We compute the strong coupling constant of Landau gauge QCD in the full complex momentum plane, both directly and via spectral reconstruction. In particular, we consider the Taylor coupling given by the product of ghost and gluon dressing functions. Assuming spectral representations for the latter, we first show that also the coupling obeys such a representation. The subsequent spectral reconstruction of the coupling data, obtained from 2+1 flavour lattice QCD results for the ghost and gluon, is based on a probabilistic inversion of this representation using Gaussian process regression with analytically enforced asymptotics. In contradistinction, our direct calculation relies on earlier reconstruction results for the ghost and gluon spectral functions themselves, as well as data obtained in functional QCD. Apart from its relevance for studies of resonances or scattering processes, the calculation also serves as a non-trivial benchmark of our reconstruction approach. The results show remarkable agreement, testifying to the reliability of the method.

  1. The QCD moat regime and its real-time properties

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A first computation of the pion spectral function in the QCD moat regime reveals a quasiparticle peak at nonzero spacelike momentum, the moaton, and indicates no instability toward inhomogeneous chiral condensation fo...

  2. The causal structure of the quark propagator

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a spectral DSE computation, the quark propagator develops complex-conjugate poles when the classical quark-gluon vertex strength exceeds a critical value, while the full QCD strength is predicted to stay below that value.

  3. Asymptotic gauge symmetry and UV extension of the nonperturbative coupling in holographic QCD

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A holographic effective strong coupling with momentum-dependent confinement strength and ultraviolet boundary conditions reproduces alpha_s data at all scales and gives alpha_s(MZ) = 0.1161 +/- 0.0017.

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A fixed-hyperparameter Gaussian-process prior recovers parton distributions from limited Ioffe-time data and yields more realistic small-x uncertainties than simple parametric fits.

  5. Toward inclusive observables with staggered quarks: the smeared $R$~ratio

    hep-lat 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A pilot lattice QCD calculation shows that staggered quarks, with even/odd time-slice separation, produce a smeared R ratio that roughly matches the Bernecker-Meyer model below 1 GeV.
