We calculate the quantum corrections to the Lorentz algebra for chiral Weyl fermions interacting with an external $U(1)$ gauge field in a background Riemann-Cartan (RC) spacetime. This was achieved by setting up the equal-time commutation…

Wilson Fermions with untwisted and twisted mass are widely used in lattice simulations. Therefore one important question is whether the twist angle and the lattice spacing affect the phase diagram. We briefly report on the study of the…
We study the effect of a small fermion mass in the formulation of the on-shell effective field theory (OSEFT). This is our starting point to derive small mass corrections to the chiral kinetic theory. In the massless case, only four Wigner…
We report on the two-flavor QCD simulation in the epsilon-regime using the overlap fermion formulation. Sea quark mass is reduced to ~ 2 MeV on a 16^3x32 lattice with the lattice spacing ~ 0.11fm. Topological charge is fixed at Q=0. We…
This review addresses the practical convergence of the ChPT series in the p-regime. In the SU(2) framework there is a number of new results, and improved estimates of \bar\ell_3 and \bar\ell_4 are available. In the SU(3) framework few new…
We present an exploratory study of leading isospin breaking effects in mesonic masses using $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions with open boundaries. Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken by distinct masses and electric charges of the up and…

Partially quenched Quantum Chromodynamics with Wilson fermions on a lattice is considered in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Two degenerate quark flavours are associated with a chirally twisted mass term. The pion masses and…
