Perturbative expansions of several small Wilson loops are computed through next-to-next-to-leading order in unquenched lattice QCD, from Monte Carlo simulations at weak couplings. This approach provides a much simpler alternative to…
The majority of compute time doing lattice QCD is spent inverting the fermion matrix. The time that this takes increases with the condition number of the matrix. The FLIC(Fat Link Irrelevant Clover) action displays, among other properties,…
We show how methods of continuum perturbation theory can be used to simplify perturbative lattice calculations. We use the technique of asymptotic expansions to expand lattice loop integrals around the continuum limit. After the expansion,…
We propose a lattice formulation of the chiral fermion which maximally respects the gauge symmetry and simultaneously is free of the unwanted species doublers. The formulation is based on the lattice fermion propagator and composite…
A new formulation of chiral fermions on the lattice is presented. It is a version of overlap fermions, but built from the computationally efficient staggered fermions rather than the previously used Wilson fermions. The construction reduces…
Partial compositeness is a mechanism for the generation of fermion masses which replaces a direct Higgs coupling to the fermions by a linear mixing with heavy composite partners. We present the first calculation of the relevant matrix…
Lattice computations in the Hamiltonian formulation have so far mainly focused on staggered fermions. In these proceedings, we study Wilson fermions in the Hamiltonian formulation and propose a new method to determine the resulting mass…

Clover improvement is the standard choice for lattice simulations of QCD, when the lattice artefacts coming from Wilson fermions have to be reduced. However, the clover improvement is not limited to QCD, but can be applied to a wider range…
We consider the renormalisation of lattice QCD operators with one and two covariant derivatives related to the first and second moments of generalised parton distributions and meson distribution amplitudes. Employing the clover fermion…
We calculate the critical value of the hopping parameter, kappa_c, in Lattice QCD, up to two loops in perturbation theory. We employ the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover) improved action for Wilson fermions and the Symanzik improved gluon…
We show that, when investigating Wilson-fermions correlation functions on the lattice, one is bound to encounter major difficulties in defining their dispersion relation, even at tree level. The problem is indeed quite general and, although…
The contributions of the improved fermion action of Sheikholeslami and Wohlert to the two loop coefficient of the expansion of the Schroedinger functional coupling in terms of the lattice coupling are calculated for the gauge group SU(3).…
The contributions of scalars and fermions to the null polygonal bosonic Wilson loops/gluon MHV scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SYM are considered. We first examine the re-summation of scalars at strong coupling. Then, we…
