We study the gluon propagator in the Landau gauge in SU(3) lattice QCD at $\beta$=5.7, 5.8 and 6.0 at the quenched level. The Euclidean Landau-gauge gluon propagator $D(r)\equiv D_{\mu\mu}^{aa}(x)/24$ is found to be well described by…
We analyze data from finite-temperature simulations of the gluon propagator in SU(2) Landau gauge on large lattices. We argue that the singular behavior of this quantity around the deconfinement transition, seen in several previous studies,…

Lattice simulations of the QCD correlation functions in the Landau gauge have established two remarkable facts. First, the coupling constant in the gauge sector remains finite and moderate at all scales, suggesting that some kind of…
Both lattice simulations and theoretical studies show that the spectral function of the gluon propagator of QCD (in various gauges, as well as for the gauge-invariant Pinch Technique, or PT, propagator) is not non-negative everywhere,…
