Transfer Matrix for Partially Quenched QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct the transfer matrix for the ghost sector of partially quenched QCD. This transfer matrix is not hermitian, but we show that it is still bounded. We thus expect that all euclidean correlation functions will decay exponentially with distance (up to possible powers), and demonstrate that this is indeed the case for free ghost quarks.

On the foundations of partially quenched chiral perturbation theory
It has been widely assumed that partially quenched chiral perturbation theory is the correct low-energy effective theory for partially quenched QCD. Here we present arguments supporting this assumption. First, we show that, for partially quenched QCD with staggered quarks, a transfer matrix can be constructed. This transfer matrix is not Hermitian, but it is bounded, and it can be used to const...
متن کاملFinite - Volume Partially - Quenched Two - Pion Amplitudes in the I = 0 Channel
We present a study of the finite-volume two-pion matrix elements and correlation functions of the I = 0 scalar operator, in full and partially quenched QCD, at one-loop order in chiral perturbation theory. In partially quenched QCD, when the sea and valence light quark masses are not equal, the lack of unitarity leads to the same inconsistencies as in quenched QCD and the matrix elements cannot...
متن کاملEffects of Quenching and Partial Quenching on Penguin Matrix Elements
In the calculation of non-leptonic weak decay rates, a “mismatch” arises when the QCD evolution of the relevant weak hamiltonian down to hadronic scales is performed in unquenched QCD, but the hadronic matrix elements are then computed in (partially) quenched lattice QCD. This mismatch arises because the transformation properties of penguin operators under chiral symmetry change in the transiti...

A partially quenched analysis of the η − η ′ system in N f = 2 QCD We report on a first, comprehensive partially quenched study of the η − η ′ problem, based on SESAM configuration on a 16 3 × 32 lattice at β = 5.6 QCD with two (mass degenerate) active sea quark flavours, N f = 2. By means of the spectral approximation of the two-loop (hairpin) diagrams, we find clear plateau formation in the e...

Using a chiral random matrix theory we can now derive the low energy partition functions and Dirac eigenvalue correlations of QCD with different chemical potentials for the dynamical and valence quarks. The results can also be extended to complex (and purely imaginary) chemical potential. We also discuss possible applications such as fitting to low energy constants and understanding the phase d...
