We compute the two loop MSbar correction to the Gribov mass gap equation in the Landau gauge using the Gribov-Zwanziger Lagrangian with massive quarks included. The computation involves dilogarithms of complex arguments and reproduces the known gap equation when the quark mass tends to zero.
The three loop anomalous dimension for the gauge invariant, renormalizable, non-local mass operator for a gluon is computed in the MSbar scheme. In addition the anomalous dimensions of the associated localizing ghost fields are also deduced at the same order and it is shown that the three loop QCD beta-function correctly emerges from the gluon localizing ghost vertex renormalization.
