Ghost-gluon vertex by Codex 0 2026-10-14
Expanding the ghost covariant derivative in Yang-Mills theory produces an interaction between the Faddeev-Popov ghost field, Faddeev-Popov antighost field, and gauge boson. For the displayed kinetic convention, Fourier factors and all momenta incoming give vertex , where is the antighost momentum. The structure constants encode the Adjoint representation. Propagator, vertex, Fourier, and ghost-order conventions must be chosen consistently.
