JLQCD's dynamical overlap project

Abstract

We present an overview of our project of large-scale simulations with dynamical overlap fermions. The first production run in two-flavor QCD is on-going using the Iwasaki gauge action on a 16^3 \times 32 lattice at the lattice spacing of 0.12fm with six sea quark masses down to m_{s,phys}/6, where m_{s,phys} is the physical strange quark mass. We briefly introduce our choice of the lattice action and simulation algorithm, and describe the present status of the production run. Preliminary results on the light meson masses and the static quark potential are also reported.

Predicting the spectrum and decay constants of positive-parity heavy-strange mesons using domain-wall fermions

We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the masses and decay constants of the positive-parity heavy-strange mesons $D^*_{s0}$, $D_{s1}$, $B^*_{s0}$, and $B_{s1}$. The calculations are performed with domain-wall fermions for the light and strange quarks and an anisotropic clover action for the charm and bottom quarks. We use seven different RBC/UKQCD ensembles with pion masses ranging from a near-physical 139 MeV up to 431 MeV. We consider two different analysis types, with or without two-meson operators at the source. We observe the expected below-threshold ground states. The fits without the two-meson operators appear to be more stable, but may overestimate the ground-state energies, while preliminary fits with two-meson operators at the source only appear to underestimate the ground-state energies.

Properties of the positive and negative parity charm-strange and bottom-strange mesons $D_s$, $D_s^*$, $D_{s0}^*$, $D_{s1}$, $B_s$, $B_s^*$, $B_{s0}^*$, $B_{s1}$ from lattice QCD: masses, decay constants, and compositeness

We present a lattice-QCD determination of properties of the lightest scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector heavy-strange mesons. This includes the decay constants of all mesons, and the binding energies and Weinberg compositeness parameters of the positive-parity states. The calculations are performed with domain-wall fermions for the light and strange quarks and anisotropic clover actions for the charm and bottom quarks. We use seven ensembles generated by RBC/UKQCD with pion masses ranging from 431 MeV to 139 MeV and lattice spacings ranging from 0.114 fm to 0.073 fm, which allows us to perform combined chiral and continuum extrapolations. For the negative-parity mesons, we obtain $f_{D_s}=251.4(2.1)(0.4)(2.5)\:{\rm MeV}$, $f_{D_s^*}=272.5(4.3)(1.0)(2.7)\:{\rm MeV}$, $f_{B_s}=228.4(5.8)(0.5)(2.3)\:{\rm MeV}$, $f_{B_s^*}=229.2(4.4)(0.8)(2.3)\:{\rm MeV}$, $f_{D_s^*}/f_{D_s}=1.086(14)(11)$, and $f_{B_s^*}/f_{B_s}=1.003(22)(10)$. In the positive-parity sector, the finite-volume energies and decay constants are extracted using the GEVP from correlation matrices with three different types of hadron interpolating operators, including operators with covariant derivatives and meson-meson-scattering operators at both source and sink. After extrapolation to the physical point, we obtain $f_{D^*_{s0}}=136.6 (8.0)(4.0)(1.4)$ MeV, $f_{D_{s1}}=200 (33)(24)(2)$ MeV, $f_{B^*_{s0}}=207 (12)(8)(2)$ MeV, and $f_{B_{s1}}= 196 (16)(11)(2)$ MeV. Our results for $f_{B^*_{s0}}$ and $f_{B_{s1}}$ are the first from lattice QCD. Lüscher's method is used to find the infinite-volume bound-state masses. At the physical point, we obtain $m_{D^*_{s0}}-m_D-m_K=-48 (14)(4)$ MeV, $m_{D_{s1}}-m_{D^*}-m_K=-61 (15)(2)$ MeV, $m_{B^*_{s0}}-m_B-m_K= -69 (13)(4)$ MeV, and $m_{B_{s1}}-m_{B^*}-m_K=-77 (10)(5)$ MeV. Our analysis shows consistency with the positive-parity states being predominantly molecular.

Realization of all-to-all fermion propagator for the first principle high accuracy strong interaction prediction

We propose a ``blending" algorithm that projects the all-to-all fermion propagator onto spatial low-frequency modes (LFM) combines the projection with a stochastic estimate of spatial high-frequency modes (SHFM) at each time slice. This approach enables the calculation of correlation functions at arbitrary points for arbitrary hadron states in strongly interacting quantum field theories (QFT) with fermions, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Specifically, LFM allows the construction of spatially extended hadron states below a certain energy threshold by diagonalizing multi-fermion interpolation fields. Meanwhile, the local interactions required for N-point correlation functions in QFT can be approximated in an unbiased manner through a reweighted summation of both LFM and SHFM contributions. To demonstrate the efficiency of this algorithm, we obtained $g_A^u=0.8408(86)$, $g_A^d= -0.3929(86)$, $g_A^s=-0.0381(57)$, $g_A^{u+d+s}=0.410(20)$ and $g_A^{u-d}=1.2337(84)$ for the nucleon at $m_π=135$ MeV and $a=0.077$ fm using 41 configurations. We also provide a consistency check of the pion electric form factor and charge radius derived from 3-point and 4-point correlation functions is also provided.
