Perturbative expansions from Monte Carlo simulations at weak coupling: Wilson loops and the static-quark self-energy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perturbative coefficients for Wilson loops and the static-quark self-energy are extracted from Monte Carlo simulations at weak coupling. The lattice volumes and couplings are chosen to ensure that the lattice momenta are all perturbative. Twisted boundary conditions are used to eliminate the effects of lattice zero modes and to suppress nonperturbative finite-volume effects due to Z(3) phases. Simulations of the Wilson gluon action are done with both periodic and twisted boundary conditions, and over a wide range of lattice volumes (from 34 to 164) and couplings (from β ≈ 9 to β ≈ 60). A high precision comparison is made between the simulation data and results from finite-volume lattice perturbation theory. The Monte Carlo results are shown to be in excellent agreement with perturbation theory through second order. New results for third-order coefficients for a number of Wilson loops and the static-quark self-energy are reported.

Perturbative coefficients for Wilson loops and the static quark self-energy are extracted from Monte Carlo simulations at large β on finite volumes, where all the lattice momenta are large. The Monte Carlo results are in excellent agreement with perturbation theory through second order. New results for third order coefficients are reported. Twisted boundary conditions are used to eliminate zero...
متن کاملSecond Order Perturbation Theory for Improved Gluon and Staggered Quark Actions
It has long been known that perturbative calculations are necessary for precision measurements of many quantities. Unfortunately perturbation theory using a lattice cutoff is difficult, due to extra diagrams and vastly more complicated Feynman rules. The complexity of these calculations is an impediment to doing the higher–order perturbation theory required for many important applications of im...
متن کاملPerturbative Wilson loops with massive sea quarks on the lattice
We present O(g) calculations of both planar and non-planar Wilson loops for various actions in the presence of sea quarks. In particular, the plaquette, the static potential and the static self energy are calculated to this order for massive Wilson, Sheikholeslami-Wohlert and Kogut-Susskind fermions, including the mass and nf dependence. The results can be used to obtain αMS and mb(mb) from lat...
متن کاملRunning coupling constant and correlation length from Wilson loops
We consider a definition of the QCD running coupling constant α(μ) related to Wilson loops of size r×t with arbitrary fixed t/r. The schemes defined by these couplings are very close to the MS scheme (i.e. the one-loop perturbative correction to the coupling is small) for all values of t/r; in the t/r → ∞ limit, the “qq̄ force” scheme is recovered, where the coupling constant is related to the q...

A first attempt to understand hadron dynamics at low energies in terms of the fundamental quark and gluon degrees of freedom incorporates the effects of the gluonic field into a potential depending only on the spatial positions of the quarks, which are considered in the infinite mass limit. A suitable framework for calculating such potentials between static quarks, i.e. a generalization of the ...
