Abstract:
The infrared limit of the lattice Landau gauge gluon propagator is studied. We show that the lattice data is compatible with the pure power law (q2)2κ(q^2)^{2 \kappa} solution of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. Using various lattice volumes, the infinite volume limit for the exponent κ\kappa is measured. Although, the results allow κ=0.4980.525\kappa = 0.498 - 0.525, the lattice data favours κ0.52\kappa \sim 0.52, which would imply a vanishing zero momentum gluon propagator.
