IR sector is dominated by Faddeev-Popov determinantIn a stochastic vacuum,
we have the following expectation values,

If the ghost-loop dominates the IR, it better be transverse.
In d spatial dimensions, there are two solution branches:

Only obeys transversality!

Lattice calculations: too large by a factor of 2-3.No order parameter for „deconfinement“.
