Abstract

We compute the Gross-Llewellyn Smith sum rule, i.e. the lowest odd moment of the parity-violating structure function, F3F_3, of the nucleon from a lattice QCD calculation of the Compton amplitude. Our calculations are performed on 483×9648^3 \times 96 lattices at the SU(3)SU(3) symmetric point for two lattice spacings. We extract the moments for several values of the current momenta in the range 0.5Q210  GeV20.5 \lesssim Q^2 \lesssim 10 \; {\rm GeV}^2, covering both the nonperturbative and perturbative regimes. We compare our moments to the Gross-Llewellyn Smith sum rule and discuss the implications for higher-twist effects, a determination of αs(Q2)\alpha_s(Q^2) from a hadronic quantity complementing the phenomenological and other lattice approaches, and electroweak box contributions crucial for Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix unitarity studies.
