We describe a number of aspects in our attempt to construct an approximately perfect lattice action for QCD. Free quarks are made optimally local on the whole renormalized trajectory and their couplings are then truncated by imposing…
We present the first results from a study of the quark--gluon vertex function in the Landau gauge. The results are obtained for quenched QCD with an O(a)-improved Wilson fermion action, at beta=6.0. We discuss plans for further study,…
The quark-gluon vertex is an important object of QCD. Studies have shown that this quantity is relevant for the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking pattern in the vacuum. The goal of our project is to obtain the quark-gluon vertex at finite…
We present first results from a full QCD calculation on the CP-PACS, comparing various actions at $a^{-1} \sim 1 GeV$ and $m_\pi/m_\rho \approx 0.7$--0.9. We use the plaquette and a renormalization group improved action for the gluons, and…

Quark-hadron duality is an interesting and potentially very useful phenomenon, as it relates the properly averaged hadronic data to a perturbative QCD result in some kinematic regions. While duality is well established experimentally, our…
We show that the perturbatively-improved gluon action for QCD, once it is tadpole-improved, gives accurate results even with lattice spacings as large as 0.4~fm. {\em No\/} tuning of the couplings is required. Using this action and lattice…
