The non-perturbative groundstate of Q.C.D and the local composite operator A_mu^2

arXiv:hep-th/0105018 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(01)00929-7

Abstract

We investigate the possibility that the dimension 2 condensate A_mu^2 has a non zero non-perturbative value in Yang-Mills theory. We introduce a multiplicatively renormalisable effective potential for this condensate and show through two loop calculations that a non zero condensate is energetically favoured.
