The treatment is based on the Schwinger-Dyson equation governing this vertex, and a large-volume lattice simulation, involving ten thousand gauge field configurations. The key hypothesis employed in both approaches is the {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}planar degeneracy{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}, which classifies diverse configurations by means of a single variable, thus enabling their meaningful {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}averaging{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}. The results of both approaches show notable agreement, revealing a considerable suppression of the averaged form factor in the infrared. The deviations from the exact planar degeneracy are discussed in detail, and a supplementary variable is used to achieve a more accurate description. The effective charge defined through this special form factor is computed within both approaches, and the results obtained are in excellent agreement.", optnote="WOS:001336250000001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=6299), last updated on Mon, 28 Oct 2024 10:34:57 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2024.139065", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.06135", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2024.139065", language="English" }
