One loop renormalization for the axial Ward - Takahashi identity in Domain - wall QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate one-loop correction to the axial Ward-Takahashi identity given by Furman and Shamir in domain-wall QCD. It is shown perturbatively that the renormalized axial Ward-Takahashi identity is satisfied without fine tuning and the “conserved” axial current receives no renormalization, giving ZA = 1. This fact will simplify the calculation of the pion decay constant in numerical simulations since the decay constant defined by this current needs no lattice renormalization factor.

Nucleon axial charge from quenched lattice QCD with domain wall fermions and DBW2 gauge action
The domain wall fermion (DWF) method, with its almost perfectly preserved chiral symmetry on the lattice, makes the calculation of the nucleon axial charge particularly easy. By maintaining chiral symmetry and using the Ward-Takahashi (WT) identity, one has ZA = ZV and the bare lattice calculation yields the physical value without explicit renormalization. The DBW2 improved gauge action provide...
متن کاملNucleon axial charge from quenched lattice QCD with domain wall fermions
Abstract We present a quenched lattice calculation of the nucleon isovector vector and axial-vector charges g V and g A . The chiral symmetry of domain wall fermions makes the calculation of the nucleon axial charge particularly easy since the Ward-Takahashi identity requires the vector and axialvector currents to have the same renormalization, up to lattice spacing errors of order O(a2). The D...
متن کاملDomain Wall Fermions in Quenched Lattice QCD
We study the chiral properties and the validity of perturbation theory for domain wall fermions in quenched lattice QCD at β = 6.0. The explicit chiral symmetry breaking term in the axial Ward-Takahashi identity is found to be very small already at Ns = 10, where Ns is the size of the fifth dimension, and its behavior seems consistent with an exponential decay in Ns within the limited range of ...

We study the quenched lattice QCD using domain-wall fermions at β = 6.0. Behaviors of both pion mass and the explicit breaking term in the axial Ward-Takahashi identity support the existence of the chiral zero modes. We observe a good agreement between the pion decay constants fπ from both the conserved axial current and the local current perturbatively renormalized at 1-loop. Finally the possi...
متن کاملThe vector and axial currents in Wilson chiral perturbation theory
We reconsider the construction and matching of the vector and axial currents in Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT), the low-energy effective theory for lattice QCD with Wilson fermions. In particular, we discuss in detail the impact of the finite renormalization of the currents on their matching from the lattice theory to WChPT. We explicitly show that imposing chiral Ward-Takahashi iden...
