We investigate a 3+1 dimensional toy model that exhibits spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry, both in a light-front (LF) Hamiltonian and in a Euclidean Schwinger-Dyson (SD) formulation. We show that both formulations are completely…
The pseudo-fermion functional renormalization group is generalized to treat spin Hamiltonians with finite magnetic fields, enabling its application to arbitrary spin lattice models with linear and bilinear terms in the spin operators. We…
We compute the renormalization functions on the lattice, in the RI' scheme, of local bilinear quark operators $\bar{\psi}\Gamma\psi$, where $\Gamma= 1, \gamma_5, \gamma_\mu, \gamma_5\gamma_\mu, \gamma_5\sigma_{\mu\nu}$. This calculation is…
We compute the two-loop renormalization functions, in the RI' scheme, of local bilinear quark operators $\bar{\psi}\Gamma\psi$, where $\Gamma$ corresponds to the Vector, Axial-Vector and Tensor Dirac operators, in the lattice formulation of…
Framing anomaly is a key property of $(2+1)d$ chiral topological orders, for it reveals that the chirality is an intrinsic bulk property of the system, rather than a property of the boundary between two systems. Understanding framing…
We non-perturbatively determine the renormalization factor of the axial vector current in lattice QCD with $N_f=3$ flavors of Wilson-clover fermions and the tree-level Symanzik-improved gauge action. The (by now standard) renormalization…
We present the results of an extensive lattice calculation of the renormalization constants of bilinear and four-quark operators for the non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson action. The results are obtained in the quenched approximation…
We compute the hadronic matrix elements of the four-quark operators relevant for $K^0-{\bar K^0}$ mixing beyond the Standard Model. Our results are from lattice QCD simulations with $n_f=2+1$ flavours of domain-wall fermion, which exhibit…
We propose a novel renormalization scheme for the hadronic operators. The renormalization factor of the operator in this scheme is normalized by the correlation function at tree level in coordinate space. If we focus on the pseudo scalar…
Lattice QCD with Wilson quarks and a chirally twisted mass term (tmQCD) has been introduced in refs. [1,2]. We here apply Symanzik's improvement programme to this theory and list the counterterms which arise at first order in the lattice…
In the continuum, the single flavor massless Schwinger model has an exact global axial $U(1)$ symmetry in the sector of perturbative gauge fields. This symmetry is explicitly broken by gauge fields with nonzero topological charge inducing a…
There exist both continuum and lattice regularizations of gauge theories with fermions which preserve chiral U(1) invariance ("fermion number"). Such regularizations necessarily break gauge invariance but, in a covariant gauge, one recovers…
We examine the precise connection between the exact renormalisation group with local couplings and the renormalisation of correlation functions of composite operators in scale-invariant theories. A geometric description of theory space…
We present a scaling study of lattice QCD with O(a) improved Wilson fermions and a chirally twisted mass term. In order to get precise results with a moderate computational effort, we have considered a system of physical size of 0.75^3 *…
We compute non-perturbatively the renormalisation constants of composite operators on a $16^3 \times 32 $ lattice with lattice spacing $a$ = 0.093 fm for the overlap fermion action by using the regularisation independent (RI) scheme. The…
We simulate two dimensional QED with two degenerate Wilson fermions and plaquette gauge action. As a consequence of the Mermin-Wagner theorem, in the continuum limit chiral symmetry is realized a la Wigner. This property affects also the…
We propose a renormalization scheme that can be simply implemented on the lattice. It consists of the temporal moments of two-point and three-point functions calculated with finite valence quark mass. The scheme is confirmed to yield a…
In this article, we investigate systems of generalized Schr\"odinger operators and their fundamental matrices. More specifically, we establish the existence of such fundamental matrices and then prove sharp upper and lower exponential decay…
In these lectures I explain how chiral symmetry of continuum QCD naturally leads to a class of lattice regularisations known as twisted mass QCD (tmQCD). As compared to standard Wilson quarks, its advantages are the absence of unphysical…
We study the 2-flavour lattice Schwinger model: QED in D=2 with two fermion species of identical mass. In the simulation we are using Wilson fermions where chiral symmetry is explicitly broken. Since there is no known simple order parameter…
