This vertex is known to be essential for the gauge-invariant truncation of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of QCD, based on the pinch technique and the background field method. A key step in this construction is the formal derivation of a set of crucial constraints (shown to be valid to all orders), relating the various form factors of the ghost Green's functions appearing in the aforementioned Slavnov-Taylor identity. When inserted into the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the gluon propagator, this vertex gives rise to a number of highly non-trivial cancellations, which are absolutely indispensable for the self-consistency of the entire approach. %K Nonperturbative Effects %K QCD %R 10.1007/JHEP03(2011)121 %U http://arXiv.org/abs/arXiv:1102.5662 %U https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP03(2011)121 %P 121-23pp
