LATTICE GAUGE-FIXING FOR GENERIC COVARIANT GAUGES

摘要

We propose a method which allows the generalization of the Landau lattice gauge-fixing procedure to generic covariant gauges. We report preliminary numerical results showing how the procedure works for SU(2) and SU(3). We also report numerical results showing that the contribution of finite lattice-spacing effects and/or spurious copies are relevant in the lattice gauge-fixing procedure.
