We consider the gluon propagator $D(p^2)$ at various lattice sizes and spacings in the case of pure SU(3) Yang-Mills gauge theories using the Landau gauge fixing. We discuss a class of fits in the infrared region in order to (in)validate…
It has long been known that the gluon propagator in Landau-gauge QCD exhibits a mass gap; and its emergence has been ascribed to the action of the Schwinger mechanism in the gauge sector of QCD. In the present work, we relate this property…
We evaluate numerically the momentum-space gluon propagator in the lattice Landau gauge, for three- and four-dimensional pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Although there are large finite-size effects, we always observe, in the limit of large…
Pad\'e approximants are employed in order to study the analytic structure of the four-dimensional SU(2) Landau-gauge gluon and ghost propagators in the infrared regime. The approximants, which are model independent, are used as fitting…
We present explicit numerical evidence of reflection-positivity violation for the lattice Landau gluon propagator in three-dimensional pure SU(2) gauge theory. We use data obtained at very large lattice volumes (V = 80^3, 140^3) and for…
The infrared behaviour of the lattice Landau gauge gluon propagator is discussed, combining results from simulations with different volumes and lattice spacings. In particular, the Cucchieri-Mendes bounds are computed and their implications…

We study a recently proposed gauge invariant, non-local pure gauge observable, which is equivalent to the gluon propagator in a certain gauge. The correlator describes a gluon coupled to static sources and decays with eigenvalues of the…

We report on the lattice computation of the Landau gauge gluon propagator at finite temperature, including the non-zero Matsubara frequencies. Moreover, the corresponding K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density is computed, using a Tikhonov…
In the past years a good comprehension of the infrared gluon propagator has been achieved, with a good qualitative agreement between lattice results and Dyson-Schwinger equations. However, lattice simulations have been performed at physical…
We present approximate non-perturbative solutions for the propagators as well as the running coupling of QCD from a coupled system of renormalised, truncated Dyson--Schwinger equations. We employ ansaetze for the dressed vertices such that…
The non-perturbative gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD are obtained using the Schwinger-Dyson equation approach. The propagator equations are solved in Euclidean space using Landau gauge with a range of vertex inputs.…
We calculate the three-point functions of pure Landau gauge QCD and investigate their influence on the propagators. As expected, the ghost-gluon vertex leads only to minor modifications, while the three-gluon vertex has a sizeable impact on…
We study propagators of diagonal and off-diagonal gluons in the momentum space in maximal abelian gauge of SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Remaining U(1) degrees of freedom are fixed using Landau gauge. We find substantial difference between…
