We derive the asymptotic lattice spacing dependence $a^n[2b_0\bar{g}^2(1/a)]^{\hat{\Gamma}_i}$ relevant for spectral quantities of lattice QCD, when using Wilson, O$(a)$ improved Wilson or Ginsparg-Wilson quarks. We give some examples for…

We propose a method to improve lattice operators composed of Wilson fermions which allows the removal of all corrections of $O(a)$, including those proportional to the quark mass. It requires off-shell improvement of quark fields and…
