We use the Gribov-Zwanziger Lagrangian in QCD to evaluate the one loop correction to the gluon propagator as a function of the Gribov volume and verify that the propagator vanishes in the infrared limit. Using the corresponding correction…
Either by solving the ghost propagator DSE or through a one-loop computation in the RGZ (Refined Gribov-Zwanziger) formalism, we show that a non-trivial ghost-gluon vertex is anyhow required to obtain a ghost propagator prediction…
We revisit the computation of the three-gluon vertex in the Landau gauge using lattice QCD simulations with large physical volumes of $\sim$ (6.5 fm)$^ 4$ and $\sim$ (8 fm)$^ 4$ and large statistical ensembles. For the kinematical…
We study the Landau gauge gluon propagator D(p) in the 3d SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We show that in the infinite-volume limit the expectation values over the Gribov region \Omega, are different (in the infrared) from that calculated in…
We present some evidence that in Lattice Gauge Theory the condensate contains a non-perturbative contribution proportional to $\Lambda^2$, the square of the physical scale. This result is based on an analysis of the Wilson loop plaquette…
The dependence of the Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators on the choice of Gribov copies is studied in pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory. Whereas the influence on the gluon propagator is small, the ghost propagator becomes clearly…
