This propagator clearly shows positivity violation, indicating the absence of the transverse gluons from the physical spectrum, i.e. gluon confinement. A simple analytic structure for the gluon propagator is proposed capturing all important features. We provide arguments that the Landau gauge quark propagator possesses a singularity on the real timelike axis. For this propagator we find a positive definite Schwinger function.6 pages, 3 figures; summary of a talk given at several occasions; to be published in the proceedings of the international conference QCD DOWN UNDER, March 10 - 19, Adelaide, AustraliaHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - TheoryNuclear TheoryAnalytic structure of the gluon and quark propagators in Landau gauge QCDtext
