Nonperturbative effects of divergent ghost loops

Abstract

We report on a recently unveiled connection at the nonperturbative level between the masslessness of the ghost, the precise form of the gluon propagator in the deep infrared, and the divergences observed in certain kinematic limits of the three-gluon vertex.
