Chiral forms and three-flavor operators for staggered baryons
نویسنده
چکیده
In staggered QCD, many staggered baryons correspond to each physical state. Taste violations lift the continuum degeneracies of the baryons and introduce nonzero off-diagonal elements in the mass matrix. While presenting no problem of principle, these splittings and mixings complicate analyses of simulation results. However, in special cases operators with good SU(3) quantum numbers can be used to circumvent the splittings and mixings. I review what has been learned from staggered chiral perturbation theory, outline a program of attack for the amenable cases, and summarize the present status of work on the staggered chiral forms and operators with good SU(3)×GTS quantum numbers.

Staggered Lattice Artifacts in 3-Flavor Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
Motivated by simulation results for octet and decuplet baryon masses using 2+1 flavors of light staggered quarks, we are incorporating staggered lattice artifacts into heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, calculating the masses of various staggered baryons, and studying the connection between the staggered baryons of the chiral theory and the staggered baryons of simulations. We present O(m...
متن کاملPartial Flavor Symmetry Restoration for Chiral Staggered Fermions
We study the leading discretization errors for staggered fermions by first constructing the continuum effective Lagrangian including terms of O(a2), and then constructing the corresponding effective chiral Lagrangian. The terms of O(a2) in the continuum effective Lagrangian completely break the SU(4) flavor symmetry down to the discrete subgroup respected by the lattice theory. We find, however...

We study the strong coupling limit of the one-flavor and two-flavor massless 't Hooft models, large − N c-color QCD 2 , on a lattice. We use staggered fermions and the Hamiltonian approach to lattice gauge theories. We show that the one-flavor model is effectively described by the antiferro-magnetic Ising model, whose ground state is the vacuum of the gauge model in the infinite coupling limit;...
متن کاملBaryons in Chiral Constituent Quark Model
Beyond the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of three constituent quarks with an effective confining interaction and a flavor-spin chiral interaction that is mediated by the octet of Goldstone bosons (pseudoscalar mesons) between the constituent quarks. One cannot exclude, however, the possibility that this flavor-spin interacti...

We discuss how to formulate a staggered chiral perturbation theory (S χ PT). This amounts to a generalization of the Lee-Sharpe Lagrangian to include more than one flavor (i.e., multiple staggered fields), which turns out to be nontrivial. One loop corrections to pion and kaon masses and decay constants are computed as examples in three cases: the quenched, partially quenched, and full (unquenc...
