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

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/826954· OSTI ID:826954

We analyze 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 behavior controls the IR properties of the gluon and the ghost propagators.
