Abstract

We determine the gluon and ghost spectral functions along with the analytic structure of the associated propagators from numerical data describing gauge correlators at space-like momenta obtained by either solving the Dyson-Schwinger equations or through lattice simulations. Our novel reconstruction technique shows the expected branch cut for the gluon and the ghost propagator, which, in the gluon case, is supplemented with a pair of complex conjugate poles. Possible implications of the existence of these poles are briefly addressed.
