Description

The gluon propagator is studied in the Landau gauge in SU(3) lattice QCD at beta=5.7, 5.8 and 6.0 at the quenched level. Through the functional-form analysis of the gluon propagator obtained in lattice QCD, we find that the Landau-gauge gluon propagator is well described by the Yukawa-type function e^{-mr}/r with m=600MeV for r=0.1-1.0fm in the four-dimensional Euclidean space-time [1]. Associated with the Yukawa-type gluon propagator, we derive analytical expressions for the effective mass and the spectral function rho(omega) of the gluon field [1]. As a remarkable fact, the obtained gluon spectral function rho(omega) is almost negative definite, except for a positive delta-functional peak at omega=m. We also investigate the relevant gluonic energy scale for the effective gluon mass using the new lattice technique in Ref.[2]. References [1] T. Iritani, H. Suganuma and H. Iida, Phys. Rev.
