Gauge copies and the fate of background independence in Yang-Mills theories: a leading order analysis
arXiv:2008.09031 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.074029
Abstract
In this work we investigate the effects of the Gribov prescription to get rid of zero-modes of the Faddeev-Popov operator, at one-loop order in perturbation theory, in the Landau-DeWitt gauge. Quantum fluctuations are taken around a transverse background gauge field. The one-loop effective action is explicitly computed, and the behavior of the gauge and ghost fields propagators are carefully investigated. At one-loop and for generic transverse background configurations the effective action is found to be \textit{not} background invariant, as expected, due to a non-vanishing background contribution. The gauge field propagator has the same form as in the case {where the} background is a trivial field, with complex conjugate poles, which are modified by the corresponding gap equation. The ghost-anti-ghost propagator still displays its enhanced behavior.
