The analytic structure of Green's functions holds valuable information on the propagating degree of freedom. In particular, the notion of positivity violation of spectral densities establishes a sufficient (though not necessary) criterion to expel the degree of freedom from the space of asymptotic states, serving thus as a simple mechanism of confinement. Here we discuss methods of calculating the analytic properties of the non-perturbative Landau gauge quark propagator by means of Dyson-Schwinger equations.
