Structure-dependent electromagnetic finite-volume effects through order $1/L^3$
Abstract
We consider electromagnetic finite-volume effects through order in different formulations of QED, where is the periodicity of the spatial volume. An inherent problem at this order is the appearance of structure-dependent quantities related to form factors and the analytical structure of the correlation functions. The non-local constraint of the widely used QED regularization gives rise to structure-dependent effects that are difficult to evaluate analytically and can act as a precision bottleneck in lattice calculations. For this reason, we consider general volume expansions relevant for the mass spectrum as well as leptonic decay rates in QED, QED and QED, the latter being a class of non-local formulations generalising QED. One choice within this class is QED, first introduced at this conference, and we show that the effects of non-locality for the term in the expansion can be removed. We observe that there are still contributions unrelated to the (non-)locality of the studied QED formulations, but rather to collinear singularities in the physical amplitudes.
