Two-point functions of quenched lattice QCD in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. (II) The gluon propagator in Landau gauge

Abstract

This is the second of two papers devoted to the perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Such a computation should enable a comparison with results from lattice simulations in order to reveal the genuinely non-perturbative content of the latter. The gluon propagator is computed by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory: results range from two up to four loops, depending on the different lattice sizes. The non-logarithmic constants for one, two and three loops are extrapolated to the lattice spacing $a\to 0$ continuum and infinite volume $V\to \infty$ limits.
