The `BRST-invariant' Condensate of Dimension Two in QCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-05 v1

Abstract

The status of the `BRST-invariant' condensate of mass dimension two in QCD is explained. The condensate is only invariant under an `on-shell' BRST symmetry which includes a partial gauge-fixing. The on-shell BRST symmetry represents the residual gauge symmetry under gauge transformations which preserve the partial gauge fixing. The gauge-invariant operators which correspond to the BRST-invariant condensate are identified in the Lorentz and maximal Abelian gauges and are shown to be invariant under the residual gauge transformations.
