Spectral Functions, Maximum Entropy Method and Unconventional Methods in Lattice Field Theory

We present two unconventional methods of extracting information from hadronic 2-point functions produced by Monte Carlo simulations. The first is an extension of earlier work by Leinweber which combines a QCD Sum Rule approach with lattice data. The second uses the Maximum Entropy Method to invert the 2-point data to obtain estimates of the spectral function. The first approach is applied to QCD data, and the second method is applied to the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model in (2+1)D. Both methods promise to augment the current approach where physical quantities are extracted by fitting to pure exponentials.

Functional Forms for Lattice Correlators at Small Times

The analytic form of the lattice quark propagator is used to derive the functional form for short distance mesonic correlators. These are then used to calculate ``Continuum Model'' Ansatze which comprise of a pole, representing the ground state, plus a contribution for the excited states, coming from the short distance behaviour. These are compared to Monte Carlo data.
