Confinement interpretation in a Yang-Mills + Higgs theory when considering Gribov's ambiguity

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

This work presents concisely the results obtained from the analysis of the two-point function of the gauge field in the SU(2)SU(2) and SU(2)×U(1)SU(2)\times U(1) gauge theories, in the Landau gauge, coupled to a scalar Higgs field in the fundamental or adjoint representation. Non-perturbative effects are considered by taking into account the Gribov ambiguity. In general, in both Yang-Mills models the gluon propagator has non-trivial contributions of physical and non-physical modes, which clearly depends on the group representation of the Higgs field. These results were presented during the Fourth Winter Workshop on Non-perturbative Quantum Field Theory, which took place in Sophia-Antipolis - France.
