We report on some recent analytical results on the behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory quantized in the maximal Abelian gauge (MAG). This gauge is of particular interest for the dual…
There has been substantial progress in understanding a class of SU(N) gauge theories that are confining at high temperatures. This class includes theories with center-symmetric Polyakov loop deformations or with periodic adjoint fermions.…
We study the confinement phase transition in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory, based on a statistical ensemble model of correlated instanton-dyons. We show for the first time that such a model provides a quantitative description, in light of the…
A random vortex world-surface model for the infrared sector of SU(4) Yang-Mills theory is constructed, focusing on the confinement properties and the behavior at the deconfinement phase transition. Although the corresponding data from…
We present rigorous upper and lower bounds for the zero-momentum gluon propagator D(0) of Yang-Mills theories in terms of the average value of the gluon field. This allows us to perform a controlled extrapolation of lattice data to infinite…
We study the genuine non-perturbative corrections to the Landau gauge ghost-gluon vertex in terms of the non-vanishing dimension-two gluon condensate, and prove these corrections to give account of current SU(2) lattice data for the vertex…
Our previous studies of Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory are extended to finite temperature. We investigate the SU(2) static gluon and ghost propagators and show results for the Coulomb potential, with a focus on the Gribov ambiguity. To…
The recent investigations of pure Landau gauge SU(3) Yang-Mills theories which are based on the truncated Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDE) indicate an infrared power law behavior of the gluon and the ghost propagators. It has been shown that…
This is the first of a series of two papers on the perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim is to eventually compare with results from lattice simulations in order to enlight…
We continue the systematic computation of Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators of SU(2) gluodynamics using a sequence of increasing lattice sizes L^4 up to L=112 with corresponding \beta-values chosen to keep the linear physical size…
In a numerical Monte Carlo simulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with light dynamical gluinos the low energy features of the dynamics as confinement and bound state mass spectrum are investigated. The motivation is supersymmetry at…
The infrared behavior of the gluon and ghost propagators is analyzed in Yang-Mills theories in the presence of dynamical mass generation in the Landau gauge. By restricting the domain of integration in the path-integral to the Gribov region…
The high-temperature phase of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is addressed by means of dimensional reduction with a special emphasis on the properties of center vortices. For this purpose, the vortex vacuum which arises from center projection is…
The connection of Gribov's confinement scenario in Coulomb gauge with the center vortex picture of confinement is investigated. For this purpose we assume a vacuum wave functional which models the infrared properties of the theory and in…
We give new descriptions of lattice SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in terms of new lattice variables. The validity of such descriptions has already been demonstrated in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory by our previous works from the viewpoint of…
A random vortex world-surface model for the infrared sector of Sp(2) Yang-Mills theory is constructed. The Sp(2) gauge group, while allowing for the same set of center vortex fluxes as the SU(2) gauge group, induces a significantly…
We analyse the complete algebraic structure of the background field method for Yang--Mills theory in the Landau gauge and show several structural simplifications within this approach. In particular we present a new way to study the IR…
The infrared properties of lattice Landau gauge QCD of SU(3) are studied by measuring gluon propagator, ghost propagator, QCD running coupling and Kugo-Ojima parameter of $\beta=6.0, 16^4,24^4,32^4$ and $\beta=6.4, 32^4, 48^4, 56^4$…
We consider Yang-Mills theories in a recently proposed family of nonlinear covariant gauges that consistently deals with the issue of Gribov ambiguities. Such gauges provide a generalization of the Curci-Ferrari-Delbourgo-Jarvis gauges…
The gauge-boson, ghost and fermion propagators as well as the gauge-boson--ghost vertex function are studied for SU(N), Sp(2N) and SO(N) gauge groups. We solve a set of coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations in Landau gauge for a variable,…
