Landau gauge gluon propagators are studied numerically in the SU (3) gluodynamics as well as in the full QCD with the number of flavors nF = 2 using efficient gauge fixing technique. We compare these propagators at temperatures very close to the transition point in two phases: confinement and deconfinement. The electric mass mE has been determined from the momentum space longitudinal gluon propagator. Gribov copy effects are found to be rather strong in the gluodynamics, while in the full QCD case they are weak ("Gribov noise"). Also we analyze finite volume dependence of the transverse and longitudinal propagators.

We study gluon propagator in Landau gauge with lattice QCD, where we use an improved lattice action. The calculation of gluon propagator is performed on lattices with the lattice spacing from 0.40 fm to 0.24 fm and with the lattice volume from (2.40 fm )4 to (4.0 fm )4. We find that the rotation invariance is approximately restored in the q2-range, indicated by the fact that the propagator is a smooth function of the continuum momentum q2. We try to fit our results by two different ways, in the first one we interpret the calculated gluon propagators as a function of the continuum momentum, while in the second we interpret the propagators as a function of the lattice momentum. In both cases we use models which are the same in continuum limit. A qualitative agreement between two fittings is found.

Both lattice simulations and theoretical studies show that the spectral function of the gluon propagator of QCD (in various gauges, as well as for the gauge-invariant Pinch Technique, or PT, propagator) is not nonnegative everywhere, although it should be if it has a physical interpretation as in QED. Theory says moreover that the non-positive spectral function of the Landau-gauge or of the PT gluon propagator is further constrained to obey a superconvergence relation (the integral of the spectral function vanishes). We review the theoretical and lattice evidence for violation of positivity as well as various interpretations of this violation, and consider methods for checking superconvergence on the lattice (so far undone). The most common interpretation is that positivity violation implies confinement of gluons, so the gluon propagator does not describe processes with physical gluons. Another more direct and gauge-invariant interpretation arises from the PT: Asymptotic freedom alone demands non-positivity and superconvergence.

We reconstruct the gluon spectral function in Landau gauge QCD from numerical data for the gluon propagator. The reconstruction relies on two novel ingredients: Firstly we derive analytically the low frequency asymptotics of the spectral function. Secondly we construct a functional basis from a careful consideration of the analytic properties of the gluon propagator in Landau gauge. This allows us to reliably capture the non-perturbative regime of the gluon spectrum. We also compare different reconstruction methods and discuss the respective systematic errors.
