Coulomb gauge gluon propagator on anisotropic lattices

Abstract

We calculate the transverse and the time-time components of the Coulomb-gauge gluon propagator in SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills theory both on isotropic and anisotropic lattices. The problem of scaling violation observed on the isotropic lattice is drastically reduced as the anisotropy increases; namely, the system approaches the Hamiltonian limit. In the infrared region, the transverse gluon propagator exhibits a turnover and the temporal gluon propagator shows divergent behavior.
