Query: The Minimal Landau Background Gauge on the Lattice   We present the first numerical implementation of the minimal Landau
background gauge for Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. Our approach is a simple
generalization of the usual minimal Landau gauge and is formulated for general
SU(N) gauge group. We also report on preliminary tests of the method in the
four-dimensional SU(2) case, using different background fields. Our tests show
that the convergence of the numerical minimization process is comparable to the
case of a null background. The uniqueness of the minimizing functional employed
is briefly discussed.
