We evaluate the coefficients of the effective chiral Lagrangian to $O(p^4)$ in the strong coupling, large-N expansion. In this limit we explicitly perform the functional integral over fundamental degrees of freedom and obtain the effective…
It is shown, with the example of the experimentally known Adler function, that there is no matching in the intermediate region between the two asymptotic regimes described by perturbative QCD (for the very short-distances) and by chiral…
We analize the most general low-energy effective lagrangian including local parity violating terms parametrized by an axial chemical potential $\mu_5$. This result is obtained following the external source method, up to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$…
We present an Augmented Lagrangian formulation and its real-space implementation for non-periodic orbital-free Density Functional Theory (OF-DFT) calculations. In particular, we rewrite the constrained minimization problem of OF-DFT as a…
Because the time needed for a simulation in lattice QCD varies at a rate exceeding the fourth power of the lattice size, it is important to understand how small one can make a lattice without altering the physics beyond recognition. It is…
We discuss the symmetries of quenched QCD with Wilson fermions, starting from its lagrangian formulation, taking into account the constraints needed for convergence of the ghost-quark functional integral. We construct the corresponding…
Previous extrapolations of lattice QCD results for the nucleon mass to the physically relevant region of small quark masses, using chiral effective field theory, are extended and expanded in several directions. A detailed error analysis is…
We formulate the expansion for the mass of the nucleon as a function of pion mass within chiral perturbation theory using a number of different ultra-violet regularisation schemes; including dimensional regularisation and various…
The standard chiral perturbation theory is known to predict much weaker effects in magnetic field, than found in numerical lattice data. To overcome this disagreement we are using the effective chiral confinement Lagrangian, $L_{ECCL}$,…
A three-dimensional effective lattice theory of Polyakov loops is derived from QCD by expansions in the fundamental character of the gauge action, u, and the hopping parameter, \kappa, whose action is correct to \kappa^n u^m with n+m=4. At…
As a first step towards a quantitative understanding of the SU(4)/Sp(4) composite Higgs model through lattice calculations, we discuss the low energy effective field theory resulting from the SU(4) $\to$ Sp(4) global symmetry breaking…
A Lorentz-covariant regularization scheme for effective field theories with an arbitrary number of propagating heavy and light particles is given. This regularization scheme leaves the low-energy analytic structure of Greens functions…
The vectorlike doubling of low-energy excitations is in fact a natural consequence of the pair-production around the zero-energy (E=0) due to the quantum field fluctuations of the lattice regularized vacuum. On the 1+1 dimensional lattice,…
Novel techniques are presented, which identify the power-counting regime (PCR) of chiral effective field theory, and allow the use of lattice quantum chromodynamics results that extend outside the PCR. By analyzing the renormalization of…
We discuss a proposal for the construction of lattice QCD with gauge action, fermionic action, theta-term, and the operators all based on the lattice Dirac operator D with exact chiral symmetry. The simplest regularization of this type uses…
In the strong coupling and heavy quark mass regime, lattice QCD dimensionally reduces to effective theories of Polyakov loops depending on the parameters of the original Wilson action $\beta, \kappa$ and $N_\tau$. We apply coarse graining…
We explore the breaking of Lorentz and CPT invariance in strong interactions at low energy in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Starting from the set of Lorentz-violating operators of mass-dimension five with quark and gluon…
Guided by the large-Nc limit of QCD, we construct the most general chiral resonance Lagrangian that can generate chiral low-energy constants up to O(p^6). By integrating out the resonance fields, the low-energy constants are parametrized in…
We use the effective chiral Lagrangian to analyze the phase diagram of two-flavor twisted mass lattice QCD as a function of the normal and twisted masses, generalizing previous work for the untwisted theory. We first determine the chiral…
We describe the low energy excitations of the diquark condensates in the color-flavor locked phase of QCD with three massless flavors, at high baryon densities, in terms of a non-linear effective lagrangian. Such a lagrangian is formally…
