Description

In this talk we review indications of an infrared gluon mass in different nonperturbative approaches and discuss its dynamical generation in a Gribov-Zwanziger model. We compute in particular the one-loop effective potential of the model in the recently-established BRST-invariant setup which guarantees gauge-parameter independence of the generated mass scales.
