Gauge Sector Dynamics in QCD

The dynamics of the QCD gauge sector give rise to non-perturbative phenomena that are crucial for the internal consistency of the theory; most notably, they account for the generation of a gluon mass through the action of the Schwinger mechanism, the taming of the Landau pole, the ensuing stabilization of the gauge coupling, and the infrared suppression of the three-gluon vertex. In the present work, we review some key advances in the ongoing investigation of this sector within the framework of the continuum Schwinger function methods, supplemented by results obtained from lattice simulations.

Automated summary

In this work, we review some significant progress in the investigation of the QCD gauge sector using the continuum Schwinger function methods and lattice simulations. These non-perturbative phenomena, such as the generation of a gluon mass, taming of the Landau pole, stabilization of the gauge coupling, and infrared suppression of the three-gluon vertex, play a crucial role in maintaining the internal consistency of the theory.
