Abstract
A lattice QCD calculation for the four-gluon one-particle irreducible Green function in the Landau gauge is discussed. Results for some of the associated form factors are reported for kinematical configurations with a single momentum scale. Our results show that the computation of this Green function requires large statistical ensembles with 10 K or larger number of gauge configurations. The simulations considered herein have a clear Monte Carlo signal for momenta up to . The form factors show an hierarchy, with the form factor associated with the tree level Feynman rule being dominant and essentially constant for the range of momenta accessed. The remaining form factors seem to increase as the momentum decreases, suggesting that a possible divergence may occur. The computed form factors are, at least, in qualitative agreement with the results obtained with continuum approaches to this vertex, when available.
