abstract

We calculate the dressed gluon and ghost propagators of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory in the complex momentum plane from their Dyson-Schwinger equations. To this end, we develop techniques for a direct calculation such that no mathematically ill-posed inverse problem needs to be solved. We provide a detailed account of the employed ray technique and discuss a range of tools to monitor the stability of the numerical calculation. Within a truncation employing model ansaetze for the three-point vertices and neglecting effects due to four-point functions, we find a singularity in the gluon propagator in the second quadrant of the complex $p^2$-plane. Although the location of this singularity turns out to be strongly dependent on the model for the three-gluon vertex, it occurs always at complex momenta for the range of models considered.

  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.
