Gauge theory correlators are potentially more singular in the infrared than those in non-gauge theories. We determine the implications that these singularities have on the spectrum of the theory, proving that the appearance of generalised poles implies the existence of on-shell states with fixed mass, but zero norm. For quantum chromodynamics these poles have direct relevance for the confinement of coloured states. Using lattice data for the Landau gauge gluon propagator we subsequently test for the presence of these poles, establishing that the data is indeed consistent with such a component.

  1. The setting sun diagram with complex external momenta

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Direct evaluation of the d=2 setting sun diagram with a priori complex external momenta disagrees with the Kallen-Lehmann spectral continuation, so complex momenta should be inserted only after performing the integral.

    A pedagogical review showing how Dyson-Schwinger, 3PI, and Bethe-Salpeter equations can be chained together to compute glueball masses in pure Yang-Mills theory, matching lattice QCD.
