We derive a general formula of the tensor network representation for $d$-dimensional lattice fermions with ultra-local interactions, including Wilson fermions, staggered fermions, and domain-wall fermions. The Grassmann tensor is concretely…
We have computed the decay constants for the $B$ and $D$ mesons, using quenched lattices at $\beta=6.3$, by interpolating between the static approximation of Eichten and the conventional (``heavy'' Wilson fermion) method. A more careful…
We investigate the scaling behaviour of quenched Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist applying two definitions of the critical mass. The first definition uses the vanishing of the pseudoscalar meson mass m_PS while the second…
We give a wilsonian formulation of non-abelian gauge theories explicitly consistent with axial gauge Ward identitities. The issues of unitarity and dependence on the quantization direction are carefully investigated. A wilsonian computation…
The fixed point actions for Wilson and staggered lattice fermions are determined by iterating renormalization group transformations. In both cases a line of fixed points is found. Some points have very local fixed point actions. They can be…
We compute non-perturbatively the renormalization constant of the flavour-singlet local vector current $Z_V$ in lattice QCD with 3 massless flavours. Gluons are discretized by the Wilson plaquette action while quarks by the O($a$)-improved…

We present results for the renormalization of gauge invariant nonlocal fermion operators which contain a Wilson line, to one loop level in lattice perturbation theory. Our calculations have been performed for Wilson/clover fermions and a…
We present an investigation of gauge invariant smearing for Wilson fermions on a $24^3 \times 48$ lattice at $\beta = 6.2$. We demonstrate a smearing algorithm that allows a substantial improvement in the determination of the baryon…
We report the results of our quenched lattice simulations of the Wilson action with a nonperturbatively determined clover term at beta=6.2 and compare them with those of the standard Wilson action at the same beta value.
We study a systematic improvement of perturbation theory for gauge fields on the lattice; the improvement entails resumming, to all orders in the coupling constant, a dominant subclass of tadpole diagrams. This method, originally proposed…
The chirally rotated Schr\"odinger functional for Wilson-fermions allows for finite-volume, mass-independent renormalization schemes compatible with automatic O($a$) improvement. So far, in QCD, the set-up has only been studied in the…
We present the current status of our computation of quark bilinear renormalization constants for Wilson fermions and Symanzik improved gauge action. Computations are performed in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. Volumes range from…
We present first results from calculations using O(a) improved (FNAL) space-time asymmetric action on a 12^3 x 24 quenched lattice at \beta = 5.7 and c_SW = 1.57. The asymmetry parameter is determined non-perturbatively from the…
We compute the running QCD coupling on the lattice by evaluating two-point and three-point off-shell gluon Green's functions in a fixed gauge and imposing non-perturbative renormalisation conditions on them. Our exploratory study is…
We discuss a comparative analysis of unimproved and nonperturbatively improved quenched hadron spectroscopy, on a set of 104 gauge configurations, at beta=6.2. We also present here our results for meson decay constants, including the…
We determine the improvement coefficients b_m and b_a-bp in quenched lattice QCD for a range of beta-values, which is relevant for current large scale simulations. At fixed beta, the results are rather sensitive to the precise choices of…
We determine the nonperturbative anisotropic parameter of the gauge action in the quenched approximation with less than 1% accuracy using the Sommer scale measured by the L\"uscher-Weisz algorithm or smearing technique. We also study the…
