vec{p}|)^{-1}=\sqrt{|\vec{p}|^2+M^4/|\vec{p}|^2}, proposed by Gribov through heuristic arguments many years ago. We find M=0.88(1)GeV2σM=0.88(1) {\rm GeV} \simeq 2 \sqrt{\sigma}.
