Lattice Gauge Fixing for Parameter Dependent Covariant Gauges

arXiv:hep-lat/9911038 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.63.014501

Abstract

We propose a non-perturbative procedure to fix generic covariant gauges on the lattice. Varying the gauge parameter, this gauge fixing provides a concrete method to check numerically the gauge dependence of correlators measured on the lattice. The new algorithm turns out to converge with a good efficiency. As a preliminary physical result, we find a sensitive dependence of the gluon propagator on the gauge parameter.
