Investigating and Optimizing the Chiral Properties of Lattice Fermion Actions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study exceptional modes of both the Wilson and the clover action in order to understand why quenched clover spectroscopy suffers so severely from exceptional configurations. We show that, in contrast to the case of the Wilson action, a large clover coefficient can make the exceptional modes extremely localized and thus very sensitive to short distance fluctuations. We describe a way to optimize the chiral behavior of Wilsontype lattice fermion actions by studying their low energy real eigenmodes. We find a candidate action, the clover action with fat links with a tuned clover term. We present a calculation of spectroscopy and matrix elements at Wilson gauge coupling β = 5.7. When compared to simulations with the standard (nonperturbatively improved) clover action at small lattice spacing, the action shows good scaling behavior, with an apparent great reduction in the number of exceptional configurations.

متن کاملSearch for Chiral Fermion Actions on Non-Orthogonal Lattices
The graphene-inspired fermion actions recently proposed by Creutz and Boriçi have sparked interest in the use of non-orthogonal lattices in lattice QCD. These fermion actions have the desired chiral symmetry and have the minimal doubling required by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. However, due to the lack of discrete symmetries, radiative corrections in the gauged lattice theory will lead t...

The SU (N f) L ⊗ SU (N f) R chiral symmetry of QCD is of central importance for the nonpertur-bative low-energy dynamics of light quarks and gluons. Lattice field theory provides a theoretical framework in which these dynamics can be studied from first principles. The implementation of chiral symmetry on the lattice is a nontrivial issue. In particular, local lattice fermion actions with the ch...
متن کاملUnquenched domain wall quarks with TSMB
Lattice actions with improved chiral properties offer the perspective of QCD simulations with a better control of chiral symmetry at non-zero lattice spacings. A prototype is the domain wall fermion action [1–3] defined on a five dimensional hypercubic lattice. Following Shamir’s formulation [3], the light chiral fermion modes are located on two boundaries of the fifth dimension. The price of t...
