Gluon field configurations with non-trivial topology like instantons, magnetic monopoles and center vortices play a crucial role in QCD and, in particular, for the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. Moreover, center vortices are…
Resorting to the the Laplace center gauge (LCG) and to the Maximal-center gauge (MCG), respectively, confining vortices are defined by center projection in either case. Vortex properties are investigated in the continuum limit of SU(2)…

In the Landau-gauge lattice gluodynamics we find that, both in the SU(2) and SU(3) theory, a correlation of the Polyakov loop with the asymmetry of the $A^2$ gluon condensate as well as with the longitudinal propagator makes it possible to…

We study the application of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gauge field smoothing methods to $\mathrm{Z}(3)$-projected center-vortex gauge fields. Due to the proportionality of the vortex links to the identity, naive applications of these methods are…
Infrared behavior of the Landau gauge gluon propagators is studied numerically in the 3d SU(2) gauge theory on the lattice. A special accent is made on the study of Gribov copy effect. For this study we employ an efficient gauge-fixing…
The quenched gluon and ghost propagator data published in [1] is reanalysed following the suggestion of [2] to resolve the differences between the infrared data of the simulations. Our results confirms that the procedure works well either…

We perform an OPE analysis of the flavorless non-perturbative gluon propagator and the symmetric three-gluon vertex in the Landau gauge. The first subdominant operator is $A_\mu A^\mu$ which can condensate in the Landau gauge ``vacuum''…

We report two probes of centre vortices in pure SU(2). First, we attempt to generate plaquette-size Z(2) vortices in a quasi-random way to compare the structure with those of projected centre vortices from the full theory; our prescription…

A gauge invariant, non-local observable is constructed in lattice pure gauge theory, which is identical to the gluon propagator in a particular gauge. The transfer matrix formalism is used to show that this correlator decays exponentially…
