The infrared behavior of the gluon and ghost propagators in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the maximal abelian gauge

Abstract: 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 superconductivity picture to explain color confinement. Two kinds of effects are taken into account: those arising from a treatment of Gribov copies in the MAG and those arising from a dynamical mass originating in a dimension two gluon condensate. The diagonal component of the gluon p… Show more

“…In this paper we focus on the gluon and ghost propagators in the maximal Abelian gauge [1,2,3], which we are investigating since several years [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. In our previous works we have provided analytical evidence of nonperturbative effects which should be taken into account when facing the various features displayed by this gauge, such as the dual superconductivity picture for color confinement [15] and the Abelian dominance hypothesis [16,17,18,19].…”

“…Most non-perturbative studies of the Yang-Mills propagators have been done in Landau gauge. Another covariant gauge, where in the last years progress has been gained, is the Maximally Abelian gauge (MAG) [7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. This gauge is especially appealing, since it allows to study the dual superconductor picture of the Yang-Mills vacuum.…”
