RT Journal Article T1 On the massive gluon propagator, the PT-BFM scheme and the low-momentum behaviour of decoupling and scaling DSE solutions A1 Rodríguez Quintero, José AB We study the low-momentum behaviour of Yang-Mills propagators obtainedfrom Landau-gauge Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSE) in the PT-BFM scheme. We comparethe ghost propagator numerical results with the analytical ones obtained by analyzingthe low-momentum behaviour of the ghost propagator DSE in Landau gauge, assuming forthe truncation a constant ghost-gluon vertex and a simple model for a massive gluon propagator.The asymptotic expression obtained for the regular or decoupling ghost dressingfunction up to the order O(q2) is proven to fit pretty well the numerical PT-BFM results.Furthermore, when the size of the coupling renormalized at some scale approaches somecritical value, the numerical PT-BFM propagators tend to behave as the scaling ones. Wealso show that the scaling solution, implying a diverging ghost dressing function, cannotbe a DSE solution in the PT-BFM scheme but an unattainable limiting case.
