Interglueball potential in lattice SU(N) gauge theories

The dynamics of the glueballs is important in the context of the experimental search as well as for understanding the non-Abelian gauge theory. The glueballs of the dark $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory are also good candidates of dark matter. In this proceedings contribution, we report on the result of the lattice calculation of the interglueball potential of the Yang-Mills theory with the color numbers $N_c=2,3,4$, with a detailed inspection of the systematics due to the discretization.

Dark matter scattering cross section and dynamics in dark Yang-Mills theory

We calculate for the first time the scattering cross section between lightest glueballs in $SU(2)$ pure Yang-Mills theory, which are good candidates of dark matter. In the first step, we evaluate the interglueball potential on lattice using the HAL QCD method, with several lattice spacings ($β= 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4$, and 2.5). The systematics associated with nonzero angular momentum effect is removed by subtracting the centrifugal force. The statistical accuracy is improved by employing the cluster-decomposition error reduction technique and by using all space-time symmetries. We then determine the low energy glueball effective Lagrangian and the scattering cross section at low energy, which is compared with the observational constraint on the dark matter self-scattering. We derive the lower bound on the scale parameter of the $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory, as $Λ> 60$ MeV.

Glueball scattering cross section in lattice SU(2) Yang-Mills theory

We calculate the scattering cross section between two $0^{++}$ glueballs in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory on lattice at $β= 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4$, and 2.5 using the indirect (HAL QCD) method. We employ the cluster-decomposition error reduction technique and use all space-time symmetries to improve the signal. In the use of the HAL QCD method, the centrifugal force was subtracted to remove the systematic effect due to nonzero angular momenta of lattice discretization. From the extracted interglueball potential we determine the low energy glueball effective theory by matching with the one-glueball exchange process. We then calculate the scattering phase shift, and derive the relation between the interglueball cross section and the scale parameter $Λ$ as $σ_{ϕϕ} = (2 - 51) Λ^{-2}$ (stat.+sys.). From the observational constraints of galactic collisions, we obtain the lower bound of the scale parameter, as $Λ> 60$ MeV. We also discuss the naturalness of the Yang-Mills theory as the theory explaining dark matter.

The use of the canonical approach in effective models of QCD

We clarify regions where the canonical approach works well at the finite temperature and density in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and Polyakov-NJL (PNJL) models. The canonical approach is a useful method for avoiding the sign problem in lattice QCD simulations at finite density, but it involves some parameters. We find that number densities computed from the canonical approach are consistent with exact values in most of the confinement phase within the parameters, which are applicable in lattice QCD.

Interglueball potential in SU(N) lattice gauge theory

We report on our calculation of the interglueball potentials in SU(2), SU(3), and SU(4) lattice Yang-Mills theories using the indirect (so-called HAL QCD) method. We use the cluster decomposition error reduction technique to improve the statistical accuracy of the glueball correlators. After calculating the glueball scattering cross section in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory and combining with the observational data of the dark matter mass distributions, we derive the lower limit on the scale parameter.

Search of QCD phase transition points in the canonical approach of the NJL model

We study the Lee-Yang zeros in the canonical approach to search phase transition points at finite temperature and density in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model as an effective model of QCD. The canonical approach is a promising method to avoid the sign problem in lattice QCD at finite density. We find that a set of Lee-Yang zeros computed with finite degrees of freedom can be extrapolated to those with infinite degrees of freedom, providing the correct phase transition point. We propose the present method as a useful method for actual lattice simulations for QCD.

Nature of the $a_1$ meson in lattice quantum chromodynamics studied with chiral fermions

We study the $a_1$ meson using a quenched lattice quantum chromodynamics simulation with the truncated overlap fermions formalism based on the domain wall fermions. The obtained lightest mass of the $a_1$ meson, 1272(45) MeV, is consistent with the experimental value for $a_1$(1260). Thus, $a_1$(1260) can be identified to have a simple two-body constituent-quark structure. Our quenched simulation result of $a_1$(1420) can not explain the experimental mass value, which suggests $a_1$(1420) is not a simple $q\bar{q}$ two quark state.

Chiral Symmetry and hadron properties at finite temperature -A numerical experiment

We study the hadron properties at finite temperature from measurement of the screening masses, using two-flavor full QCD of the hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm with the renormalization group improved Iwasaki gauge action and the clover improved Wilson quark action on a $16^3 \times 4$ lattice. We explore rather heavy quark mass regions. Disconnected quark diagram is dropped. We observe the tendency that the screening masses in all the channels degenerate, which is in accord with the effective restoration of U$_{\rm A}$(1) symmetry, and then eventually approach 2$πT$, i.e. the free quark value. In the low temperature region below pseudocritical temperature $T_c$, the screening masses in all the channels decrease. We discuss the different features between these calculations and the previous ones.

Lattice QCD study of four-quark components of the isosinglet scalar mesons: Significance of disconnected diagrams

We study the possible significance of four-quark states in the iso-singlet scalar mesons ($J^{PC}=0^{++}$, $I=0$) by performing two-flavor full lattice QCD simulations on an $8^3 \times 16$ lattice using the improved gauge action and the clover-improved Wilson quark action. In particular, we evaluate the propagators of molecular and tetra-quark operators together with singly disconnected diagrams. In the computation of the singly disconnected diagrams we employ the $Z_2$-noise method with the truncated eigenmode approach. We show that the quark loops given by the disconnected diagrams play an essential role in propagators of tetraquark and molecular operators.

Analysis of the scalar mesons on the Lattice

We study the possibility that the scalar mesons exist as four-quark states. The energy shift of two pseudoscalar mesons as a function of spatial lattice size makes a distinction between bound states and scattering states of four-quark states. We calculate the four-quark state in the quenched approximation, ignoring the two-quark annihilation diagrams and the vacuum channels. We perform a calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, using N_f=2 Wilson fermion and plaquette/Iwasaki gauge actions. We obtain the indication that the four-quark states in the case of the isospin zero (I=0) and two (I=2) channels are no bound states. And we find that the bound energy depends strongly on pion mass rather than the ratio of pion mass to rho meson mass.
