On the infrared behaviour of QCD Green functions in the Maximally Abelian gauge

Reinhard Alkofer, Markus Q. Huber, Valentin Mader +1

Functional equations like exact renormalisation group and Dyson-Schwinger equations have contributed to a better understanding of non-perturbative phenomena in quantum field theori…

Ghost-gluon and ghost-quark bound states and their role in BRST quartets

Natalia Alkofer, Reinhard Alkofer

A non-perturbative version of the BRST quartet mechanism in infrared Landau gauge QCD is proposed for transverse gluons and quarks. Based on the positivity violation for transverse…

Infrared scaling solutions beyond the Landau gauge: The maximally Abelian gauge and Abelian infrared dominance

Markus Q. Huber, Reinhard Alkofer, Kai Schwenzer

Functional equations like exact renormalization group and Dyson-Schwinger equations have contributed to a better understanding of non-perturbative phenomena in quantum field theori…

On Confinement, Chiral Symmetry Breaking, and the UA(1) anomaly in Functional Approaches

Reinhard Alkofer

The so-called decoupling and scaling solutions of functional equations of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory are briefly reviewed. In both types of solutions the positivity violation s…

The non-perturbative BRST quartets generated by transverse gluons or quarks in Landau gauge

Natalia Alkofer, Reinhard Alkofer

The BRST quartet mechanism is briefly reviewed. A special emphasis is given to the distinction of perturbative versus non-perturbative quartets. The field contents of the non-pertu…

Features of ghost-gluon and ghost-quark bound states related to BRST quartets

Natalia Alkofer, Reinhard Alkofer

The BRST quartet mechanism in infrared Landau gauge QCD is investigated. Based on the observed positivity violation for transverse gluons the field content of th…

Panel discussion: What {\it don't} we know about confinement?

R. Alkofer, D. Diakonov, J. Pawlowski +4

The participants in this discussion session of the QCHS 9 meeting were each asked the following question: "What would be the most useful piece of information that you could obtain,…
