The Lattice Schrödinger Functional and the Background Field Effective Action
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new method that by using the lattice Schrödinger functional allows to investigate the effective action for external background fields in lattice gauge theories. We show that this method gives sensible results for the case of four-dimensional U(1) gauge theory in an external constant magnetic field.

Properties of the renormalized quark mass in the Schrödinger functional with a non–vanishing background field
We compute the current quark mass in the Schrödinger functional with a non–vanishing background field at one loop order of perturbation theory. The results are used to obtain the critical mass at which the renormalized quark mass vanishes, and some lattice artefacts at one loop order.
متن کاملMagnetic Properties and Phase Transitions in a Spin-1 Random Transverse Ising Model on Simple Cubic Lattice
Within the effective-field theory with correlations (EFT), a transverse random field spin-1 Ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. The phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization, internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.
متن کاملThe Schrödinger Functional for Improved Gluon and Quark Actions
The Schrödinger functional (quantum/lattice field theory with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is a powerful tool in the non-perturbative improvement and for the study of other aspects of lattice QCD. Here we adapt it to improved gluon and quark actions, on isotropic as well as anisotropic lattices. Specifically, we describe the structure of the boundary layers, obtain the exact form of the class...
متن کاملTwo loop lattice expansion of the Schrödinger functional coupling in improved QCD
The contributions of the improved fermion action of Sheikholeslami and Wohlert to the two loop coefficient of the expansion of the Schrödinger functional coupling in terms of the lattice coupling are calculated for the gauge group SU(3). These coefficients are required for the second order relation of lattice data to the MS-coupling. By taking into account all improvement coefficients we are ab...
متن کاملThe Schrödinger functional in lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry
Similarly to the interaction lagrangian, the possible boundary conditions in quantum field theories on space-time manifolds with boundaries are strongly constrained by the symmetry and scaling properties of the theory. Based on this general insight, a lattice formulation of the QCD Schrödinger functional is proposed for the case where the lattice Dirac operator in the bulk of the lattice coinci...
