Gribov copies, Lattice QCD and the gluon propagator
We address the problem of Gribov copies in lattice QCD. The gluon propagator
is computed, in the Landau gauge, using 302 ()
configurations gauge fixed to different copies. The results of the simulation
shows that: i) the effect of Gribov copies is small (less than 10%); ii) Gribov
copies change essentially the lowest momenta components ( GeV); iii)
within the statistical accuracy of our simulation, the effect of Gribov copies
is resolved if statistical errors are multiplied by a factor of two or three.
Moreover, when modelling the gluon propagator, different sets of Gribov copies
produce different sets of parameters not, necessarily, compatible within one
standard deviation. Finally, our data supports a gluon propagator which, for
large momenta, behaves like a massive gluon propagator with a mass of 1.1 GeV
The Infrared Landau Gauge Gluon Propagator from Lattice QCD
The quenched Landau gauge gluon propagator is investigated in lattice QCD
with large assimetric lattices, accessing momenta as low as MeV or
smaller. Our investigation focus on the IR limit of the gluon dressing
function, testing the compatibility with recent solutions of the
Dyson-Schwinger equations. In particular, the low energy parameters
and are measured.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure. Talk given at Quark Confinement and the Hadron

Towards the continuum limit of the lattice Landau gauge gluon propagator
The infrared behaviour of the lattice Landau gauge gluon propagator is
discussed, combining results from simulations with different volumes and
lattice spacings. In particular, the Cucchieri-Mendes bounds are computed and
their implications for D(0) discussed.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures. Talk given at "Quark Confinement and the Hadron
