Dyson–Schwinger equations: a tool for hadron physics

P Maris, CD Roberts - International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2003 - World Scientific

Constraints on the infrared behavior of the gluon propagator in Yang-Mills theories

A Cucchieri, T Mendes - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We present rigorous upper and lower bounds for the zero-momentum gluon propagator D

Nonperturbative propagators, running coupling, and the dynamical quark mass of Landau gauge QCD

CS Fischer, R Alkofer - Physical Review D, 2003 - APS
The coupled system of renormalized Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark, gluon, and
ghost propagators of the Landau gauge QCD is solved within truncation schemes. These …

Lattice simulations of the QCD correlation functions in the Landau gauge have established
two remarkable facts. First, the coupling constant in the gauge sector—defined, eg, in the …

Infrared exponent for gluon and ghost propagation in Landau gauge QCD

C Lerche, L von Smekal - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
In the covariant description of confinement, one expects the ghost correlations to be infrared
