Unbiased Krylov subspace method for the extraction of ground state from lattice correlators

Ground-state energy and matrix element are reconstructed from correlators in lattice QCD by diagonalizing transfer matrix $\hat{T}$ within the Krylov subspace spanned by $\hat{T}^n|χ\rangle$, where $|χ\rangle$ is a state generated by an interpolating field on the lattice. In numerical applications, this strategy is spoiled by statistical noise. To circumvent the problem, we introduce a low-rank approximation based on a singular-value decomposition of a matrix made of the correlators. The associated bias is eliminated by an extrapolation to the limit of vanishing variance of energy eigenvalue. The strategy is tested using a set of mock data as well as real data of $K$ and $D_s$ meson correlators.

Spectral reconstruction from Euclidean lattice correlators through singular value decomposition

Reconstructing spectral densities from Euclidean lattice correlators requires an inverse Laplace transform, which is inherently ill-conditioned when applied to numerical data with statistical uncertainties. The maximum amount of information that can be extracted from the imaginary-time dependence of correlators can be characterized by the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the kernel function $\exp(-ωt)$ defined on discrete sets of imaginary times $t$ and energies $ω$. The SVD provides orthogonal basis functions in both the $t$- and $ω$-spaces, while the singular values determine the magnitude of their contributions to the correlators. By retaining only the components associated with the largest singular values, for which the correlator data remain statistically significant, one can reconstruct smeared spectral functions with controlled uncertainties. The systematic error arising from the truncation can also be bounded under reasonable assumptions. In the limit where the ranges of $t$ and $ω$ become infinitely large and continuous, the SVD basis approaches the Mellin transform, allowing a representation of the smeared spectrum that is independent of the details of the lattice parameters.

Recent update of nucleon axial-vector charge with the PACS10 superfine lattice

We update the results of the nucleon axial-vector charge with the third ensemble of the PACS10 gauge configurations, which are generated by the PACS Collaboration at the physical point with lattice volume larger than $(10\;{\rm fm})^4$ and three different lattice spacings, 0.085 fm (coarse), 0.063 fm (fine) and 0.041 fm (superfine). Although the results of the first two ensembles generated at the coarse and fine lattice spacings are published, our study using the third one generated at the superfine lattice spacing is still underway. In this work, the low-energy relations arising from the partially conserved axial-vector current (PCAC) relation are also examined in terms of the nucleon three-point functions to verify whether the lattice QCD data correctly reproduces the physics in the continuum within the statistical accuracy.

Method for high-precision determination of the nucleon axial structure using lattice QCD: Removing $πN$-state contamination

We performed a precise calculation of physical quantities related to the axial structure of the nucleon using 2+1 flavor lattice QCD gauge configuration (PACS10 configuration) generated at the physical point with lattice volume larger than $(10\;{\mathrm{fm}})^4$ by the PACS Collaboration. The nucleon matrix element of the axial-vector current has two types of the nucleon form factors, the axial-vector ($F_A$) form factor and the induced pseudoscalar ($F_P$) form factor. Recently lattice QCD simulations have succeeded in reproducing the experimental value of the axial-vector coupling, $g_A$, determined from $F_A(q^2)$ at zero momentum transfer $q^2=0$, at a percent level of statistical accuracy. However, the $F_P$ form factor so far has not reproduced the experimental values well due to strong $πN$ excited-state contamination. Therefore, we proposed a simple subtraction method for removing the so-called leading $πN$-state contribution, and succeeded in reproducing the values obtained by two experiments of muon capture on the proton and pion electro-production for $F_P(q^2)$. The novel approach can also be applied to the nucleon pseudoscalar matrix element to determine the pseudoscalar ($G_P$) form factor with the help of the axial Ward-Takahashi identity. The resulting form factors, $F_P(q^2)$ and $G_P(q^2)$, are in good agreement with the prediction of the pion-pole dominance model. In the new analysis, the induced pseudoscalar coupling $g_P^\ast$ and the pion-nucleon coupling $g_{πNN}$ can be evaluated with a few percent accuracy including systematic uncertainties using existing data calculated at two lattice spacings.

Investigating the axial structure of the nucleon based on large-volume lattice QCD at the physical point

We present a short summary for the calculations of the nucleon $\textit{isovector}$ form factors, which are relevant to improving the accuracy of the current neutrino oscillation experiments. The calculations are carried out with two of three sets of the $2+1$ flavor lattice QCD configurations generated at the physical point in large spatial volumes by the PACS Collaboration. The two gauge configurations are generated with the six stout-smeared $O(a)$ improved Wilson quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at the lattice spacing of $0.09$ fm and $0.06$ fm. We summarize the results for three form factors as well as the nucleon axial-vector ($g_A$), induced pseudoscalar ($g_P^*$) and pion-nucleon ($g_{πNN}$) couplings. Although our couplings agree with the experimental data, a firm conclusion should be drawn only after a continuum limit extrapolation is taken. We investigate the partially conserved axial-vector current (PCAC) relation in the context of the nucleon correlation functions. The low-energy relations arising from the PCAC relation can be used to verify whether the lattice QCD data correctly reproduce the physics in the continuum within the statistical accuracy. It is demonstrated that our $\textit{new analysis}$ reduces the systematic uncertainty for the induced pseudoscalar and pseudoscalar form factors to a greater extent than the $\textit{traditional analysis}$, and the results offer a theoretical insight into the pion-pole dominance model. Finally, we examine the applicable $q^2$ region for the low-energy relations.

