The infrared fixed point of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory
Abstract
Over the last decade, the infrared behavior of Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge has been scrutinized with the help of Dyson-Schwinger equations and lattice calculations. In this contribution, we describe a technically simple approach to the deep infrared regime via Callan-Symanzik renormalization group equations in an epsilon expansion. This approach recovers, in an analytical and systematically improvable way, all the solutions previously found as solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equations and singles out the solution favored by lattice calculations as the infrared-stable fixed point (for space-time dimensions above two).
