On the QCD coupling behavior in the infrared region
Abstract
The summary of nonperturbative results for the QCD invariant coupling baralphas obtained by lattice simulations for functional integral and by solution of approximate Dyson--Schwinger equations reveals a puzzling variety of IR behavior of baralphas(Q2) even on a qualitative level. This, in turn, rises a question of correspondence between the results obtained so far by different groups. We analyze this issue in terms of mass-dependent coupling constant transformations and conclude that the question of the IR behavior of effective QCD coupling and of propagators is not a well--defined one and needs to be more specified.
