In the Curci-Ferrari model, the non-Abelian Casimir energy between magnetic-conductor plates is 3/2 times that for electric-conductor plates, and the massless limit is discontinuous (vDVZ-like), with the same pattern in 2+1D with factor 2.

abstract
We show that the correlation functions of ghosts and gluons for the pure Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge can be accurately reproduced for all momenta by a one-loop calculation. The key point is to use a massive extension of the Faddeev-Popov action. The agreement with lattice simulation is excellent in d=4. The one-loop calculation also reproduces all the characteristic features of the lattice simulations in d=3 and naturally explains the pecularities of the propagators in d=2.

Non-Abelian Casimir energy in the Curci-Ferrari model through a functional approach
In the Curci-Ferrari model, the non-Abelian Casimir energy between magnetic-conductor plates is 3/2 times that for electric-conductor plates, and the massless limit is discontinuous (vDVZ-like), with the same pattern in 2+1D with factor 2.
