Improved actions and asymptotic scaling in lattice Yang-Mills theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Improved actions in SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theories are investigated with an emphasis on asymptotic scaling. A new scheme for tadpole improvement is proposed. The standard but heuristic tadpole improvement emerges from a mean field approximation from the new approach. Scaling is investigated by means of the large distance static quark potential. Both, the generic and the new tadpole scheme yield significant improvements on asymptotic scaling when compared with loop improved actions. A study of the rotational symmetry breaking terms, however, reveals that only the new improvement scheme efficiently eliminates the leading irrelevant term from the action.

Detection of Center Vortices in the Lattice Yang-Mills Vacuum
We discuss the implementation of the “direct” maximal center gauge (a gauge which maximizes the lattice average of the squared-modulus of the trace of link variables), and its use in identifying Z2 center vortices in Yang-Mills vacuum configurations generated by lattice Monte Carlo. We find that center vortices identified in the vacuum state account for the full asymptotic string tension. Scali...
متن کاملThe three - loop β function in SU ( N ) lattice gauge theories
The three-loop β function in SU(N) lattice gauge theories Abstract We calculate the third coefficient of the lattice β function in pure Yang-Mills theory. We make use of a computer code for solving perturbation theory analytically on the lattice. We compute the divergent integrals by using a method based on a Taylor expansion of the integrand in powers of the external momenta in 4 − ǫ dimension...

The relationship between the bare coupling and the cutoff is an essential ingredient in lattice calculations. Usual Monte Carlo simulations require the knowledge of this relationship far from the critical point, where corrections to asymptotic scaling could become relevant. In order to check the relevance of these scaling corrections, we present here a calculation of the first non-universal coe...
متن کاملConsistent power corrections to ultraviolet asymptotic solutions in Yang-Mills theory
We show that the 1/p2 power corrections to the ultraviolet asymptotic solutions are allowed as consistent solutions of the coupled Schwinger-Dyson equation for the gluon and (Faddeev-Popov) ghost propagators in Yang-Mills theory. This result supports the existence of the vacuum condensate 〈Aμ〉 with mass dimension 2, as recently suggested by the operator product expansion and lattice simulations...
متن کاملChaos and Scaling in Classical Non-Abelian Gauge Fields
Without an ultraviolet cut-off, the time evolution of the classical Yang-Mills equations give rise to a never ending cascading of the modes towards the ultraviolet, and ergodic measures and dynamical averages, such as the spectrum of characteristic Lyapunov exponents (measures of temporal chaos) or spatial correlation functions, are ill defined. A lattice regularization (in space) provides an u...
