We investigate the relativistic corrections to the static potential, i.e. the O(1/m) potential and the O(1/m^2) velocity-dependent potentials, in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. They are important ingredients of potential nonrelativistic QCD…
We test various improved gauge actions which are made of linear combinations of Wilson loops. We observe the restoration of rotational symmetry in the static interquark potential already on coarse lattices as small as 6^3x12. Furthermore,…

We suggest a Hamiltonian formulation on a momentum lattice using a physically motivated regularization using the Breit-frame which links the maximal parton number to the lattice size. This scheme restricts parton momenta to positive values…
Following Symanzik we argue that the Schr\"odinger functional in lattice gauge theories without matter fields has a well-defined continuum limit. Due to gauge invariance no extra counter terms are required. The Schr\"odinger functional is,…

The relative smoothing rates of various gauge field smoothing algorithms are investigated on ${\cal O}(a^2)$-improved $\suthree$ Yang--Mills gauge field configurations. In particular, an ${\cal O}(a^2)$-improved version of APE smearing is…
We study the potential of a static quark anti-quark pair in the range 0.05fm \leq r \leq 0.8fm, employing a sequence of lattices up to 64^4. Lattice artifacts in potential and force are investigated theoretically as well as numerically and…
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 calculate the light `glueball' mass spectrum in N_f=2 lattice QCD using a fermion action that is non-perturbatively O(a) improved. We work at lattice spacings a ~0.1 fm and with quark masses that range down to about half the strange…
Static quark potential is studied using a tadpole improved gauge lattice action. The scale is set using the potential for a wide range of bare parameters. The renormalized anisotropy of the lattice is also measured.
Starting from the Schr\"odinger functional, we give a non-perturbative definition of the running coupling constant in QCD. The spatial boundary conditions for the quark fields are chosen such that the massless Dirac operator in the…
We construct an improved version of nonrelativistic QCD for use in lattice simulations of heavy quark physics, with the goal of reducing systematic errors from all sources to below 10\%. We develop power counting rules to assess the…
We perform a perturbative calculation of the influence of dynamical HISQ fermions on the perturbative improvement of the gluonic action in the same way as we have previously done for asqtad fermions. We find the fermionic contributions to…