A proposal for removing $πN$-state contamination from the nucleon induced pseudoscalar form factor in lattice QCD

In the PACS10 project, the PACS collaboration has generated three sets of the PACS10 gauge configurations at the physical point with lattice volume larger than $(10\;{\rm fm})^4$ and three different lattice spacings. The isovector nucleon form factors had been already calculated by using two sets of the PACS10 gauge configurations. In our strategy, the smearing parameters of the nucleon interpolation operator were highly optimized to eliminate as much as possible the contribution of excited states in the nucleon two-point function. This strategy was quite successful in calculations of the electric ($G_E$), magnetic ($G_M$) and axial-vector ($F_A$) form factors, while the induced pseudoscalar ($F_P$) and pseudoscalar ($G_P$) form factors remained strongly affected by residual contamination of $πN$-state contribution. In this work, we propose a simple method to remove the $πN$-state contamination from the $F_P$ form factor, and then evaluate the induced pseudoscalar charge $g_P^\ast$ and the pion-nucleon coupling $g_{πNN}$ from existing data in a new analysis. Applying this method to the $G_P$ form factor is also considered with a help of the axial Ward-Takahashi identity.

Studies of nucleon isovector structure with the PACS10 superfine lattice

We present the results for the nucleon axial-vector, induced pseudoscalar and pion-nucleon couplings obtained from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD at the physical point with a large spatial extent of about 10 fm. Our calculations are performed with the PACS10 gauge configurations generated by the PACS Collaboration with the six stout-smeared $O(a)$ improved Wilson-clover quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at $β$ = 1.82, 2.00 and 2.20 corresponding to lattice spacings of 0.09 fm (coarse), 0.06 fm (fine) and 0.04 fm (superfine), respectively. We first evaluate the value of the nucleon axial-vector coupling. In addition, the induced pseudoscalar and pion-nucleon couplings from the induced pseudoscalar form factor are also investigated. Combining the results obtained from the all of our coarse, fine and superfine lattices, we finally discuss the systematic uncertainties in our calculation based on the comparison with both of the experimental values and lattice QCD results provided by the other collaborations.

Proton decay matrix elements on PACS configurations

We report the preliminary results of lattice computation for the proton decay matrix elements in $N_f=2+1$ physical point with Wilson-clover fermion. We perform it on the PACS configurations of $64^4$ lattice volume with lattice spacing $a=0.085$ fm, and carefully estimate the systematic uncertainties, especially for the excited state contamination and associated error of the renormalization constant with Regularization Independent (RI, Rome-Southampton) scheme. Our preliminary results of the twelve relevant transition modes in proton decay matrix element and comparison with other lattice results are presented.

Nucleon form factors in $N_f=2+1$ lattice QCD at the physical point : finite lattice spacing effect on the root-mean-square radii

We present results for the nucleon form factors: electric ($G_E$), magnetic ($G_M$), axial ($F_A$), induced pseudoscalar ($F_P$) and pseudoscalar ($G_P$) form factors, using the second PACS10 ensemble that is one of three sets of $2+1$ flavor lattice QCD configurations at physical quark masses in large spatial volumes (exceeding $(10\ \mathrm{fm})^3$). The second PACS10 gauge configurations are generated by the PACS Collaboration with the six stout-smeared $O(a)$ improved Wilson quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at the second gauge coupling $β=2.00$ corresponding to the lattice spacing of $a=0.063$ fm. We determine the isovector electric, magnetic and axial radii and magnetic moment from the corresponding form factors, as well as the axial-vector coupling $g_A$. Combining our previous results for the coarser lattice spacing [E. Shintani et al., Phys. Rev. D99 (2019) 014510; Phys. Rev. D102 (2020) 019902 (erattum)], the finite lattice spacing effects on the isovector radii, magnetic moment and axial-vector coupling are investigated using the difference between the two results. It was found that the effect on $g_A$ is kept smaller than the statistical error of 2% while the effect on the isovector radii was observed as a possible discretization error of about 10%, regardless of the channel. We also report the partially conserved axial vector current (PCAC) relation using a set of nucleon three-point correlation functions in order to verify the effect by $O(a)$-improvement of the axial-vector current.

Discretization effects on nucleon root-mean-square radii from lattice QCD at the physical point

We present results for the axial-vector coupling and root-mean-square (RMS) radii of the nucleon obtained from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD at the physical point with a large spatial extent of about 10 fm. Our calculations are performed with the PACS10 gauge configurations generated by the PACS Collaboration with the six stout-smeared $O(a)$ improved Wilson-clover quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at $β$ = 1.82 and 2.00 corresponding to lattice spacings of 0.085 fm and 0.063 fm, respectively. We first evaluate the value of the axial-vector coupling of the nucleon ($g_A$). In addition, the isovector electric, magnetic and axial radii and magnetic moment from the corresponding form factors are also determined. Combining the results at $β=1.82$ and $2.00$, we finally discuss the finite lattice spacing effect. It was found that the effect on $g_A$ is kept smaller than the statistical error of 2% while the effect on the isovector radii was observed as a possible discretization error of about 10%, regardless of the channel.

