Renormalization and topological susceptibility on the lattice: SU(2) Yang-Mills theory

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The renormalization functions involved in the determination of the topological susceptibility in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory are extracted by direct measurements, without relying on perturbation theory. The determination exploits the phenomenon of critical slowing down to allow the separation of perturbative and non-perturbative effects. The results are in good agreement with perturbative computations.
