A first look at Landau-gauge propagators in G2 Yang-Mills theory

Maas, Axel, Olejnik, Stefan

Understand

G_2 Yang--Mills theory is an interesting laboratory to investigate non-perturbative effects.

  • On one hand, no conventional quark confinement via a linearly rising potential is present.
  • On the other hand, its thermodynamic properties are similar to ordinary SU(N) Yang--Mills theory.
  • Finally, it has been conjectured that gluons are removed from the physical spectrum in the same way as in SU(N) Yang--Mills theory.
