Abstract

We suggest a Hamiltonian formulation on a momentum lattice using a physically motivated regularization using the Breit-frame which links the maximal parton number to the lattice size. This scheme restricts parton momenta to positive values in each spatial direction. This leads to a drastic reduction of degrees of freedom compared to a regularization in the rest frame (center at zero momentum). We discuss the computation of physical observables like (i) mass spectrum in the critical region, (ii) structure and distribution functions, (iii) $S$-matrix, (iv) finite temperature and finite density thermodynamics in the Breit-frame regularization. For the scalar $ϕ^{4}_{3+1}$ theory we present numerical results for the mass spectrum in the critical region. We observe scaling behavior for the mass of the ground state and for some higher lying states. We compare our results with renormalization group results by Lüscher and Weisz. Using the Breit-frame, we calculate for $QCD$ the relation between the $W^{μν}$ tensor, structure functions (polarized and unpolarized) and quark distribution functions. We use the improved parton-model with a scale dependence and take into account a non-zero parton mass. In the Bjorken limes we find the standard relations between $F_{1}$, $F_{2}$, $g_{1}$ and the quark distribution functions. We discuss the rôle of helicity. We present numerical results for parton distribution functions in the scalar model. For the $ϕ^{4}$-model we find no bound state with internal parton structure. For the $ϕ^{3}$-model we find a distribution function with parton structure similar to Altarelli-Parisi behavior of $QCD$.

Can multi-level Monte-Carlo address the sign problem in a finite-density Bose gas?

Numerical simulation of field theories with complex actions is frustrated by the sign problem, which causes an exponential growth in statistical sampling noise. A key example of such a theory is QCD at finite baryon chemical potential, which has important applications to the structure of atomic nuclei and neutron stars. Until now, the sign problem has precluded the possibility of first-principles numerical calculations that could provide key insight into these important physical systems. In this work, we propose an approach to avoiding this limitation by applying a reweighting procedure coupled with a multi-level Monte-Carlo sampling algorithm that offers an exponential enhancement of statistics to counteract the sign problem. We test the approach on a simpler model that displays the same sign problem at finite chemical potential. Our results demonstrate the promise of the proposed approach, significantly increasing the range over which precise calculations are possible, and providing improvements all the way up to the phase transition.

A Note On Lattice Definition of Gauge Theories With Chiral Fermions

Because of the fermion doubling problem, it has been a longstanding challenge to describe a lattice algorithm for studying four-dimensional gauge theories coupled to chiral fermions. Recently, an algorithm to do so has been described by Craig, extending partial results in the previous literature. Here we describe a variant of this algorithm, based on interpolating a lattice gauge field over the continuum (as in Craig's work) and coupling the interpolated gauge field to continuum chiral fermions. The same variant was also proposed recently by Hsu. In any dimension and for any anomaly-free representation, this approach can be implemented on a computer in principle, but not in practice by Monte Carlo methods because the chiral fermion path integral is not positive.

2+1 flavor light hadron spectrum with PACS10 configurations

We present the results for the hadron spectrum, the pseudoscalar meson decay constants, and the quark mass ratio in the continuum limit using the ``PACS10'' gauge configurations generated with the $O(a)$-improved Wilson quark action and the Iwasaki gauge action. Numerical simulations are carried out at three lattice spacings keeping the space-time volumes over (10 fm$)^4$ in 2+1 flavor QCD at the physical point. We calculate physical quantities with two choices of conventions to define pseudoexperimental values expected in the isosymmetric QCD. In order to investigate the finite size effects on the physical quantities we have additionally generated the (5.4 fm$)^4$ lattice at the coarsest lattice spacing of $a=0.08487(14)$~fm, which is a hypercube with half the length in each direction compared to the PACS10 configurations. While the finite size effect is hardly observed in comparison of the hadron effective masses on the (10.9 fm$)^4$ and (5.4 fm$)^4$ lattices, the results for the pseudoscalar meson decay constants show discrepancies beyond the error bars. The (5.4 fm$)^4$ lattice also serves for determining the expansion parameters of the pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants, and the octet baryon masses in terms of the quark masses around the physical point with the aid of the mass reweighting technique. The expansion parameters are used for the fine-tuning of the physical point employing the pseudoexperimental masses of the $π$ meson, $K$ meson, and the $Ξ$ baryon as physical inputs in each convention. We compare the results for the octet baryon masses and the pseudoscalar decay constants in the continuum limit with the corresponding pseudoexperimental values in both conventions. We also discuss the deviation between two results with different conventions. As for the quark mass ratio the result is compared with the recent FLAG summary.
