In this paper, we show the uniqueness of Schr\"odinger flow from a general complete Riemannian manifold to a complete K\"ahler manifold with bounded geometry. While following the ideas of McGahagan[16], we present a more intrinsic proof by…
We observe that the would-be running coupling on the lattice defined by means of the gradient-flow method in order to identify the conformal window of QCD is not renormalization-group invariant (RGI). Indeed, we show that the would-be…
In contrast to perturbative QCD, the analytic QCD models have running coupling whose analytic properties correctly mirror those of spacelike observables. The discontinuity (spectral) function of such running coupling is expected to agree…

Based on a study of the analytic running coupling obtained from the standard perturbation theory results up to four-loop order, the QCD ``synthetic'' running coupling \alpha_{syn} is built. In so doing the perturbative time-like…
Using orbifold techniques I construct the Schrodinger functional (SF) for a doublet of Wilson quarks with chirally rotated boundary conditions. This allows to perform checks of universality: for instance, the renormalized SF coupling…
This master thesis looks at the gradient flow of the length functional on embedded loops. The space of embedded loops is endowed with a scale structure so that the length functional becomes scale smooth. For certain underlying manifolds,…
The gradient flow is a valuable tool for the lattice community, with applications from scale-setting to implementing chiral fermions. Here I focus on the gradient flow as a means to suppress power-divergent mixing. Power-divergent mixing…
The analytical method of QCD running coupling constant is extended to a model with an all-order beta function which is inspired by the famous Novikov-Shifman-Vai\-n\-s\-htein-Zakharov beta function of N=1 supersymmetric gau\-g\-e theories.…

When designing lattice actions, gauge field smearing is often used in the definition of the lattice Dirac operator. Too much smearing can result in uncontrolled continuum extrapolations as the short distance behaviour of the theory is…
