On the Landau Background Gauge Fixing and the IR Properties of YM Green Functions

arXiv:hep-th/0405104 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.105014

Abstract

We analyse the complete algebraic structure of the background field method for Yang--Mills theory in the Landau gauge and show several structural simplifications within this approach. In particular we present a new way to study the IR behavior of Green functions in the Landau gauge and show that there exists a unique Green function whose IR behaviour controls the IR properties of the gluon and the ghost propagators.
