For illustration we constructgauge-invariant self-energy and three-point vertices for gluons at the one-loop level by the BFMand demonstrate that we get the same results which were derived via the PT. We also calculate thefour-gluon vertex in the BFM and show that this vertex obeys the same Ward identity that wasfound with the PT.}, pages = {7066--7076}, title = {Background field method: alternative way of deriving the pinch technique's results}, volume = {50}, year = {1994} }
