Abstract:

It is shown that the infra-red asymptotic form of the gluon propagator has a cut structure, which is closely related with the fact that the quark propagator does not have a well-defined single pole. Calculations are carried out by using the effective Lagrangian in the axial gauge (n_µA^µ=0).
