  We analyze the restoration of the Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identities for pure
massless Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge within the BPHZL renormalization
scheme with IR regulator. We obtain the most general form of the action-like
part of the symmetric regularized action, obeying the relevant ST identities
and all other relevant symmetries of the model, to all orders in the loop
expansion. We also give a cohomological characterization of the fulfillment of
BPHZL IR power-counting criterion, guaranteeing the existence of the limit
where the IR regulator goes to zero. The technique analyzed in this paper is
needed in the study of the restoration of the ST identities for those models,
like the MSSM, where massless particles are present and no invariant
regularization scheme is known to preserve the full set of ST identities of the
theory.
