Lattice gauge-fixing for generic covariant gauges
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a method which allows the generalization of the Landau lattice gauge-fixing procedure to generic covariant gauges. We report preliminary numerical results showing how the procedure works for SU(2) and SU(3). We also report numerical results showing that the contribution of finite lattice-spacing effects and/or spurious copies are relevant in the lattice gauge-fixing procedure.

Results on the Gluon Propagator in Lattice Covariant Gauges
We present preliminary data on the gluon propagator in generalized covariant gauges. The motivation for considering a generalized gauge-fixing procedure stems, just as in the continuum, from the necessity of studying the gauge dependence of the Green’s functions. In the covariant gauges it is possible to change the gauge fixing varying the value of the gauge parameter. In the continuum, the gen...
متن کاملLinear covariant gauges on the lattice
Linear covariant gauges, such as Feynman gauge, are very useful in perturbative calculations. Their nonperturbative formulation is, however, highly non-trivial. In particular, it is a challenge to define linear covariant gauges on a lattice. We consider a class of gauges in lattice gauge theory that coincides with the perturbative definition of linear covariant gauges in the formal continuum li...
متن کاملSoft Covariant Gauges on the Lattice UKQCD Collaboration
We present an exploratory study of a one-parameter family of covariant, non-perturbative lattice gauge-fixing conditions, that can be implemented through a simple Monte Carlo algorithm. We demonstrate that at the numerical level the procedure is feasible, and as a first application we examine the gauge dependence of the gluon propagator.
متن کاملLattice Gauge Fixing as Quenching and the Violation of Spectral Positivity
Lattice Landau gauge and other related lattice gauge fixing schemes are known to violate spectral positivity. The most direct sign of the violation is the rise of the effective mass as a function of distance. The origin of this phenomenon lies in the quenched character of the auxiliary field g used to implement lattice gauge fixing, and is similar to quenched QCD in this respect. This is best s...
متن کاملInfrared Propagators in MAG and Feynman gauge on the lattice
We propose to investigate infrared properties of gluon and ghost propagators related to the so-called Gribov-Zwanziger confinement scenario, originally formulated for Landau and Coulomb gauges, for other gauges as well. We present results of our investigation of SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the maximally Abelian gauge (MAG), focusing on the behavior of propagators in the off-diagonal (i.e. non...
