20 Feb 2002 | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D65 (2002) 094008 | Subject: | hep-ph hep-lat hep-th nucl-th | Abstract: | We solve a truncated system of coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the gluon and ghost propagators in SU($N_c$) Yang-Mills theories in Faddeev-Popov quantization on a four-torus. This compact space-time manifold provides an efficient mean to solve the gluon and ghost Dyson-Schwinger equations without any angular approximations. We verify that analytically two power-like solutions in the very far infrared seem possible. However, only one of these solutions can be matched to a numerical solution for non-vanishing momenta. For a bare ghost-gluon vertex this implies that the gluon propagator is only weakly infrared vanishing, $D_{gl}(k^2) propto (k^2)^{2kappa -1}$, $kappa approx 0.595$, and the ghost propagator is infrared singular, $D_{gh}(k^2) propto (k^2)^{-kappa -1}$. For non-vanishing momenta our solutions are in agreement with the results of recent SU(2) Monte-Carlo lattice calculations. The running coupling possesses an infrared fixed point. We obtain $alpha(0) = 8.92/N_c$ for all gauge groups SU($N_c$). Above one GeV the running coupling rapidly approaches its perturbative form. | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0202195 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
