The transverse and longitudinal gluon propagators in the Landau gauge are studied in the two-color lattice QCD at nonzero quark chemical potential $mu_q$. Parameterization of the momentum dependence of the propagators is provided for all values of chemical potential under study. We find that the longitudinal propagator is infrared suppressed at nonzero $mu_q$ with suppression increasing with increasing $mu_q$. The transverse propagator dependence on $mu_q$ was found to be opposite: it is enhanced at large $mu_q$. It is found, respectively, that the electric screening mass is increasing while the magnetic screening mass is decreasing with increasing $mu_q$. Nice agreement between the electric screening mass computed from the longitudinal propagator and the Debye mass computed earlier from the singlet static quark-antiquark potential was found. We discuss how the dependence of the propagators on the chemical potential correlates with the respective dependence of the string tension. Additionally, we consider the difference between two propagators as a function of the momentum and make interesting observations.

In this paper we study thermodynamic properties of dense cold $SU(2)$ QCD within lattice simulation with dynamical rooted staggered quarks which in the continuum limit correspond to $N_f=2$ quark flavours. We calculate baryon density, renormalized chiral and diquark condensates for various baryon chemical potentials in the region $mu in (0,,2000)$ MeV. It is found, that in the region $mu in (0,,540)$ MeV the system is well described by the ChPT predictions. In the region $mu > 540$ MeV the system becomes sufficiently dense and ChPT is no longer applicable to describe lattice data. For chemical potentials $mu > 900$ MeV we observe formation of the Fermi sphere, and the system is similar to the one described by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory where the the diquarks play a role of Cooper pairs. In order to study how nonzero baryon density influences the gluon background we calculate chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields, as well as the topological susceptibility. We find that the chromoelectric field and the topological susceptibility decrease, whereas the chromomagnetic field increases with rising of baryon chemical potential. Finally we study the equation of state of dense two-color quark matter.
We study the ultraviolet behaviour of the ghost and gluon propagators in quenched QCD using lattice simulations. Extrapolation of the lattice data towards the continuum allows to use perturbation theory to extract $Lambda_{text{QCD}}$ - the fundamental parameter of the pure gauge theory. The values obtained from the ghost and gluon propagators are coherent. The result for pure gauge SU(3) at three loops is $Lambda_{ms}approx 320text{MeV}$. However this value does depend strongly upon the order of perturbation theory and upon the renormalisation description of the continuum propagators. Moreover, this value has been obtained without taking into account possible power corrections to the short-distance behaviour of correlation functions.
We present SU(3) gluon propagators calculated on 48*48*48*N_t lattices at beta=6.8 where N_t=64 (corresponding the confinement phase) and N_t=16 (deconfinement) with the bare gauge parameter,alpha, set to be 0.1. In order to avoid Gribov copies, we employ the stochastic gauge fixing algorithm. Gluon propagators show quite different behavior from those of massless gauge fields: (1) In the confinement phase, G(t) shows massless behavior at small and large t, while around 5<t<15 it behaves as massive particle, and (2) effective mass observed in G(z) becomes larger as z increases. (3) In the deconfinement phase, G(z) shows also massive behavior but effective mass is less than in the confinement case. In all cases, slope masses are increasing functions of t or z, which can not be understood as addtional physical poles.
The authors of ref. Phys.Rev. D94 (2016) no.1, 014502 reported about a careful analysis of the impact of lattice artifacts on the $SU(3)$ gauge-field propagators. In particular, they found that the low-momentum behavior of the renormalized propagators depends on the lattice bare coupling and interpreted this fact as the result of it being affected by finite lattice spacing artifacts. We do not share this interpretation and present here a different and more suitable explanation for these results.
QCD is expected to have a rich phase structure. It is empirically known to be difficult to access low temperature and nonzero chemical potential $mu$ regions in lattice QCD simulations. We address this issue in a lattice QCD with the use of a dimensional reduction formula of the fermion determinant. We investigate spectral properties of a reduced matrix of the reduction formula. Lattice simulations with different lattice sizes show that the eigenvalues of the reduced matrix follow a scaling law for the temporal size $N_t$. The properties of the fermion determinant are examined using the reduction formula. We find that as a consequence of the $N_t$ scaling law, the fermion determinant becomes insensitive to $mu$ as $T$ decreases, and $mu$-independent at T=0 for $mu<m_pi/2$. The $N_t$ scaling law provides two types of the low temperature limit of the fermion determinant: (i) for low density and (ii) for high-density. The fermion determinant becomes real and the theory is free from the sign problem in both cases. In case of (ii), QCD approaches to a theory, where quarks interact only in spatial directions, and gluons interact via the ordinary Yang-Mills action. The partition function becomes exactly $Z_3$ invariant even in the presence of dynamical quarks because of the absence of the temporal interaction of quarks. The reduction formula is also applied to the canonical formalism and Lee-Yang zero theorem. We find characteristic temperature dependences of the canonical distribution and of Lee-Yang zero trajectory. Using an assumption on the canonical partition function, we discuss physical meaning of those temperature dependences and show that the change of the canonical distribution and Lee-Yang zero trajectory are related to the existence/absence of $mu$-induced phase transitions.
