We compare order $R^4$ terms in the 10-dimensional effective actions of SO(32) heterotic and type I superstrings from the point of view of duality between the two theories. Some of these terms do not receive higher-loop corrections being…

The masses and dispersions of light hadrons are calculated in lattice QCD using an order a^2 tadpole-improved gluon action and the Dchi34 action, an order a^2 tadpole-improved next-nearest-neighbor fermion action originally proposed by…
We show how the integrators used for the molecular dynamics step of the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm can be further improved. These integrators not only approximately conserve some Hamiltonian $H$ but conserve exactly a nearby shadow…

Many observables of interest in lattice QCD are extracted from correlation functions involving the vector current. If Wilson fermions are used, it is therefore of practical importance that, besides the action, the current be O($a$) improved…
We match continuum and lattice heavy-light four-fermion operators at one loop in perturbation theory. For the heavy quarks we use nonrelativistic QCD and for the massless light quarks the highly improved staggered quark action. We include…

It would be very useful to find a way of reducing excited-state effects in lattice QCD calculations of nucleon structure that has a low computational cost. We explore the use of hybrid interpolators, which contain a nontrivial gluonic…
We investigate a new class of improved relativistic fermion action on the lattice with a criterion to give excellent energy-momentum dispersion relation as well as to be consistent with tree-level $O\left(a^{2}\right)$-improvement. Main…
This note presents a comparative study of various options to reduce the errors coming from the discretization of a Quantum Field Theory in a lattice with hypercubic symmetry. We show that it is possible to perform an extrapolation towards…
