Physics of the gluon mass gap

Mauricio N. Ferreira, Joannis Papavassiliou, Jan M. Pawlowski +1

It has long been known that the gluon propagator in Landau-gauge QCD exhibits a mass gap; and its emergence has been ascribed to the action of the Schwinger mechanism in the gauge…

Juggling with Tensor Bases in Functional Approaches

Jens Braun, Andreas Geißel, Jan M. Pawlowski +2

Systematic expansion schemes in functional approaches require the inclusion of higher order vertices. These vertices are expanded in independent tensor bases with a rapidly increas…

Towards quantitative precision in functional QCD I

Friederike Ihssen, Jan M. Pawlowski, Franz R. Sattler +1

Functional approaches are the only first principle QCD setup that allow for direct computations at finite density. Predictive power and quantitative reliability of the respective r…

Lattice QCD estimates of thermal photon production from the QGP

Sajid Ali, Dibyendu Bala, Anthony Francis +5

Thermal photons produced in heavy-ion collision experiments are an important observable for understanding quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The thermal photon rate from the QGP at a given…

Bound states from the spectral Bethe-Salpeter equation

Gernot Eichmann, Andrés Gómez, Jan Horak +3

We compute the bound state properties of three-dimensional scalar theory in the broken phase. To this end, we extend the recently developed technique of spectral Dyson-Schwin…

Towards quantitative precision for QCD at large densities

Friederike Ihssen, Jan M. Pawlowski, Franz R. Sattler +1

QCD at large density reveals a rich phase structure, ranging from a potential critical end point and inhomogeneous phases or moat regimes to color superconducting ones with competi…

Non-perturbative strong coupling at timelike momenta

Jan Horak, Jan M. Pawlowski, Jonas Turnwald +3

We compute the strong coupling constant of Landau gauge QCD in the full complex momentum plane, both directly and via spectral reconstruction. In particular, we consider the Taylor…

Yang-Mills glueball masses from spectral reconstruction

Jan M. Pawlowski, Coralie S. Schneider, Jonas Turnwald +2

We compute masses of the two lightest glueballs from spectral reconstructions of timelike interaction channels of the four-gluon vertex in Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory. The Eucli…
