Gluon confinement and the two IR solutions    [PDF]

Felipe J. Llanes-Estrada, Carlos Hidalgo-Duque, Richard Williams

We examine the two solutions (massive and scaling) for the covariant Yang-Mills Dyson-Schwinger equations within stochastic quantization, and find that the scaling solution does not survive outside Landau gauge. We also see that the (rainbow) massive solution has less Faddeev-Popov effective action. Finally, we argue that gluon confinement has only been marginally established in experiment and suggest further empirical work.
