Partially quenched chiral perturbation theory in the epsilon regime at next-to-leading order

چکیده
We calculate the partition function of partially quenched chiral perturbation theory in the epsilon regime at next-to-leading order using the supersymmetry formulation developed by Sharpe and Shoresh. We include a nonzero imaginary chemical potential and show that the finite-volume corrections to the low-energy constants Σ and F for the partially quenched partition function, and hence for spectral correlation functions of the Dirac operator, are the same as for the unquenched partition function. We briefly comment on how to minimize these corrections in lattice simulations of QCD. As a side result, we show that the zero-momentum integral in the formulation of Sharpe and Shoresh agrees with previous results from random matrix theory.

Electromagnetic Properties of the Baryon Decuplet in Quenched and Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory
Abstract We calculate electromagnetic properties of the decuplet baryons in quenched and partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. We work at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, leading order in the heavy baryon expansion, and obtain expressions for the magnetic moments, charge radii, and electric quadrupole moments. The quenched calculation is shown to be pathological since onl...
متن کاملObserving Chiral Nonanalytic Behavior with FLIC Fermions
First results from lattice QCD revealing the chiral nonanalytic behavior of nucleon and ∆ baryon magnetic moments are presented. Numerical simulations in the light quark mass regime employing the nonperturbatively O(a)-improved conserved vector current are enabled via FLIC fermions. Quenched chiral perturbation theory for the nucleon and ∆ magnetic moments is derived to next to next to leading ...
متن کاملThe Low Energy Constants of SU ( 2 ) Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory from N f = 2 + 1 Domain Wall QCD
We have performed fits of the pseudoscalar masses and decay constants, from a variety of RBCUKQCD domain wall fermion ensembles, to SU(2) partially quenched chiral perturbation theory at next-to leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO). We report values for 9 NLO and 8 linearly independent combinations of NNLO partially quenched low energy constants, which we compare to othe...
متن کاملChiral perturbation theory for twisted mass QCD
Quantum Chromodynamics on a lattice with Wilson fermions and a chirally twisted mass term for two degenerate quark flavours is considered in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The pion masses and decay constants are calculated in next-to-leading order including terms linear in the lattice spacing a. We treat both unquenched and partially quenched QCD. We also discuss the phase structu...
متن کاملTesting chiral effective theory with quenched lattice QCD
We investigate two-point correlation functions of left-handed currents computed in quenched lattice QCD with the Neuberger-Dirac operator. We consider two lattice spacings a ≃ 0.09, 0.12 fm and two different lattice extents L ≃ 1.5, 2.0 fm; quark masses span both the pand the ǫ-regimes. We compare the results with the predictions of quenched chiral perturbation theory, with the purpose of testi...
