Does the lattice zero-momentum gluon propagator for pure-gauge SU(3) Yang-Mills theory vanish in the infinite-volume limit?

Journal Article Oliveira, O ; Silva, P J ; CFC, Departamento de Fisica, Universidade de Coimbra, Rua Larga, 3004-516 Coimbra, Portugal and School of Physics, University of Edinburgh, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JZ - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The Cucchieri-Mendes bounds for the gluon propagator are discussed for the four dimensional pure-gauge SU(3) theory. Assuming a pure power law dependence on the inverse of the lattice volume, the lattice data gives a vanishing zero-momentum gluon propagator in the infinite-volume limit in agreement with the Gribov-Zwanziger horizon condition but contradicting the SU(2) analysis. The results are robust against variations of the lattice volumes and corrections to the power law. Our analysis considers also more general ansatze that, although not conclusive, open the possibility of having D(0){ne}0 in the infinite-volume limit. A solution to this puzzle requires further investigations.

Class of very simple gauge theories which remain renormalizable even in the limit of infinite gauge coupling constant

Journal Article Kaptanoglu, S - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

A class of local gauge theories based on compact semisimple Lie groups is studied in the limit of infinite gauge coupling constant (g = infinity). In general, in this limit, the gauge fields become auxiliary in all gauge theories, and the system develops a richer structure of constraints. Unfortunately for most gauge theories, this limit turns out to be too singular to quantize and the theory ceases to be renormalizable. For a special class of gauge theories, however, where there are no fermions and there is only one multiplet of scalars in the adjoint representation, we prove that a consistentmore »« less

theta-term effect on the charge spectra of dyons associated with generalized magnetic monopoles and quarks as dyons in a spontaneously broken gauge theory

Journal Article Zhang, H - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

From the discussion of the relation between the electric charges of dyons and the vacuum angle theta, a formula for the charge spectra of dyons associated with generalized monopoles is obtained. The possibilities of quarks as dyons in a spontaneously broken gauge theory are discussed. If quarks are dyons in a spontaneously broken gauge theory with a nonvanishing vacuum angle theta, their electric charges will not be exactly fractionally quantized; instead, they will carry extra charges proportional to theta.
