Perturbative lattice artefacts in the SF coupling for technicolor-inspired models

英文摘要：

Viable candidate theories for electroweak dynamical symmetry breaking are expected to show (near) conformal behaviour in order to accommodate current phenomenological constraints. In principle, renormalisation group studies using finite volume renormalisation schemes are well-suited to verify this property in a given model. The most practical schemes are based on the Schrodinger functional (SF), but suffer from potentially large O(a) effects. Some care has to be taken to remove these effects and to set up a scheme where cutoff effects are small and under control. We here take a step in this direction by analysing various set-ups for the SF coupling at one-loop order in perturbation theory.

A specific lattice artefact in non-perturbative renormalization of operators

We discuss a specific cut-off effect which appears in applying the non-perturbative RI/MOM scheme to compute the renormalization constants. To illustrate the problem a Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is used, but the arguments are more general. We propose a simple modification of the method which gets rid of the corresponding discretization error. Applying this to full-QCD simulations done at a=0.13 fm with the Fixed Point action we find that the renormalization constants are strongly distorted by the artefacts discussed. We consider also the role of global gauge transfo…

Perturbative corrections to technicolor

The full solution of technicolor (TC) Schwinger-Dyson equations should include radiative corrections induced by extended technicolor (ETC) (or other) interactions. We verify that when TC is embedded into a larger theory including also QCD, these radiative corrections couple the different strongly interacting Schwinger-Dyson equations, providing a tiny mass to technifermions and changing the ultraviolet behavior of the gap equation solution. We argue about the origin of the different quark masses without appealing for different ETC boson masses, in one scenario where most of the new physics wil…

Towards Weyl fermions on the lattice without artefacts

In spite of the breakthrough in non-perturbative chiral gauge theories during the last decade, the present formulation has stubborn artefacts. Independently of the fermion representation one is confronted with unwanted CP violation and infinitely many undetermined weight factors. Renormalization group identifies the culprit. We demonstrate the procedure on Weyl fermions in a real representation.

A Complete Lattice Technicolor Model

We construct a lattice gauge theory using reduced staggered fermions and gauge fields which provides a non-perturbative realization of a {\it complete} technicolor model; one which treats both strong and weakly coupled gauge sectors on an equal footing. We show that the model is capable of developing a Higgs phase at non zero lattice spacing via the formation of fermion condensates. We further show that while the broken symmetry associated with this phase has a vector character in the lattice theory it is realized as an axial symmetry in the continuum limit in agreement with the Vafa Witten th…

Technicolor and Lattice Gauge Theory

Technicolor and other theories of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking invoke chiral symmetry breaking triggered by strong gauge-dynamics, analogous to that found in QCD, to explain the observed W, Z, and fermion masses. In this talk we describe why a realistic theory of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking must, relative to QCD, produce an enhanced fermion condensate. We quantify the degree to which the technicolor condensate must be enhanced in order to yield the observed quark masses, and still be consistent with phenomenological constraints on flavor-changing neutral-currents. Lattic…

Clover fermions in the adjoint representation and simulations of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

Clover improvement is the standard choice for lattice simulations of QCD, when the lattice artefacts coming from Wilson fermions have to be reduced. However, the clover improvement is not limited to QCD, but can be applied to a wider range of theories with fermions in higher representations of the gauge group SU(N), like the adjoint fermions required by supersymmetry or by technicolor theories. We present the calculation of the clover coefficient up to one loop order with standard perturbation theory for these models. Applications of clover fermions to supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are also…

Egalitarian Improvement to Democracy: Quark renormalization constants in N_f=2 QCD

We present our results on the non-perturbative evaluation of the renormalization constant for the quark field, $Z_q$, in Landau gauge within RI-MOM scheme. Using three lattice spacing we are able to isolate lattice artefacts of various origin, both perturbative and non-perturbative. In particular, the existence of the dimension-two gluon-condensate is discussed, and confirmed.

Nonperturbative infrared fixed point in sextet QCD

The SU(3) gauge theory with fermions in the sextet representation is one of several theories of interest for technicolor models. We have carried out a Schrodinger functional (SF) calculation for the lattice theory with two flavors of Wilson fermions. We find that the discrete beta function changes sign when the SF renormalized coupling is in the neighborhood of g^2 = 2.0, showing a breakdown of the perturbative picture even though the coupling is weak. The most straightforward interpretation is an infrared-stable fixed point.

