I analyze cutoff effects of the gradient flow for Wilson-type fermions. I show that with a proper choice of the higher dimensional fields in the Symanzik effective theory, O($a$) improvement of the action is achieved changing the initial…

In this paper we investigate the cutoff effects at tree-level of perturbation theory for three different lattice regularizations of fermions -- maximally twisted mass Wilson, overlap and Creutz fermions. We show that all three kinds of…
The conservation of the isovector axial current in lattice QCD with massless Wilson quarks is studied to one-loop order of perturbation theory. Following a strategy described in a previous publication, the O($a$) counterterm required for…
We discuss an action in which the fermion matrix has single level stout smearing for the hopping terms together with unsmeared links for the clover term. With the (tree level) Symanzik improved gluon action this constitutes the Stout Link…
We calculate the third coefficient of the lattice beta function in QCD with Wilson fermions, extending the pure gauge results of Luescher and Weisz; we show how this coefficient modifies the scaling function on the lattice. We also…
We calculate the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert coefficient of the O(a) improvement term for Wilson fermions in any representation of the gauge group SU(N) perturbatively at the one-loop level. The result applies to QCD with adjoint quarks and to…
We study non-perturbative improvement in SU(3) lattice gauge theory coupled to fermions in the fundamental and two-index symmetric representations. Our lattice action is defined with hypercubic smeared links incorporated into the…
When designing lattice actions, gauge field smearing is frequently used to define the lattice Dirac operator. Since the smearing procedure removes effects of ultraviolet fluctuations, the fermions effectively see a larger lattice spacing…
We perturbatively determine O($a$) boundary improvement coefficients at 1-loop for the Schr\"odinger Functional coupling with improved gauge actions. These coefficients are required to implement the 1-loop O($a$) improvement in full QCD…
We evaluate the one-loop corrections to the Wilson coefficient of the kinetic operator in the operator product expansion of the differential B -> X_c l nu decay rate. With a moderate cut on the lepton energy, the one-loop terms change the…
