We define the energy-momentum tensor on lattice for the $\lambda \phi^4$ and for the nonlinear $\sigma$-model Symanzik tree-improved actions, using Ward identities or an explicit matching procedure. The resulting operators give the correct…
The lattice QCD field is currently undergoing a revolution in the manner in which improvements of the approach are being implemented. We are examining the utility of order-a^2-improved tadpole-improved actions for the light fermion sector.…
We extend to the clover improved lattice formulation of QCD the resummation of cactus diagrams, i.e. a certain class of tadpole-like gauge invariant diagrams. Cactus resummation yields an improved perturbative expansion. We apply it to the…
We compare the quenched hadron spectrum on blocked and unblocked lattices for the Wilson quark action, the clover action and the tadpole-improved clover action. The latter gives a spectrum markedly closer to the original one, even though…
Tensor hypercontraction is a method that allows the representation of a high-rank tensor as a product of lower-rank tensors. In this paper, we show how tensor hypercontraction can be applied to both the electron repulsion integral (ERI)…
The masses and dispersions of light hadrons are calculated in lattice QCD using an O(a^2) tadpole-improved gluon action and an O(a^2) tadpole-improved next-nearest-neighbor fermion action originally proposed by Hamber and Wu. Two lattices…

In this work I apply a recently proposed improvement procedure, originally conceived to reduce finite lattice spacing effects in transfer matrices for dilute Fermi systems, to tuning operators for the calculation of observables. I…
Flavor singlet and non-singlet axial Ward identities are investigated using the Wilson formulation of lattice QCD with Clover O(a)-improvement, which breaks explicitly chiral symmetry. The matching at one-loop order of all the relevant…
The long-term goal of this project is the non-perturbative renormalization of the energy-momentum tensor in the 2d $O(3)$ non-linear sigma model using different methods which have been developed for QCD applications. As a first step, we…
In this review we discuss the general features of maximally twisted lattice QCD. In particular, we illustrate how automatic O(a) improvement can be achieved and how it is possible to set up a lattice regularization scheme where the problem…

We discuss the successes and limitations of statistical sampling for a sequence of models studied in the context of lattice QCD and emphasize the need for new methods to deal with finite-density and real-time evolution. We show that these…
By using Symanzik's improvement program, we study on-shell improved lattice QCD with staggered fermions. We find that there are as many as 15 independent lattice operators of dimension of six~(including both gauge and fermion operators)…
