Recent developments and selected topics in low-energy QCD are summarized, from chiral effective field theory to systems with strange and charm quarks, from lattice QCD to precision experiments.
This is an expanded version of lecture notes, delivered at the XCIII Les Houches Summer School (August 2009). Our aim is to present three very specific topics: (i) The consequences of the loss of chiral symmetry in the Wilson lattice…
We study the linear response to an external electric field of a system of fermions in a lattice at zero temperature. This allows to measure numerically the Euclidean conductivity which turns out to be compatible with an analytical…
A brief summary of the experimental results presented at the conference is given.
This talk includes a short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory in the meson sector concentrating on a number of recent developments. I discuss the latest fit of the low-energy constants. Finite volume corrections are discussed for…
We review a number of topics related to block variable renormalisation group transformations of quantum fields on the lattice, and to the emerging perfect lattice actions. We first illustrate this procedure by considering scalar fields.…
We briefly review the overlap formalism for chiral gauge theories, the overlap Dirac operator for massless fermions and its connection to domain wall fermions. We describe properties of the overlap Dirac operator, and methods to implement…
We describe our recent lattice study of SU(4) gauge theory with fermions in the fundamental and sextet representations. In this theory, a new type of baryon consists of quarks in both representations. The spectrum of these "chimera baryons"…
We discuss a method for regularizing chiral gauge theories. The idea is to formulate the gauge fields on the lattice, while the fermion determinant is regularized and computed in the continuum. A simple effective action emerges which lends…
Perturbation theory for lattice fermions with domain wall mass terms is developed and is applied to investigate the chiral Schwinger model formulated on the lattice by Kaplan's method. We calculate the effective action for gauge fields to…
In this paper we propose a new approach to formulate the field theory on a lattice. This approach can eliminate the Fermion doubling problem, preserve the chiral symmetry and get the same dispersion relation for both Fermion and Boson…
A critical appraisal is given of a recent analysis of the quark-mass and finite-size dependence of unquenched lattice QCD data for the nucleon mass. We use this forum to estimate the boundary of the chiral regime for nucleon properties.
This is a Concluding Talk, not a Summary of the Conference. I will discuss some of the highlights that particularly impressed me (a subjective choice) and make some comments on the status and the prospects of neutrino mass and mixing.
Any mu^2-divergence is shown analytically to be absent for a class of actions for Overlap and Domain Wall Fermions with nonzero chemical potential. All such actions are, however, shown to violate the chiral invariance. While the parameter M…
We report new results on the lattice regularization of the chiral Schwinger model and the chiral U(1) model in four dimensions in the CFA.
A popular approximation in lattice gauge theory is an extrapolation in the number of fermion species away from the four fold degeneracy natural with the staggered fermion formulation. I show that the extrapolation procedure mutilates the…
Mirror fermions appear naturally in lattice formulations of the standard model. The phenomenological limits on their existence and discovery limits at future colliders are discussed. After an introduction of lattice actions for chiral…
A summary of the extraction of light quark masses from both QCD sumrules and lattice QCD simulations is presented. The focus is on providing a careful statement of the potential weaknesses in each calculation, and on integrating the work of…
The construction of massless Majorana fermions with chiral Yukawa couplings on the lattice is considered. We find topological obstructions tightly linked to those underlying the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. In contradistinction to chiral…
This review addresses the practical convergence of the ChPT series in the p-regime. In the SU(2) framework there is a number of new results, and improved estimates of \bar\ell_3 and \bar\ell_4 are available. In the SU(3) framework few new…
