Title in Portuguese
QCD na rede: um estudo não-perturbativo no calibre de Feynman
Keywords in Portuguese
Calibre covariante linear
Fixação de calibre
Monte Carlo
Propagador de glúons
Teoria de calibre na rede
Abstract in Portuguese
O comportamento infra-vermelho dos propagadores de glúons e de ghosts é de fundamental importância para o entendimento do limite de baixas energias da cromodinâmica quântica (QCD), especialmente no que diz respeito ao problema do confinamento de quarks e de glúons. O objetivo desta tese é implementar um novo método para o estudo do propagador de glúons no calibre covariante linear para a QCD na rede. Em particular, analisamos em detalhe a nova implementação proposta e estudamos os algoritmos para fixação numérica deste calibre. Note que a fixação numérica da condição de calibre de Feynman apresenta vários problemas não encontrados nos casos de Landau e de Coulomb, o que impossibilitou por longo tempo o seu estudo adequado. De fato, a definição considerada inicialmente, por Giusti et. al., é de difícil implementação numérica e introduz condições espúrias na fixação de calibre. Como consequência, os únicos estudos efetuados anteriormente referem-se aos propagadores de glúons e de quarks em redes relativamente pequenas, não permitindo uma análise cuidadosa do limite infra-vemelho da QCD neste calibre. A obtenção de novas soluções para a implementação do calibre de Feynman na rede é portanto de grande importância para viabilizar estudos numéricos mais sistemáticos dos propagadores e dos vértices neste calibre e, em geral, no calibre covariante linear.

Abstract in English
The infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators is of fundamental importance for the understanding of the low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), especially with respect to the problem of the confinement of quarks and gluons. The goal of this thesis is to implement a new method to study the gluon propagator in the linear covariant gauge in lattice QCD. In particular, we analyze in detail the newly proposed implementation and study the algorithms for numerically fixing this gauge. Note that the numerical fixing of the Feynman gauge condition poses several problems that are not present in the Landau and Coulomb cases, which prevented it from being properly studied for a long time. In fact, the definition considered initially, by Giusti et. al., is of difficult numerical implementation and introduces spurious conditions into the gauge fixing. As a consequence, the only studies carried out previously involved gluon and quark propagators on relatively small lattices, hindering a careful analysis of the infrared limit of QCD in this gauge. Obtaining new solutions for the implementation of the Feynman gauge on the lattice is therefore of great importance to enable more systematic numerical studies of propagators and vertices in this gauge and, in general, in the linear covariant gauge.
