We compute the renormalization factors of four-quark operators needed for the study of $K\to\pi\pi$ decay in the $\Delta I=3/2$ channel. We evaluate the Z-factors at a low energy scale ($\mu_0=1.145 \GeV$) using four different…
The effective theory describing infinite mass particles with a given velocity, has a great interest in heavy flavor physics. It has the unpleasant characteristic that the energy spectrum is unbounded from below; this fact is the source of…
A successful effective field theory program requires besides the most general effective Lagrangian a perturbative expansion scheme for observables in terms of a consistent power counting method. We discuss a renormalization scheme for…

A cosmology inspired structure for phase space is introduced, which leads to finitization and lattice-like discretization of position and momentum eigenvalues in a preferred, cosmic frame. Lorentz invariance is broken at very high energies,…
Renormalization constants of vector ($Z_V$) and axial-vector ($Z_A$) currents are determined non-perturbatively in quenched QCD for a renormalization group improved gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action using the…
We present the results of an extensive non-perturbative calculation of the renormalization constants of bilinear quark operators for the non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson action. The results are obtained at four values of the lattice…
Lorenz maps are maps of the unit interval with one critical point of order rho>1, and a discontinuity at that point. They appear as return maps of leafs of sections of the geometric Lorenz flow. We construct real a priori bounds for…
Differences between lattice Monte Carlo data and perturbation theory (for example the lack of asymptotic scaling) are usually associated with the `bad' behaviour of the bare lattice coupling g_0 due to the effects of large (and unknown)…
We compute the $ma$ dependence of lattice renormalization factors for sea quark matrix elements. The results differ from the $(1+ma)$ correction factor commonly used for valence quarks and connected current insertions. We find that for sea…

Perturbative estimates of operator coefficients for improved lattice actions are becoming increasingly important for precision simulations of many hadronic observables. Following previous work by Dimm, Lepage, and Mackenzie, we consider the…
