Propagators and topology
Two popular perspectives on the non-perturbative domain of Yang-Mills theories are either in terms of the gluons themselves or in terms of collective gluonic excitations, i.e. topological excitations. If both views are correct, then they are only two different representations of the same underlying physics. One possibility to investigate this connection is by the determination of gluon correlat...
متن کاملPropagators and Path Integrals
Path-integral expressions for one-particle propagators in scalar and fermionic field theories are derived, for arbitrary mass. This establishes a direct connection between field theory and specific classical point-particle models. The role of world-line reparametrization invariance of the classical action and the implementation of the corresponding BRST-symmetry in the quantum theory are discus...
متن کاملYang-Mills Propagators and QCD ∗
We present a strong coupling expansion that permits to develop analysis of quantum field theory in the infrared limit. Application to a quartic massless scalar field gives a massive spectrum and the propagator in this regime. We extend the approach to a pure Yang-Mills theory obtaining analogous results. The gluon propagator is compared satisfactorily with lattice results and similarly for the ...
متن کاملTopological Invariants and Anyonic Propagators
We obtain the Hausdorff dimension, h = 2− 2s, for particles with fractional spins in the interval, 0 ≤ s ≤ 0.5, such that the manifold is characterized by a topological invariant given by, W = h + 2s − 2p. This object is related to fractal properties of the path swept out by fractional spin particles, the spin of these particles, and the genus ( number of anyons ) of the manifold. We prove that...
متن کاملGluon propagators and quark confinement
The gluon propagator is investigated in Landau and in maximal center gauge for the gauge group SU(2) by means of lattice gauge simulations. We find that Gribov ambiguities arising from the implementation of Landau gauge have a small influence on the propagator. In agreement with previous findings, we obtain that the small momentum behavior is dominated by a mass, which is of order (1.48 ± 0.05)...
