Introduction(1) Lattice20082 Confinement Quarks and gluons are basic quantities of QCD. In ultraviolet region, the perturbative QCD works well but in the confining region, some non- perturbative modes dominates hadron physics. Infrared physics of QCD: Confinement, Chiral symmetry breaking; these non-perturbative phenomena are deeply related to infrared singularities of QCD. Infrared (transverse) gluon propagators If confinement exists, one can expects that a transverse gluon propagator has an infinite mass, and will vanish in the IR limit. On the other hands, the ghost propagator diverges in the IR limit. We can find many lattice studies for these in many references; however, there are no distinctive signals, particularly for gluons.

Introduction(2) Lattice20083 Numerical difficulty : Finite volume size effect; the infrared physics requires large lattices. Gauge fixing computation on the large lattices is very hard, time- consuming simulations if we use the iterative gauge fixing. Conceptual difficulty: Lattice configuration can not be gauge-fixed uniquely due to Gribov ambiguity. We expect that the Gribov copy configuration will fade the infrared physics we are interested in. Gribov copy problem is not fully understood now. === Some difficulties for lattice calculations for gluons ===

Introduction(3) Lattice20084 Calculations of the gluon propagator in the stochastic quantization with the Coulomb gauge This method has some advantage: We do not use the iterative gauge fixing method. Gauge configurations go to the Gribov region automatically. Gauge parameter is easy to change. Measure of the transverse gluon propagators Transverse gluon propagator is a physical quantity. We expect that the gluon propagator in the infrared limit will be suppressed with an infinite effective masses. This means gluons are confining. === Aim in this study ===

Method(3) Lattice20087 === Conceptual reason for using SGF === Conceptual reason Gauge copy problem Gauge configurations not fixed completely on the non- perturbative lattice calculation Gauge fixing term of SGF 1.It makes gauge configurations go to the Gribov region. 2.This term works as an attractive driving force. 3.More effective approach

Method(4) Lattice20088 === Practical reason for using SGF === Practical reason For a gauge fixing, we don’t use any iterative methods and so there is no critical slowing down of this algorithm. It is a great advantage for large lattice simulation with gauge fixing. Changing a gauge parameter is easier than the iterative methods. Monte Carlo Steps ～ Monte Carlo Quantization ～ Gauge rotations ～ Stochastic Quantization ～ Langevin steps

Coulomb gauge QCD Lattice20089 === basic issues === Hamiltonian of Coulomb gauge QCD A transverse part makes a physics gluon field. A source term makes a color-Coulomb instantaneous (confining ) potential among quarks, causing by a singular eigenvalue of F.P. No negative norm : A physical interpretation is very clear.

Summary Lattice We try to calculate gluon propagators in the confinement region in the stochastic gauge fixing method with the Coulomb gauge. For this new calculation, we need more information and arguments. We find sign of an infrared suppression of gluon propagators. Larger physical volume ? We find that the infrared gluons are strongly affected by variation of alpha-gauge parameter. Why ? We need investigation of the lowest eigenvalue of FP operator, the relation of the sharp gauge, etc.
