contents We show that the Serreau--Tissier (ST) replica sector can dynamically generate a Gribov--Zwanziger (GZ)--type horizon functional in Yang--Mills (YM) theories. After integrating out the replica superfields, the expansion of the determinant of the Faddeev--Popov (FP) operator in the regulator $ζ$ produces, at linear order in $ζ$, a nonlocal kernel with the same color and Lorentz structure as the Gribov horizon functional, thereby defining an induced Gribov scale. Depending on the replica phase selected by the dynamics, the ST sector yields either (i) a local Curci--Ferrari (CF) screening mass (replica-symmetric phase) or (ii) an induced horizon-like interaction (replica-broken phase). In the latter case, the resulting BRST-invariant local formulation leads to a tree-level gluon propagator of the refined Gribov-Zwanziger (RGZ) decoupling type, whereas in the former it reduces to the massive FP/CF form, avoiding double counting of infrared scales by construction. A superspace derivation confirms that the induced horizon term originates from the ST superdeterminant, providing a microscopic mechanism for the emergence of the Gribov scale within the replica framework.
