Perturbative expansions of QCD observables in powers of $\alpha_s$ are believed to be asymptotic and non-Borel summable due to the existence of singularities in the Borel plane (renormalons). This fact is connected with the factorization of…
We present a new theoretical and practical strategy to renormalize non-perturbatively the energy-momentum tensor in lattice QCD based on the framework of shifted boundary conditions. As a preparatory step for the fully non-perturbative…
Heavy-meson semileptonic decays calculations on the lattice are reviewed. The focus is upon obtaining reliable matrix elements. Errors that depend upon the lattice spacing, $a$, are an important source of systematic error. Full $O(a)$…
A novel method for nonperturbative renormalization of lattice operators is introduced, which lends itself to the calculation of renormalization factors for nonsinglet as well as singlet operators. The method is based on the Feynman-Hellmann…
We study the non-perturbative determination of the renormalization constants of flavor non-singlet quark bilinear operators on the lattice. The renormalization condition is imposed on correlation functions of bilinear operators in the…
The status of lattice determinations of quark masses is reviewed (with the exception of m_b). Attempts to extract the low-energy constants in the effective chiral Lagrangian are discussed, with special emphasis on those couplings which are…
We report results of quark masses in quenched lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind fermion action, employing the Reguralization Independent scheme (RI) of Martinelli et al. to non-perturbatively evaluate the renormalization factor relating…
A variant of White's density matrix renormalisation group scheme which is designed to compute low-lying energies of one-dimensional quantum lattice models with a large number of degrees of freedom per site is described. The method is tested…
We introduce an optimal renormalization group analysis pertinent to the analysis of polarization functions associated with the $s$-quark mass relevant in $\tau$-decay. The technique is based on the renormalization group invariance…
We calculate the perturbative corrections to order \alpha_s^2\beta_0 to the sum rule derived from the second moment of the time-ordered product of b \to c currents near zero recoil. This sum rule yields a bound on \lambda_1, the expectation…
The precise measurement of the width difference \Delta\Gamma_s among the mass eigenstates of the B_s-\bar{B}_s system requires the calculation of the corresponding decay matrix to order \alpha_s/m_b. QCD corrections to power-suppressed…
We systematically examine various proposals which aim at increasing the accuracy in the determination of the renormalization of two-fermion lattice operators. We concentrate on three finite quantities which are particularly suitable for our…
We compute lattice renormalisation constants of local bilinear quark operators for overlap fermions and improved gauge actions. Among the actions we consider are the Symanzik, L\"uscher-Weisz, Iwasaki and DBW2 gauge actions. The results are…
Some simple expectations for the quark mass dependence of radial excitation energies of heavy-light hadrons based on consideration of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics are discussed. Experimental and theoretical results are reviewed in…
We report the renormalization and mixing constants to one-loop order for the quark and gluon energy-momentum (EM) tensor operators on the lattice. A unique aspect of this mixing calculation is the definition of the glue EM tensor operator.…
The $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude is an important non-perturbative quantity arising in the factorization of the amplitudes for many exclusive decays of $B$ mesons, such as $B^-\to\gamma\,\ell^-\bar\nu$. We reconsider the…
We present the calculation of the non-perturbative renormalization constants of the energy-momentum tensor in the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. That computation is carried out in the framework of shifted boundary conditions, where a thermal…
We compute the $ma$ dependence of lattice renormalization factors for sea quark matrix elements. The results differ from the $(1+ma)$ correction factor commonly used for valence quarks and connected current insertions. We find that for sea…
We calculate the non-forward quark matrix elements for operators with two covariant derivatives in one-loop lattice perturbation theory using Wilson fermions. These matrix elements are needed in the renormalisation of the second moment of…
The operator mixing matrix for the dimension six operators in the heavy quark effective theory Lagrangian is computed at one loop. The results are shown to be consistent with constraints from the equations of motion, and from…
