We calculate the relation between the bare coupling constant g_0 and the MSbar-renormalized coupling g_MS: g_0 = Z_g(g_0,a \mu) g_MS, to 2 loops in perturbation theory. We employ the standard Wilson action for gluons and the overlap action…
We formulate lattice fermions in a way that encompasses Wilson fermions as well as the static and non-relativistic approximations. In particular, we treat $m_qa$ systematically ($m_q$ is the fermion mass) showing how to understand the…
We apply the physically more appealing MIT Bag boundary conditions to study the Casimir effect on the lattice. Employing the formalism of arXiv:2005.10758 to calculate the Casimir energy for free lattice fermions, we show that the results…
The static energy is an excellent observable for extracting the strong coupling $\alpha_s$ on the lattice. For short distances, the static energy can be calculated both on the lattice using Wilson line correlators, and with perturbation…

In this paper we present one-loop results for the renormalization of nonlocal quark bilinear operators, containing a staple-shaped Wilson line, in both continuum and lattice regularizations. The continuum calculations were performed in…
A comprehensive number of one-loop integrals in a theory with Wilson fermions at $r=1$ is computed using the Burgio-Caracciolo-Pelissetto algorithm. With the use of these results, the fermionic propagator in the coordinate representation is…
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…
We calculate the 2-loop partition function of QCD on the lattice, using the Wilson formulation for gluons and the overlap-Dirac operator for fermions. Direct by-products of our result are the 2-loop free energy and average plaquette. Our…
Chiral perturbation theory for eigenvalue distributions, and equivalently random matrix theory, has recently been extended to include lattice effects for Wilson fermions. We test the predictions by comparison to eigenvalue distributions of…
