英文摘要：

We show that the logarithmic derivative of the gauge coupling on the hadronic mass and the cosmological constant term of a gauge theory are related to the gluon condensate of the hadron and the vacuum respectively. These relations are akin to Feynman-Hellmann relations whose derivation for the case at hand are complicated by the construction of the gauge theory Hamiltonian. We bypass this problem by using a renormalisation group equation for composite operators and the trace anomaly. The relations serve as possible definitions of the gluon condensates themselves which are plagued in direct approaches by power divergences. In turn these results might help to determine the contribution of the QCD phase transition to the cosmological constant and test speculative ideas.

Can the Feynman-Hellmann theorem be used to separate the connected- and disconnected-diagram contributions to the nucleon sigma term ?

In recent lattice QCD studies, the Feynman-Hellmann theorem is often used to estimate separate contributions of the connected and disconnected diagrams to the nucleon sigma term. We demonstrate through a simple analysis within an effective model of QCD why this could be dangerous although the theorem is naturally expected to hold for the sum of the two contributions, i.e. the net nucleon sigma term.

Generalised Parton Distributions from Lattice Feynman-Hellmann Techniques

We report on the use of Feynman-Hellmann techniques to calculate the off-forward Compton amplitude (OFCA) in lattice QCD. At leading-twist, the Euclidean OFCA is parameterised by the Mellin moments of generalised parton distributions (GPDs). Hence we extract GPD moments for two values of the soft momentum transfer, $t=-1.10, -2.20\;\text{GeV}^2$ and zero-skewness kinematics at an unphysical pion mass of $m_π\approx 470\;\text{MeV}$. This includes the first determination of the $n=4$ moments.

Feynman-Hellmann theorem for resonances and the quest for QCD exotica

The generalization of the Feynman-Hellmann theorem for resonance states in quantum field theory is derived. On the basis of this theorem, a criterion is proposed to study the possible exotic nature of certain hadronic states emerging in QCD. It is shown that this proposal is supported by explicit calculations in Chiral Perturbation Theory and by large-$N_c$ arguments. Analyzing recent lattice data on the quark mass dependence in the pseudoscalar, vector meson, baryon octet and baryon decuplet sectors, we conclude that, as expected, these are predominately quark-model states, albeit the correct…

Lattice QCD evaluation of the Compton amplitude employing the Feynman-Hellmann theorem

The forward Compton amplitude describes the process of virtual photon scattering from a hadron and provides an essential ingredient for the understanding of hadron structure. As a physical amplitude, the Compton tensor naturally includes all target mass corrections and higher twist effects at a fixed virtuality, $Q^2$. By making use of the second-order Feynman-Hellmann theorem, the nucleon Compton tensor is calculated in lattice QCD at an unphysical quark mass across a range of photon momenta $3 \lesssim Q^2 \lesssim 7$ GeV$^2$. This allows for the $Q^2$ dependence of the low moments of the nu…

On the Feynman-Hellmann Theorem in Quantum Field Theory and the Calculation of Matrix Elements

The Feynman-Hellmann theorem can be derived from the long Euclidean-time limit of correlation functions determined with functional derivatives of the partition function. Using this insight, we fully develop an improved method for computing matrix elements of external currents utilizing only two-point correlation functions. Our method applies to matrix elements of any external bilinear current, including nonzero momentum transfer, flavor-changing, and two or more current insertion matrix elements. The ability to identify and control all the systematic uncertainties in the analysis of the correl…

A Lattice Study of the Glue in the Nucleon

By introducing an additional operator into the action and using the Feynman-Hellmann theorem we describe a method to determine both the quark line connected and disconnected terms of matrix elements. As an illustration of the method we calculate the gluon contribution (chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic components) to the nucleon mass.

PREDICTING THE MASSES OF BARYONS CONTAINING ONE OR TWO HEAVY QUARKS

The Feynman-Hellmann theorem and semiempirical mass formulas are used to predict the masses of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. In particular, the mass of the $Λ_b$ is predicted to be $5620 \pm 40$ MeV, a value consistent with measurements.

