The ghost propagator and the Coulomb potential are evaluated in Coulomb gauge on the lattice, using an improved gauge fixing scheme which includes the residual symmetry. This setting has been shown to be essential in order to explain the scaling violations in the instantaneous gluon propagator. We find that both the ghost propagator and the Coulomb potential are insensitive to the Gribov problem or the details of the residual gauge fixing, even if the Coulomb potential is evaluated from the A0--propagator instead of the Coulomb kernel. In particular, no signs of scaling violations could be found in either quantity, at least to well below the numerical accuracy where these violations were visible for the gluon propagator. The Coulomb potential from the A0-propagator is shown to be in qualitative agreement with the (formally equivalent) expression evaluated from the Coulomb kernel.

We calculate the Coulomb ghost propagator G(|p|) and the static Coulomb potential V_C(|r|) for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. In view of possible scaling violations related to deviations from the Hamiltonian limit we use anisotropic lattices to improve the temporal resolution. We find that the ghost propagator is infrared enhanced with an exponent kappa_gh ~ 0.5 while the Coulomb potential exhibits a string tension larger than the Wilson string tension, sigma_C ~ 2 sigma. This agrees with the Coulomb scaling scenario derived from the Gribov-Zwanziger confinement mechanism.
We investigate the equal-time (static) quark propagator in Coulomb gauge within the Hamiltonian approach to QCD. We use a non-Gaussian vacuum wave functional which includes the coupling of the quarks to the spatial gluons. The expectation value of the QCD Hamiltonian is expressed by the variational kernels of the vacuum wave functional by using the canonical recursive Dyson--Schwinger equations (CRDSEs) derived previously. Assuming the Gribov formula for the gluon energy we solve the CRDSE for the quark propagator in the bare-vertex approximation together with the variational equations of the quark sector. Within our approximation the quark propagator is fairly insensitive to the coupling to the spatial gluons and its infrared behaviour is exclusively determined by the strongly infrared diverging instantaneous colour Coulomb potential.
We calculate the lattice quark propagator in Coulomb gauge both from dynamical and quenched configurations. We show that in the continuum limit both the static and full quark propagator are multiplicatively renormalizable. From the propagator we extract the quark renormalization function Z(|p|) and the running mass M(|p|) and extrapolate the latter to the chiral limit. We find that M(|p|) practically coincides with the corresponding Landau gauge function for small momenta. The computation of M(|p|) can be however made more efficient in Coulomb gauge; this can lead to a better determination of the chiral mass and the quark anomalous dimension. Moreover from the structure of the full propagator we can read off an expression for the dispersion relation of quarks, compatible with an IR divergent effective energy. If confirmed on larger volumes this finding would allow to extend the Gribov-Zwanziger confinement mechanism to the fermionic sector of QCD.
The Dirac equation in $mathbb{R}^{1,3}$ with potential Z/r is a relativistic field equation modeling the hydrogen atom. We analyze the singularity structure of the propagator for this equation, showing that the singularities of the Schwartz kernel of the propagator are along an expanding spherical wave away from rays that miss the potential singularity at the origin, but also may include an additional spherical wave of diffracted singularities emanating from the origin. This diffracted wavefront is 1-0 derivatives smoother than the main singularities and is a conormal singularity.
We review our lattice results concerning the Gribov-Zwanziger confinement mechanism in Coulomb gauge. In particular, we verify the validity of Gribovs IR divergence condition for the Coulomb ghost form factor. We also show how the quark self-energy is, like that of the transverse gluon, IR divergent, thus effectively extending the Gribov-Zwanziger scenario to full QCD.
