Abstract

We review the infrared properties of the pure Yang–Mills correlators and discuss recent results concerning the two classes of low-momentum solutions for them reported in literature, i.e. decoupling and scaling solutions. We will mainly focus on the Landau gauge and pay special attention to the results inferred from the analysis of the Dyson–Schwinger equations of the theory and from “quenched” lattice QCD. The results obtained from properly interplaying both approaches are strongly emphasized.
