We discuss the inclusion of fermionic loops contributions in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory for Lattice Gauge Theories. We show how the algorithm implementation is in principle straightforward and report on the status of the…
Introducing fermionic loops contributions in Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory was mainly motivated by the proposal to compute 2-3 loops for renormalization constants (and improvement coefficients). This is feasible because the…
First attempts in the application of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) to the problem of pushing one loop further the computation of SU(3) (SU(2)) pertubative beta function (in different schemes) are reviewed and the relevance…
We give a full account of the Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory method for Lattice Gauge Theories. Particular relevance is given to the inclusion of dynamical fermions, which turns out to be surprisingly cheap in this context. We…
The Schr\"odinger functional (SF) is a powerful and widely used tool for the treatment of a variety of problems in renormalization and related areas. Albeit offering many conceptual advantages, one major downside of the SF scheme is the…
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) allows for perturbative computations in quantum field theory. We present an implementation of NSPT that yields results for high orders in the perturbative expansion of lattice gauge theories…
In the last three decades, Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) has proven to be an excellent tool for calculating perturbative expansions in theories such as Lattice QCD, for which standard, diagrammatic perturbation theory is…
The treatment of hypercubic lattice artifacts is essential for the calculation of non-perturbative renormalization constants of RI-MOM schemes. It has been shown that for the RI'-MOM scheme a large part of these artifacts can be calculated…

The SU(3) beta function is computed from Wilson loops to 20th order numerical stochastic perturbation theory. An attempt is made to include massless fermions, whose contribution is known analytically to 4th order. The question whether the…
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) enables very high order computations in Lattice Gauge Theories. We report on the determination of the gluon condensate from lattice QCD measurements of the basic plaquette. This is a long…
A review of new developments in numerical stochastic perturbation theory (NSPT) is presented. In particular, the status of the extension of the method to gauge fixed lattice QCD is reviewed and a first application to compact (scalar) QED is…
Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT) has over the years proved to be a valuable tool, in particular being able to reach unprecedented orders for Lattice Gauge Theories, whose perturbative expansions are notoriously cumbersome.…
The Non-Linear Sigma Model (NLSM) is an example of a field theory on a target space exhibiting intricate geometry. One remarkable characteristic of the NLSM is asymptotic freedom, which triggers interest in perturbative calculations. In the…
In a recent paper, we developed and applied a dilaton-based effective field theory (EFT) to the analysis of lattice-simulation data for a class of confining gauge theories with near-conformal infrared behavior. It was employed there at the…
The $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model (NLSM) is an example of field theory on a target space with nontrivial geometry. One interesting feature of NLSM is asymptotic freedom, which makes perturbative calculations interesting. Given the successes…
Using Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory (NSPT), we calculate the static self-energy of SU(3) gauge theory up to order \alpha^{20}. Simulations on a large set of different lattice volumes allow for a careful treatment of finite size…
Lattice field theory is a non-perturbative tool for studying properties of strongly interacting field theories, which is particularly amenable to numerical calculations and has quantifiable systematic errors. In these lectures we apply…
