摘要:The SU(2) gluon propagator in Landau gauge is studied on the lattice. Our gauge fixing procedure
employs simulated annealing and Z(2)-flips. It finds higher maxima of the gauge functional
compared with those obtained with the standard overrelaxation and leads to systematic deviations
of the gluon propagator in the infrared region. In particular, finite-size effects for lattice sizes
from (1.7 fm)4 up to (6.5 fm)4 become weak. The propagator shows a plateau at p ≈ 300 MeV.
