The infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD is reviewed. The Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion and the Gribov-Zwanziger horizon condition result from quite general properties of the ghost Dyson-Schwinger…
We find the explicit form of two-point function for the conformal spin-2 energy momentum operators on the near horizon of a near extremal Kerr black hole by variation of a proper boundary action. In this regard, we consider an appropriate…
Starting from the effective lagrangian for QCD at high energy we calculate the lowest perturbative contributions to the potential of a relativistic nucleus and compare our results to those derived by Kovchegov (see Y.V. Kovchegov, Phys.…
In a recent work we described the form taken by the Minkowski-space gluon propagator in the presence of an A^2 condensate. This condensate has been seen to play an important role in calculations which make use of the operator product…
We propose to realize a mass gap in QCD by not imposing the transversality condition on the full gluon self-energy, while preserving the color gauge invariance condition for the full gluon propagator. This is justified by the nonlinear and…
In Gribov-Zwanziger scenario of color confinement, Zwanziger proposed two types of horizon function in lattice Landau gauge, the first one and the second one of which foundation was discussed in detail. The second type horizon function is…
We argue that the scattering of gravitons in ordinary Einstein gravity possesses a hidden conformal symmetry at tree level in any number of dimensions. The presence of this conformal symmetry is indicated by the dilaton soft theorem in…
Nonperturbative infrared finite solutions for the gluon polarization tensor have been found, and the possibility that gluons may have a dynamically generated mass is supported by recent Monte Carlo simulation on the lattice. These solutions…
Landau gauge gluon propagators are studied numerically in the SU(3) gluodynamics as well as in the full QCD with the number of flavors $n_F=2$ using efficient gauge fixing technique. We compare these propagators at temperatures very close…
The lattice Coulomb-gauge hamiltonian is derived from the transfer matrix of Wilson's Euclidean lattice gauge theory, wherein the lattice form of Gauss's law is satisfied identically. The restriction to a fundamental modular region (no…
Following a recent proposal by Cooper and Zwanziger we investigate via $SU(2)$ lattice simulations the effect on the Coulomb gauge propagators and on the Gribov-Zwanziger confinement mechanism of selecting the Gribov copy with the smallest…
We present lattice results for the gluon propagator for SU(2) and SU(3) in the Laplacian gauge which avoids lattice Gribov copies. In SU(3) we compare with the most recent lattice calculation in Landau gauge and with various approximate…
This work presents concisely the results obtained from the analysis of the two-point function of the gauge field in the $SU(2)$ and $SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge theories, in the Landau gauge, coupled to a scalar Higgs field in the fundamental…
We give preliminary numerical results for the gluon propagator evaluated both in coordinate and momentum space on a 16^3X40 quenched lattice at beta=6.0. Our findings are compared with earlier results in the literature at zero momentum. In…
We discuss the enumeration of planar graphs using bijections with suitably decorated trees, which allow for keeping track of the geodesic distances between faces of the graph. The corresponding generating functions obey non-linear recursion…
We have unambiguously established the dynamical source of the mass scale parameter (the mass gap) responsible for the large scale structure of the true QCD vacuum. At the microscopic, Lagrangian level it is the nonlinear fundamental…
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…
In this contribution to the proceedings we will describe some of the details for constructing the Gribov horizon and the boundary of the fundamental modular domain, when restricting to some low energy modes of pure SU(2) gauge theory in a…
The 3-point vertices of QCD are examined at the symmetric subtraction point at one loop in the Landau gauge in the presence of the Gribov mass, gamma. They are expanded in powers of gamma^2 up to dimension four in order to determine the…
The inclusion of a mass-like term for the gluon in Yang-Mills theories quantized in the Landau gauge has proven to be an effective way of reproducing lattice results for gauge-fixed correlation functions within perturbative computations.…
