Realization of all-to-all fermion propagator for the first principle high accuracy strong interaction prediction

We propose a ``blending" algorithm that projects the all-to-all fermion propagator onto spatial low-frequency modes (LFM) combines the projection with a stochastic estimate of spatial high-frequency modes (SHFM) at each time slice. This approach enables the calculation of correlation functions at arbitrary points for arbitrary hadron states in strongly interacting quantum field theories (QFT) with fermions, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Specifically, LFM allows the construction of spatially extended hadron states below a certain energy threshold by diagonalizing multi-fermion interpolation fields. Meanwhile, the local interactions required for N-point correlation functions in QFT can be approximated in an unbiased manner through a reweighted summation of both LFM and SHFM contributions. To demonstrate the efficiency of this algorithm, we obtained $g_A^u=0.8408(86)$, $g_A^d= -0.3929(86)$, $g_A^s=-0.0381(57)$, $g_A^{u+d+s}=0.410(20)$ and $g_A^{u-d}=1.2337(84)$ for the nucleon at $m_π=135$ MeV and $a=0.077$ fm using 41 configurations. We also provide a consistency check of the pion electric form factor and charge radius derived from 3-point and 4-point correlation functions is also provided.

Precision determination of nucleon iso-vector scalar and tensor charges at the physical point

We report a high precision calculation of the isospin vector charge $g_{S,T}$ of the nucleon using recently proposed ``blending" method which provides a high-precision stochastic estimate of the all-to-all fermion propagator. Through multiplying the current operator by the traditional nucleon interpolator, we create a new operator that captures the major excited state contaminations. The linear combination of this new operator and traditional nucleon interpolator reduces these excited states and improves the robustness of the multi-state fit. Using 15 $N_f=2+1$ lattice ensembles which cover 5 lattice spacing, 5 combinations with the same quark masses and lattice spacing but multiple volumes, including three at the physical pion mass, we report so far most precise lattice QCD prediction $g_T^{\rm QCD} = 1.0264[77]_{\rm tot}(53)_{\rm stat} (13)_{a} (46)_{\rm FV} (01)_χ(28)_{\rm ex} (04)_{\rm re}$ and $g_S^{\rm QCD} = 1.106[43]_{\rm tot}(31)_{\rm stat} (03)_{a} (28)_{\rm FV} (01)_χ(08)_{\rm ex} (08)_{\rm re}$ at $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ 2~GeV, with the systematic uncertainties from continuum, infinite volume, chiral extrapolations, excited state contamination and also renormalization.

Quark masses and low energy constants in the continuum from the tadpole improved clover ensembles

We present the light-flavor quark masses and low energy constants using the 2+1 flavor full-QCD ensembles with stout smeared clover fermion action and Symanzik gauge actions. Both the fermion and gauge actions are tadpole improved self-consistently. The simulations are performed on 11 ensembles at 3 lattice spacings $a\in[0.05,0.11]$ fm, 4 spatial sizes $L\in[2.5, 5.1]$ fm, 7 pion masses $m_π\in[135,350]$ MeV, and several values of the strange quark mass. The quark mass is defined through the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) relation and renormalized to $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ 2 GeV through the intermediate regularization independent momentum subtraction (RI/MOM) scheme. The systematic uncertainty of using the symmetric momentum subtraction (SMOM) scheme is also included. Eventually, we predict $m_u=2.45(22)(20)$ MeV, $m_d=4.74(11)(09)$ MeV, and $m_s=98.8(2.9)(4.7)$ MeV with the systematic uncertainties from lattice spacing determination, continuum extrapolation and renormalization constant included. We also obtain the chiral condensate $Σ^{1/3}=268.6(3.6)(0.7)$ MeV and the pion decay constant $F=86.6(7)(1.4) $ MeV in the $N_f=2$ chiral limit, and the next-to-leading order low energy constants $\ell_3=2.43(54)(05)$ and $\ell_4=4.322(75)(96)$.
