We propose a modified lattice Landau gauge based on stereographically projecting the link variables on the circle S^1 -> R for compact U(1) or the 3-sphere S^3 -> R^3 for SU(2) before imposing the Landau gauge condition. This can reduce the…

In the modern formulation of lattice gauge-fixing, the gauge fixing condition is written in terms of the minima or stationary points (collectively called solutions) of a gauge-fixing functional. Due to the non-linearity of this functional,…

We address the problem of the gauge fixing versus Gribov copies in lattice gauge theories. For the Landau gauge, results show that a suitable combination of evolutionary algorithms with traditional steepest descent methods identifies the…

Complete gauge-fixing beyond perturbation theory in non-Abelian gauge theories is a non-trivial problem. This is particularly evident in covariant gauges, where the Gribov-Singer ambiguity gives an explicit formulation of the problem. In…

The Gribov ambiguity problem is studied for compact U(1) lattice theory within the Lorentz gauge. In the Coulomb phase, it is shown that apart from double Dirac sheets all gauge (i.e. Gribov) copies originate mainly from the zero-momentum…

We study the problem of the Landau gauge fixing in the case of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We show that the probability to find a lattice Gribov copy increases considerably when the physical size of the lattice exceeds some critical…

When fixing a covariant gauge, most popularly the Landau gauge, on the lattice one encounters the Neuberger 0/0 problem which prevents one from formulating a Becchi--Rouet--Stora--Tyutin symmetry on the lattice. Following the interpretation…

We show that a modification of the BRST lattice quantization allows to circumvent an old paradox, formulated by Neuberger, related to lattice Gribov copies and non-perturbative BRST invariance. In the continuum limit the usual BRST…

We suggest a new (dynamical) Abelian projection of the lattice QCD. It contains no gauge condition imposed on gauge fields so that Gribov copying is avoided. Configurations of gauge fields that turn into monopoles in the Abelian projection…

We reinvestigate the problem of Gribov ambiguities within the Landau (or Lorentz) gauge for the ghost and gluon propagators in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We make use of the full symmetry group of the action taking into account {\it…

The covariant gauges are known to suffer from the Gribov problem: even after fixing a gauge non-perturbatively, there may still exist residual copies which are physically equivalent to each other, called Gribov copies. While the influence…

Recent lattice data have reported an infrared suppressed, positivity violating gluon propagator which is nonvanishing at zero momentum and a ghost propagator which is no longer enhanced. This paper discusses how to obtain analytical results…

An alternative method to account for the Gribov ambiguities in gauge theories is presented. It is shown that, to eliminate Gribov ambiguities, at infinitesimal level, it is required to break the BRST symmetry in a soft manner. This can be…

The Kugo-Ojima color confinement criterion, which is based on the BRST symmetry of the continuum QCD is numerically tested by the lattice Landau gauge simulation. We first discuss the Gribov copy problem and the BRST symmetry on the…

We compare two Landau gauge fixing methods, aiming to find the global maximum of the gauge fixing functional. Moreover, a systematic effect of Gribov copies in the gluon and ghost propagators computed in Landau gauge is presented and…

We address the problem of Gribov copies in lattice QCD. The gluon propagator is computed, in the Landau gauge, using 302 ($\beta = 5.8$) $12^4$ configurations gauge fixed to different copies. The results of the simulation shows that: i) the…

We propose a generalisation of the Faddeev-Popov trick for Yang-Mills fields in the Landau gauge. The gauge-fixing is achieved as a genuine change of variables. In particular the Jacobian that appears is the modulus of the standard…

The standard techniques of gauge-fixing, such as covariant gauge fixing, are entirely adequate for the purposes of studies of perturbative QCD. However, they fail in the nonperturbative regime due to the presence of Gribov copies. These…

We study the influence of Gribov copies, in the Landau gauge, on the lattice renormalisation constant of the axial current, obtained from a Ward identity on quark state correlation functions, with the Clover action, in quenched SU(3) gauge…

The Laplacian gauge on the lattice is investigated numerically using U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. The problem of Gribov ambiguities is addressed and to asses the smoothness of the gauge fixed configurations, they are compared to…
