We present a local setup for the recently introduced BRST-invariant formulation of Yang-Mills theories for linear covariant gauges that takes into account the existence of gauge copies \`a la Gribov and Zwanziger. Through the convenient use of auxiliary fields, including one of the Stueckelberg type, it is shown that both the action and the associated nilpotent BRST operator can be put in local form. Direct consequences of this fully local and BRST-symmetric framework are drawn from its Ward identities: (i) an exact prediction for the longitudinal part of the gluon propagator in linear covariant gauges that is compatible with recent lattice results and (ii) a proof of the gauge-parameter independence of all correlation functions of local BRST-invariant operators.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first Gribov horizon of a transverse gauge background equals the first appearance of −1 in the spectrum of a normalized Birman-Schwinger operator, via an inertia-preserving congruence rather than a similarity.

    For the SU(2) hedgehog with h=9gr/(r^3+1)^2, the reduced Faddeev-Popov operator is positive exactly for -2<g<1, with normalizable threshold zero modes at both endpoints.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In 3D Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons-Higgs theory the Gribov parameter fixed via gap equation reveals a confining phase with complex poles and a deconfined phase with physical gluon excitations.

  5. A regulated zero-temperature construction of the Fundamental Modular Region in pure Yang--Mills theory and QCD

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The Fundamental Modular Region is reformulated as the β→∞ limit of a Gibbs measure over Gribov copies, with O(1/β) convergence controlled by the inverse Faddeev–Popov operator.
