In this work we compute, at the "one-loop-dressed" level, the nonperturbative contribution of the ghost loops to the self-energy of the gluon propagator, in the Landau gauge. This is accomplished within the PT-BFM formalism, which…
We solve the Dyson-Schwinger equations of the ghost and gluon propagators of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory together with that of the ghost-gluon vertex. The latter plays a central role in many truncation schemes for functional equations.…

We study the gluon and ghost propagators of SU(2) lattice Landau gauge theory and find their low-momentum behavior being sensitive to the lowest non-trivial eigenvalue (\lambda_1) of the Faddeev-Popov operator. If the gauge-fixing favors…
I present some new results regarding confinement as it appears in Coulomb gauge. It is found that: i) a recently proposed Yang-Mills vacuum wavefunctional in temporal gauge and 2+1 dimensions yields a Coulomb-gauge ghost propagator and…
