Lattice gauge-fixing for generic covariant gauges

Abstract

We propose a method which allows the generalization of the Landau lattice gauge-fixing procedure to generic covariant gauges. We report preliminary numerical results showing how the procedure works for $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$. We also report numerical results showing that the contribution of finite lattice-spacing effects and/or spurious copies are relevant in the lattice gauge-fixing procedure.