The running coupling from the QCD Schrödinger functional -- a one-loop analysis

Starting from the Schrödinger functional, we give a non-perturbative definition of the running coupling constant in QCD. The spatial boundary conditions for the quark fields are chosen such that the massless Dirac operator in the classical background field has a large smallest eigenvalue. At one-loop order of perturbation theory, we determine the matching coefficient to the $\MSbar$-scheme and discuss the quark mass effects in the $β$-function. To this order, we also compute the Symanzik improvement coefficient necessary to remove the $\Oa$ lattice artefacts originating from the boundaries. Fo…

SU(3) gauge theory with sextet fermions

SU(3) gauge theory coupled to N_f = 2 fermions in the sextet representation is a promising candidate for a technicolor inspired Standard Model extension. In this note the progress in the past few years aimed at understanding the non-perturbative properties of the model is reviewed. The main difficulties lying ahead in order to make robust conclusions from lattice simulations are outlined.

Moments of parton evolution probabilities on the lattice within the Schroedinger functional scheme

We define, within the Schroedinger functional scheme (SF), the matrix elements of the twist-2 operators corresponding to the first two moments of non-singlet parton densities. We perform a lattice one-loop calculation that fixes the relation between the SF scheme and other common schemes and shows the main source of lattice artefacts. This calculation sets the basis for a numerical evaluation of the non-perturbative running of parton densities.

SU(4) lattice gauge theory with decuplet fermions: Schrödinger functional analysis

We complete a program of study of SU(N) gauge theories coupled to two flavors of fermions in the two-index symmetric representation by performing numerical simulations in SU(4). The beta function, defined and calculated via the Schrödinger functional, runs more slowly than the two-loop perturbative result. The mass anomalous dimension levels off in strong coupling at a value of about 0.45, rendering this theory unsuitable for walking technicolor. A large-N comparison of this data with results from SU(2) and SU(3) reveals striking regularities.

An O(a) modified lattice set-up of the Schrödinger functional in SU(3) gauge theory

The set-up of the QCD Schrödinger functional (SF) on the lattice with staggered quarks requires an even number of points $L/a$ in the spatial directions, while the Euclidean time extent of the lattice, $T/a$, must be odd. Identifying a unique renormalisation scale, $L=T$, is then only possible up to O($a$) lattice artefacts. In this article we study such lattices in the pure SU(3) gauge theory, where we can also compare to the standard set-up. We consider the SF coupling as obtained from the variation of an SU(3) Abelian and spatially constant background field. The O($a$) lattice artefacts can…

The chiral phase transition for QCD with sextet quarks

QCD with 2 massless colour-sextet quarks is studied as a model of Walking Technicolor. We simulate lattice QCD with 2 light color-sextet staggered quarks at finite temperature, and use the dependence of the coupling at the chiral transition on the temporal extent, $N_t$, of the lattice in lattice units to study the running of the bare lattice coupling with lattice spacing. Our goal is to determine whether this theory is QCD-like and `walks', or if it is conformal. If it is QCD-like, the coupling at the chiral transition should tend to zero as $N_t \rightarrow \infty$ in a manner controlled by …

Ghost-gluon coupling, power corrections and $Λ_{\bar{\rm MS}}$ from lattice QCD with a dynamical charm

This paper is a first report on the determination of $Λ_{\msbar}$ from lattice simulations with 2+1+1 twisted-mass dynamical flavours {\it via} the computation of the ghost-gluon coupling renormalized in the MOM Taylor scheme. We show this approach allows a very good control of the lattice artefacts and confirm the picture from previous works with quenched and ${\rm N}_f$=2 twisted-mass field configurations which prove the necessity to include non-perturbative power corrections in the description of the running. We provide with an estimate of $Λ_{\msbar}$ in very good agreement with experiment…

Step Scaling with off-shell renormalisation

We make use of twisted boundary conditions for off-shell Rome-Southampton renormalisation. This allows to define the vertex function precisely, at a fixed physical momentum that need not be one of the Fourier modes of a simulation. This definition includes choosing the orientation with respect to lattice axes, and so lattice artefacts including ${\cal O}(4)$ breaking then have a valid Symanzik expansion. Excellent statistical precision is afforded by volume plane-wave sources, enabling both a theoretically and statistically clean continuum limit to be taken. Thereafter all $p^2$ dependence can…

Thermodynamics of lattice QCD with 2 sextet quarks on N_t=8 lattices

We continue our lattice simulations of QCD with 2 flavours of colour-sextet quarks as a model for conformal or walking technicolor. A 2-loop perturbative calculation of the $β$-function which describes the evolution of this theory's running coupling constant predicts that it has a second zero at a finite coupling. This non-trivial zero would be an infrared stable fixed point, in which case the theory with massless quarks would be a conformal field theory. However, if the interaction between quarks and antiquarks becomes strong enough that a chiral condensate forms before this IR fixed point is…
