RT Journal Article T1 Vertex functions and infrared fixed point in Landau gauge SU(N) Yang-Mills theory A1 Llanes Estrada, Felipe José A1 Alkofer, R A1 Fischer, CS AB The infrared behaviour of vertex functions in an SU(N) Yang Mills theory in Landau gauge is investigated employing a skeleton expansion of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. The three- and four-gluon vertices become singular if and only if all external momenta vanish while the dressing of the ghost gluon vertex remains finite in this limit. The running coupling as extracted from either of these vertex functions possesses an infrared fixed point. In general, diagrams including ghost-loops dominate in the infrared over purely gluonic ones PB Elsevier Science Bv SN 0370-2693 YR 2005 FD 2005-04-07 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50849 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50849 LA eng NO ©2005 Elsevier B.V.
