The 3-loop Beta Function of QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

Using the background field technique, we calculate the 3-loop beta function of lattice SU(N)SU(N) gauge theories. In the pure gluonic case, we present our results, comparing to those recently obtained by Luescher and Weisz. We also provide a progress report in the case of QCD with Wilson fermions.
