From propagators to glueballs in the Gribov-Zwanziger framework
Over the last years, lattice calculations in pure Yang-Mills gauge theory
seem to have come more or less to a consensus. The ghost propagator is not
enhanced and the gluon propagator is positivity violating, infrared suppressed
and non-vanishing at zero momentum. From an analytical point of view, several
groups are agreeing with these results. Among them, the refined
Gribov-Zwanziger (RGZ) framework also accommodates for these results. The
question which rises next is, if our models hold the right form for the
propagators, how to extract information on the real physical observables, i.e.
the glueballs? How do the operators which represent glueballs look like? We
review the current status of this matter within the RGZ framework.Comment: 3 pages, Conference contribution for Confinement IX, Madrid 2010
