The Kugo-Ojima color confinement criterion, which is based on the BRST symmetry of the continuum QCD is numerically tested by the lattice Landau gauge simulation. We first discuss the Gribov copy problem and the BRST symmetry on the lattice. The lattice Landau gauge can be formulated with options of the gauge field definition, U(link)-linear type or log U type. The Kugo-Ojima parameter u^a_b which is expected to be -1^a_b in the continuum theory is found to be -0.7*1^a_b in the strong coupling region, and the magnitude is a little less in the weak coupling region in log U type simulation. Those values are weakened even further in U-linear type. The horizon function defined by Zwanziger is evaluated in both types of gauge field and compared. The horizon function in the log U version is larger than the other, but in the weak coupling region, the expectation value of the horizon function is suggested to be zero or negative.

We prove a lower bound for the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the Landau-gauge Faddeev-Popov matrix in Yang-Mills theories. The bound is written in terms of the smallest nonzero momentum on the lattice and of a parameter characterizing the geometry o f the first Gribov region. This allows a simple and intuitive description of the infinite-volume limit in the ghost sector. In particular, we show how nonperturbative effects may be quantified by the rate at which typical thermalized and gauge-fixed configurations approach the Gribov horizon. Our analytic results are verified numerically in the SU(2) case through an informal, free and easy, approach. This analysis provides the first concrete explanation of why the so-called scaling solution of the Dyson-Schwinger equations is not observed in lattice studies.
Lattice results for the gluon propagator in SU(2) pure gauge theory obtained on large lattices are presented. Simulated annealing is used throughout to fix the Landau gauge. We concentrate on checks for Gribov copy effects and for scaling properties. Our findings are similar to the ones in the SU(3) case, supporting the decoupling-type infrared behaviour of the gluon propagator.
We present numerical details of the evaluation of the so-called Bose-ghost propagator in lattice minimal Landau gauge, for the SU(2) case in four Euclidean dimensions. This quantity has been proposed as a carrier of the confining force in the Gribov- Zwanziger approach and, as such, its infrared behavior could be relevant for the understanding of color confinement in Yang-Mills theories. Also, its nonzero value can be interpreted as direct evidence of BRST-symmetry breaking, which is induced when restricting the functional measure to the first Gribov region Omega. Our simulations are done for lattice volumes up to 120^4 and for physical lattice extents up to 13.5 fm. We investigate the infinite-volume and continuum limits.
Following a recent proposal by Cooper and Zwanziger we investigate via $SU(2)$ lattice simulations the effect on the Coulomb gauge propagators and on the Gribov-Zwanziger confinement mechanism of selecting the Gribov copy with the smallest non-trivia l eigenvalue of the Faddeev-Popov operator, i.e.~the one closest to the Gribov horizon. Although such choice of gauge drives the ghost propagator towards the prediction of continuum calculations, we find that it actually overshoots the goal. With increasing computer time, we observe that Gribov copies with arbitrarily small eigenvalues can be found. For such a method to work one would therefore need further restrictions on the gauge condition to isolate the physically relevant copies, since e.g.~the Coulomb potential $V_C$ defined through the Faddeev-Popov operator becomes otherwise physically meaningless. Interestingly, the Coulomb potential alternatively defined through temporal link correlators is only marginally affected by the smallness of the eigenvalues.
It is believed that the two-dimensional massless $mathcal{N}=2$ Wess--Zumino model becomes the $mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) in the infrared (IR) limit. We examine this theoretical conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg (LG) descripti on of the $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT by numerical simulations on the basis of a supersymmetric-invariant momentum-cutoff regularization. We study a single supermultiplet with cubic and quartic superpotentials. From two-point correlation functions in the IR region, we measure the scaling dimension and the central charge, which are consistent with the conjectured LG description of the $A_2$ and $A_3$ minimal models, respectively. Our result supports the theoretical conjecture and, at the same time, indicates a possible computational method of correlation functions in the $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT from the LG description.
