Abstract: We consider non-Abelian non-local Lee-Wick gauge theory and prove Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) invariance. It contains fourth-order derivative as extensions of the kinetic term, leading to massive ghosts in the theory upon quantization. We particularly focus on the confinement conditions in strongly-coupled regimes, using the Kugo-Ojima approach, and obtain the exact $$functions in the non-perturbative regimes. This is achieved using a set of exact solutions of the corresponding local theory in terms of Jacobi elliptical functions. We obtain an identical $$function just as for the local Yang-Mills theory but the main difference is that now, the cut-off arises naturally from the Lee-Wick heavy mass scales (M). We show that the fate of the ghosts are fixed in these regimes: they are no more the propagating degrees of freedom in the infrared (IR)-limit. In the limit $Mightarrowinfty$, one recovers the standard results for the local non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory.