Towards the continuum limit of nucleon form factors at the physical point using lattice QCD

We present results for the axial charge and root-mean-square (RMS) radii of the nucleon obtained from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD at the physical point with a large spatial extent of about 10 fm. Our calculations are performed with the PACS10 gauge configurations generated by the PACS Collaboration with the six stout-smeared $O(a)$ improved Wilson-clover quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at $β$ = 1.82 and 2.00 corresponding to lattice spacings of 0.085 fm and 0.063 fm respectively. We first evaluate the value of $g_A/g_V$ , which is not renormalized in the continuum limit and thus ends up with the renormalized axial charge. Moreover, we also calculate the nucleon elastic form factors and determine three kinds of isovector RMS radii such as electric, magnetic and axial ones at the two lattice spacings. We finally discuss the discretization uncertainties on renormalized axial charge and isovector RMS radii towards the continuum limit.

Nucleon isovector couplings in Nf = 2 + 1 lattice QCD at the physical point

We present results for the scalar and tensor isovector-couplings ($g_S$ and $g_T$) of the nucleon measured at the physical point ($M_π=135$ MeV) with a single lattice spacing of $0.085\ \mathrm{fm}$ in 2+1 flavor QCD. Our calculations are carried out with two ensembles of gauge configurations generated by the PACS Collaboration with nonperturbatively ${\cal O}(a)$ improved Wilson quark action and Iwasaki gauge action on $(10.9\ {\rm fm})^4$ and $(5.5\ {\rm fm})^4$ lattices, where the finite-size effect on the nucleon mass was not shown at the level of the statistical precision less than 0.5%. We compute the nucleon three-point correlation functions in the vector, axial, scalar, and tensor channels. We confirm that our previous result of the nucleon axial coupling on the large spatial volume of $(10.9\ {\rm fm})^4$ has no finite-size effect at the level of the statistical precision of 1.9%. For the renormalization, we first renormalize $g_S$ and $g_T$ nonperturbatively using the RI/SMOM$_{(γ_μ)}$ scheme, a variant of Rome-Southampton RI/MOM scheme with reduced systematic errors, as the intermediate scheme. We evaluate our final results at the renormalization scale of 2 GeV in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme through matching procedure between the RI/SMOM$_{(γ_μ)}$ and $\overline{\rm MS}$ schemes with the help of perturbation theory, and then obtain $g_S=0.927(71)_{\rm stat}(22)_{\rm syst}$ and $g_T=1.036(6)_{\rm stat}(20)_{\rm syst}$.

Nucleon isovector tensor charge from lattice QCD with physical light quarks

We present preliminary results for the axial, scalar and tensor charges of the nucleon measured in 2+1 flavor QCD with the physical light quarks ($m_π=135$ MeV). Our simulations are carried out with gauge configurations generated by the PACS Collaboration with the stout-smeared $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions and Iwasaki gauge action at a single lattice spacing of $0.085\ (\mathrm{fm})$. There are two lattice ensembles of the PACS gauge configurations, which have physical lattice sizes over $(10\ \mathrm{fm})^4$ and $(5\ \mathrm{fm})^4$, respectively. We compute the nucleon three-point correlation functions in the axial, scalar, and tensor channels. For the renormalization, we use the Rome-Southampton method as the intermediate scheme in order to evaluate the renormalization constants for the scalar and tensor currents in fully nonperturbative manner. We then evaluate the renormalized values of the scalar and tensor charges ($g_S$ and $g_T$) in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme at the renormalization scale of 2 GeV with a help of the continuum perturbation theory for the matching between two schemes. We compare our preliminary results of $g_S$ and $g_T$ with those of other collaboration results.

The lower moments of nucleon structure functions in lattice QCD with physical quark masses

We present results for the nucleon structure functions and form factors obtained from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD with physical light quark masses ($m_π=135$ MeV) in a large spatial extent of about 10 fm. Our calculations are performed with the PACS10 gauge configurations generated by the PACS Collaboration with the six stout-smeared ${\mathscr{O}}(a)$ improved Wilson-clover quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at $β=1.82$ and $2.00$ corresponding to lattice spacings of $0.085$ fm and $0.064$ fm respectively. The lower moments of structure functions, $\langle x \rangle_{u-d}$ and $\langle x \rangle_{Δu - Δd}$ given by the twist-2 operators being properly renormalized, are evaluated in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme at the renormalization scale of 2 GeV only at $β=1.82$, since the renormalization factors at $β=2.00$ have not yet determined nonperturbatively in the RI/MOM scheme. Instead, at two lattice spacings, we evaluate appropriate ratios of $g_{A}/g_{V}$ and $\langle x \rangle_{u-d}/\langle x \rangle_{Δu -Δd}$, which are not renormalized in the continuum limit. These quantities thus can be directly compared with the experimental data without the renormalization.
