The Landau gauge lattice ghost propagator in stochastic perturbation theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present oneand two-loop results for the ghost propagator in Landau gauge calculated in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT). The one-loop results are compared with available standard Lattice Perturbation Theory in the infinite-volume limit. We discuss in detail how to perform the different necessary limits in the NSPT approach and discuss a recipe to treat logarithmic terms by introducing “finite-lattice logs”. We find agreement with the one-loop result from standard Lattice Perturbation Theory and estimate, from the non-logarithmic part of the ghost propagator in two-loop order, the unknown constant contribution to the ghost self-energy in the RI’-MOM scheme in Landau gauge. That constant vanishes within our numerical accuracy.

The lattice ghost propagator in Landau gauge up to three loops using Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory
We complete our high-accuracy studies of the lattice ghost propagator in Landau gauge in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory up to three loops. We present a systematic strategy which allows to extract with sufficient precision the non-logarithmic parts of logarithmically divergent quantities as a function of the propagator momentum squared in the infinite-volume and a → 0 limits. We find a...
متن کاملKugo – Ojima Confinement Criterion , Zwanziger – Gribov Horizon Condition , and Infrared Critical Exponents in Landau Gauge Qcd
The Kugo–Ojima confinement criterion and its relation to the infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD are reviewed. The realization of this confinement criterion (which in Landau gauge relates to Zwanziger's horizon condition) results from quite general properties of the ghost Dyson– Schwinger equation. The numerical solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators...
متن کاملGribov Copies in the Minimal Landau Gauge: the Influence on Gluon and Ghost Propagators
We study the influence of Gribov copies on gluon and ghost propagators, evaluated numerically in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the minimal Landau gauge. Simulations are done at four different values of β (namely β = 0, 0.8, 1.6 and 2.7 ) and for volumes up to 164 (up to 244 at β = 1.6). For the gluon propagator, Gribov noise seems to be of the order of magnitude of the numerical accuracy, ...
متن کاملHow to extract information from Green’s functions in Landau gauge
The infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators offers a crucial test of confinement scenarios in Yang-Mills theories. A nonperturbative study of these propagators from first principles is possible in lattice simulations, but one must consider significantly large lattice sizes in order to approach the infrared limit. We propose constraints based on general properties of the propagators to ...
متن کاملCoupling Constant and Confinement in Minimal Coulomb and Landau Gauges
We present a numerical study of the space-space and time-time components of the gluon propagator at equal time in the minimal Coulomb gauge, and of the gluon and ghost propagators in the minimal Landau gauge. This work allows a non-perturbative evaluation of the running coupling constant and a numerical check of Gribov’s confinement scenarios for these two gauges. Our simulations are done in pu...
