We define the energy-momentum tensor on lattice for the $λϕ^4$ and for the nonlinear $σ$-model Symanzik tree-improved actions, using Ward identities or an explicit matching procedure. The resulting operators give the correct one loop scale anomaly, and in the case of the sigma model they can have applications in Monte Carlo simulations.
We report on the determination of the deconfining temperature in SU(3) pure gauge theory, using the Symanzik tree level improved action, on lattices of size 3 x 12^3, 4 x 16^3, 5 x 20^3, 6 x24^3. We find that the asymptotic scaling violation pattern is similar to the one observed using the Wilson action. We conclude that the irrelevant operators do not affect, in the range of couplings considered, the lattice beta function. An analysis based on an effective coupling formulation shows an apparent improvement.
In this work we compute the leading logarithmic corrections to the b -> s gamma decay in a dimensional scheme which does not require any definition of the gamma5 matrix. The scheme does not exhibit unconsistencies and it is therefore a viable alternative to the t'Hooft Veltman scheme, particularly in view of the next-to-leading computation. We confirm the recent results of Ciuchini et al.
We compute the next to leading QCD corrections to weak four fermion interactions introducing a scheme that does not require an explicit definition of $γ_5$ in $d$ dimensions. This scheme reduces greatly the difficulties in calculating the two loop anomalous dimensions; we recover the results obtained in the previous literature.