Scaling relations for the entire spectrum in mass-deformed conformal gauge theories

We consider mass-deformed conformal gauge theories (mCGT) and investigate the scaling behaviour of hadronic observables as a function of the fermion mass. Applying renormalization group arguments directly to matrix elements, we find m_H ~ m^{1/(1+gamma*)} and F ~ m^{η_F(gamma*)} for the decay constants, thereby generalizing our results from a previous paper to the entire spectrum. We derive the scaling law m_H m^{1/(1+gamma*)} using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem, and thus provide a derivation which does not rely on renormalization group arguments. Using the new results we reiterate, on the phen…

Supercurrent anomaly and gauge invariance in N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

We analyse Feynman diagram calculational issues related to the quantum breaking of supercurrent conservation in a supersymmetric non-abelian Yang-Mills theory. For the sake of simplicity, we take a zero mass gauge field multiplet interacting with a massless Majorana spin-$1/2$ field in the adjoint representation of $SU(2)$. We shed light on a long-standing controversy regarding the perturbative evaluation of the supercurrent anomaly in connection with gauge and superconformal symmetry in different frameworks. We find that only superconformal symmetry is unambiguously broken using an invariant …

Chiral anomaly and unambiguous rational terms

Through more detailed calculations on QED$_{1+1}$ and QED$_{3+1}$ emplying a new treatment of Feynman Amplitudes, we attribute the regularization independent and hence definite origin of chiral anomaly in perturbation theory to an unambiguous term which is a rational function in momentum space. Some relevant remarks are presented.

A New Method to Predict Meson Masses

The Feynman--Hellmann theorem is used to show that vector meson energy eigenvalues are monotonically decreasing functions of the reduced masses of their constituent quarks. The experimental meson masses are used to put constraints on the values of quark masses and to predict the masses of some as yet undiscovered mesons. The mass of the $B_c^*$ meson is predicted to be $6320\pm 10$ MeV, and, with less precision, the masses of a number of excited vector mesons are also predicted.

Axial vector current anomaly problem without regularization in Dyson scheme

The loop momenta of a single Feynman diagram in momentum space can be assigned unambiguously within the 'Dyson scheme' without referring to the other Feynman diagrams in the complete set to some order of coupling constant for the certain process. This fact and the scheme which were provided in Dyson's original paper are applied to a typical relevant problem, i.e., the triangle diagrams of the 'axial vector current anomaly'. The calculation is done in four-dimension Minkowski space-time straightforwardly without the aid of any regularization. The linearly divergent terms are canceled sans incer…

Evaluation of pion-nucleon sigma term in Dyson-Schwinger equation approach of QCD

We calculate the variation of the chiral condensate in medium with respect to the quark chemical potential and evaluate the pion-nucleon sigma term via the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. The variation of chiral condensate in medium are obtained by solving the truncated Dyson-Schwinger equation for quark propagator at finite chemical potential, with different models for the quark-gluon vertex and gluon propagator. We obtain the value of the sigma term $σ_{πN}$ = 62(1)(2) MeV, where the first represents the systematic error due to our different model for the quark-gluon vertex and gluon propagator an…

The Triangle Anomaly in Triple-Regge Limits

Reggeized gluon interactions due to a single quark loop are studied in the full triple-regge limit and in closely related helicity-flip helicity-pole limits. Triangle diagram reggeon interactions are generated that include local axial-vector effective vertices. It is shown that the massless quark triangle anomaly is present as a chirality-violating infra-red divergence in the interactions generated by maximally non-planar Feynman diagrams. An asymptotic dispersion relation formalism is developed which provides a systematic counting of anomaly contributions. The asymptotic amplitude is written …

Calculating the anomalous supersymmetry breaking in Super-Yang-Mills theories with local coupling

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills-theories with local gauge coupling have a new type of anomalous breaking, which appears as a breaking of supersymmetry in the Wess-Zumino-gauge. The anomalous breaking generates the two-loop order of the gauge $β$-function in terms of the one-loop $β$-function and the anomaly coefficient. We determine the anomaly coefficient in the Wess-Zumino-gauge by solving the relevant supersymmetry identities. For this purpose we use a background gauge and show that the anomaly coefficient is uniquely determined by convergent one-loop integrals. When evaluating the one-loop diagr…

Muon Anomaly from Lepton Vacuum Polarization and The Mellin--Barnes Representation

We evaluate, analytically, a specific class of eighth--order and tenth--order QED contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. They are generated by Feynman diagrams involving lowest order vacuum polarization insertions of leptons $l=e,μ$, and $τ$. The results are given in the form of analytic expansions in terms of the mass ratios $m_e/m_μ$ and $m_μ/m_τ$. We compute as many terms as required by the error induced by the present experimental uncertainty on the lepton masses. We show how the Mellin--Barnes integral representation of Feynman parametric integrals allows for an easy …
