On the Yang-Mills wave functional in Coulomb gauge
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the dependence of the Yang-Mills wave functional in Coulomb gauge on the Faddeev-Popov determinant. We use a Gaussian wave functional multiplied by an arbitrary power of the Faddeev-Popov determinant. We show, that within the resummation of one-loop diagrams the stationary vacuum energy is independent of the power of the Faddeev-Popov determinant and, furthermore, the wave functional becomes fieldindependent in the infrared, describing a stochastic vacuum. Our investigations show, that the infrared limit is rather robust against details of the variational ansätze for the Yang-Mills wave functional. The infrared limit is exclusively determined by the divergence of the Faddeev-Popov determinant at the Gribov horizon. pacs: 11.10Ef, 12.38Aw, 12.38 Cy, 12.38 Lg

Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge
Recent results obtained within the Hamiltonian approach to continuum Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge are reviewed. INTRODUCTION There have been many attempts in the past to solve the Yang-Mills Schrödinger equation using gauge invariant wave functionals. Unfortunately, all these approaches have not been blessed with much success2. The reason is that it is extremely difficult to work with gau...
متن کاملHamiltonian approach to Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills Theory
The vacuum wave functional of Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory is determined within the vari-ational principle and used to calculate various Green functions and observables. The results show that heavy quarks are confined by a linearly rising potential and gluons cannot propagate over large distances. The 't Hooft loop shows a perimeter law and thus also indicates confinement.
متن کاملSlavnov-Taylor Identities in Coulomb Gauge Yang-Mills Theory
Two aspects of the color charge in Coulomb gauge continuum Yang–Mills theory are discussed. The first aspect is the existence of a conserved and vanishing total charge exhibited within the first order functional formalism. The second aspect is the closure of the set of Slavnov–Taylor identities in the second order functional formalism, such that the exact solution for temporal Green’s functions...
متن کاملStructure of the Yang - Mills Vacuum in Coulomb Gauge
The non-uniqueness of Yang-Mills potentials in the Coulomb gauge leads to a non-trivial vacuum structure featuring vacuum fields of both integer and half-integer topological charge. Instantons fit in consistently with this picture and their interpretation is not changed. Integer and half-integer vacua are connected by certain meron solutions and the existence of half-integer charged states appe...
متن کاملRecent results from the Hamiltonian approach to Yang–Mills theory in Coulomb gauge
Within the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge the ghost and gluon propagators are determined from a variational solution of the Yang–Mills Schrödinger equation showing both gluon and heavy quark confinement. The continuum results are in good agreement with lattice data. The ghost form factor is identified as the dielectric function of the Yang–Mills vacuum and the Gribov...
