Description

A study of centre vortices and gluon propagators is presented on anisotropic, dynamical lattices. We use thermal ensembles from the FASTSUM collaboration and results are discussed in both the confined and deconfined phases. Centre vortices are analysed including their percolation and branching point properties, and an analysis of the Landau gauge-fixed gluon propagators is presented. Issues surrounding gauge fixing in the anisotropic case are outlined..
