In previous work by M. A. L. Capri, A. J. Gomez, M. S. Guimaraes, V. E. R. Lemes, S. P. Sorella, and D. G. Tedesco [Phys. Rev. D 82, 105019 (2010)], we have shown that the soft breaking of the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) symmetry arising within the Gribov-Zwanziger framework can be converted into a linear breaking, while preserving the nilpotency of the BRST operator. Because of its compatibility with the quantum action principle, the linearly broken BRST symmetry directly translates into a set of Slavnov-Taylor identities. We show that these identities guarantee the multiplicative renormalizability of both Gribov-Zwanziger and refined Gribov-Zwanziger theories to all orders. The known property that only two renormalization factors are needed is recovered. The nonrenormalization theorem of the gluon-ghost-antighost vertex, as well as the renormalization factor of the Gribov parameter, are derived within the linearly broken formulation.
