Ghost-gluon running coupling, power corrections and the determination of $Λ_{\bar {\rm MS}}$

We compute a formula including OPE power corrections to describe the running of a QCD coupling non-perturbatively defined through the ghost and gluon dressing functions. This turns out to be rather accurate. We propose the ``{\it plateau}''-procedure to compute $Λ_{\bar{\rm MS}}$ from the lattice computation of the running coupling constant. We show a good agreement between the different methods which have been used to estimate $Λ_{\bar{\rm MS}}^{N_f=0}$. We argue that $Λ_{\bar{\rm MS}}$ or the strong coupling constant computed with different lattice spacings may be used to estimate the lattice spacing ratio.

Two body scattering length of Yukawa model on a lattice

The extraction of scattering parameters from Euclidean simulations of a Yukawa model in a finite volume with periodic boundary conditions is analyzed both in non relativistic quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory.

Yukawa model on a lattice: two body states

We present first results of the solutions of the Yukawa model as a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) solved non perturbatively with the help of lattice calculations. In particular we will focus on the possibility of binding two nucleons in the QFT, compared to the non relativistic result.

Nuclear models on a lattice

We present the first results of a quantum field approach to nuclear models obtained by lattice techniques. Renormalization effects for fermion mass and coupling constant in case of scalar and pseudoscalar interaction lagrangian densities are discussed.

Instanton traces in lattice gluon correlation functions

Strong coupling constant computed in Landau gauge and MOM renormalization scheme from lattice two and three gluon Green Functions exhibits an unexpected behavior in the deep IR, showing a maximum value around $1 {\rm GeV}$. We analise this coupling below this maximum within a semiclassical approach, were gluon degrees of freedom at very low energies are described in terms of the classical solutions of the lagrangian, namely instantons. We provide some new results concerning the relationship between instantons and the low energy dynamics of QCD, by analising gluon two- and three-point Green functions separately and with the help of a cooling procedure to eliminate short range correlations.

Modified instanton profile effects from lattice Green functions

We trace here instantons through the analysis of pure Yang-Mills gluon Green functions in the Landau gauge for a window of IR momenta (0.4 GeV $< k < 0.9$ GeV). We present lattice results that can be fitted only after substituting the BPST profile in the Instanton liquid model (ILM) by one based on the Diakonov and Petrov variational methods. This also leads us to gain information on the parameters of ILM.

The strong coupling constant at small momentum as an instanton detector

We present a study of $α_{MOM}(p)$ at small p computed from the lattice. It shows a dramatic $\propto p^4$ law which can be understood within an instanton liquid model. In this framework the prefactor gives a direct measure of the instanton density in thermalised configurations. A preliminary result for this density is 5.27(4) fm^{-4}.

A transparent expression of the A^2-Condensate's renormalisation

We give a more transparent understanding of the vacuum expectation value of the renormalised local operator A^2 by relating it to the gluon propagator integrated over the momentum. The quadratically divergent perturbative contribution is subtracted and the remainder, dominantly due to the O(1/p^2) correction to the perturbative propagator at large p^2 is logarithmically divergent. This provides a transparent derivation of the fact that this O(1/p^2) term is related to the vacuum expectation value of the local A^2 operator and confirms a previous claim based on the operator product expansion (OPE) of the gluon propagator. At leading logarithms the agreement is quantitative, with a standard running factor, between the local A^2 condensate renormalised as described above and the one renormalised in the OPE context.

O.P.E. and Power Corrections to the QCD coupling constant

Lattice data seems to show that power corrections should be convoked to describe appropriately the transition of the QCD coupling constant running from U.V. to I.R. domains. Those power corrections for the Landau-gauge MOM coupling constant in a pure Yang-Mills theory (N_f=0) are analysed in terms of Operator Product Expansion (O.P.E.) of two- and three-point Green functions, the gluon condensate emerging from this study. The semi-classical picture given by instantons can be also used to look for into the nature of the power corrections and gluon condensate.

An Instanton Picture O.P.E. Condensate?

Gluon two- and three-point Green Functions computed in Landau gauge from the lattice show the existence of power corrections to the purely perturbative expressions, that can be explained through an Operator Product Expansion as the influence of a non gauge invariant mass dimension two condensate. The relationship of this condensate with topological properties of QCD, namely instantons, will be studied, giving a first estimate of the contribution of instantons to this condensate based in the direct lattice measure, after a cooling process, of the instanton liquid properties.

Instantons and $ $ Condensate

We argue that the $ $ condensate found in the Landau gauge on lattices, when an Operator Product Expansion of Green functions is performed, might be explained by instantons. We use cooling to estimate the instanton contribution and extrapolate back the result to the thermalised configuration. The resulting $ $ is similar to $ $.

OPE and Powers corrections on the QCD coupling constant

The running coupling constant can be estimated by computing gluon two- and three-point Green functions from the lattice. Computing in lattice implies working in a fixed gauge sector (Landau). An source of systematic uncertainty is then the contribution of non gauge-invariant condensates, as $ $, generating power corrections that might still be important at very high energies. We study the impact of this gluon condensate on the analysis of gluon propagator and vertex lattice data and on the estimate of $Λ_{\bar{\rm MS}}$. We finally try a qualitative description of this gluon condensate through the instanton picture

Remarks on the determination of the Landau gauge OPE for the Asymmetric three gluon vertex

We compute a compact OPE formula describing power corrections to the perturbative expression for the asymmetric $\widetilde{MOM}$-renormalized running coupling constant up to the leading logarithm. By the use of the phenomelogical hypothesis leading to the factorization of the condensates through a perturbative vacuum insertion, the only relevant condensate in the game is $ $. The validity of the OPE formula is tested by searching for a good-quality coherent description of previous lattice evaluations of $\widetilde{MOM}$-renormalized gluon propagator and running coupling.
