In the Gribov-Zwanziger framework, the thermal quark spectral function obeys new sum rules and exhibits a coupling-driven transition from three poles to a single pole, with the thermal mass vanishing at a critical coupling g* roughly 4.56.

abstract
We present explicit numerical evidence of reflection-positivity violation for the lattice Landau gluon propagator in three-dimensional pure SU(2) gauge theory. We use data obtained at very large lattice volumes (V = 80^3, 140^3) and for three different lattice couplings in the scaling region (beta = 4.2, 5.0, 6.0). In particular, we observe a clear oscillatory pattern in the real-space propagator C(t). We also verify that the (real-space) data show good scaling in the range t \in [0,3] fm and can be fitted using a Gribov-like form. The violation of positivity is in contradiction with a stable-particle interpretation of the associated field theory and may be viewed as a manifestation of confinement.

Spectral sum rules and phase transition in strongly coupled QCD
In the Gribov-Zwanziger framework, the thermal quark spectral function obeys new sum rules and exhibits a coupling-driven transition from three poles to a single pole, with the thermal mass vanishing at a critical coupling g* roughly 4.56.
