Gribov horizon and BRST symmetry: a pathway to confinement
We summarize the construction of the Gribov-Zwanziger action and how it leads
to a scenario which explains the confinement of gluons, in the sense that the
elementary gluon excitations violate positivity. Then we address the question
of how one can construct operators within this picture whose one-loop
correlation functions have the correct analytic properties in order to
correspond to physical excitations. For this we introduce the concept of
i-particles.Comment: 5 pages, proceedings of XII Mexican Workshop on Particles and Fields

Genetic control of traits related to phosphorus use efficiency in tropical maize.
Knowing the inheritance of traits is essential to establish selection strategies in breeding programs. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic control of traits related to the phosphorus use efficiency in maize. A total of 280 progenies were developed according to design III, which were evaluated in the field under high and low phosphorus (P) availability. The genetic variance components were estimated for the agronomic traits and indices that define P use efficiency. The results indicated that the additive and dominance effects were important in explaining the genetic variability for the flowering time, grain yield and P efficiency indices. However, dominance effects prevailed, indicating that breeding efforts should be made to develop hybrids exploiting the heterosis for traits related to P use efficiency

Gribov horizon and i-particles: about a toy model and the construction of physical operators
Restricting the functional integral to the Gribov region leads to a
deep modification of the behavior of Euclidean Yang-Mills theories in the
infrared region. For example, a gluon propagator of the Gribov type,
, can be viewed as a propagating pair of
unphysical modes, called here -particles, with complex masses . From this viewpoint, gluons are unphysical and one can see them as
being confined. We introduce a simple toy model describing how a suitable set
of composite operators can be constructed out of -particles whose
correlation functions exhibit only real branch cuts, with associated positive
spectral density. These composite operators can thus be called physical and are
the toy analogy of glueballs in the Gribov-Zwanziger theory.Comment: 35 pages, 10 .pdf figures. v2: version accepted for publication in
