In this paper, we investigate the HAL QCD potential in the $I=1$ $pi pi$ scattering using the hybrid method for all-to-all propagators, in which a propagator is approximated by low-eigenmodes and the remaining high-eigenmode part is stochastically estimated. To verify the applicability of the hybrid method to systems containing quark creation$/$annihilation contributions such as the $rho$ meson, we calculate the $I=1$ $pipi$ potential with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a approx 0.12$ fm and $(m_{pi},m_{rho}) approx (870, 1230)$ MeV, in which the $rho$ meson appears as a deeply-bound state. While we find that the naive stochastic evaluations for quark creation$/$annihilation contributions lead to extremely large statistical fluctuations, additional noise reduction methods enable us to obtain a sufficiently precise potential, which shows a strong attractive force. We also confirm that the binding energy and $k^3 cot delta$ obtained from our potential are roughly consistent with an existing $rho$ meson bound state, within a large systematic error associated with our calculation, whose possible origin is also discussed.

We investigate the $I=1$ $pi pi$ interaction using the HAL QCD method in lattice QCD. We employ the (2+1)-flavor gauge configurations on $32^3 times 64$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a approx 0.0907$ fm and $m_{pi} approx 411$ MeV, in which the $rho$ meson appears as a resonance state. We find that all-to-all propagators necessary in this calculation can be obtained with reasonable precision by a combination of three techniques, the one-end trick, the sequential propagator, and the covariant approximation averaging (CAA). The non-local $I=1$ $pi pi$ potential is determined at the next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO) of the derivative expansion for the first time, and the resonance parameters of the $rho$ meson are extracted. The obtained $rho$ meson mass is found to be consistent with the value in the literature, while the value of the coupling $g_{rho pi pi}$ turns out to be somewhat larger. The latter observation is most likely attributed to the lack of low-energy information in our lattice setup with the center-of-mass frame. Such a limitation may appear in other P-wave resonant systems and we discuss possible improvement in future. With this caution in mind, we positively conclude that we can reasonably extract the N$^2$LO potential and resonance parameters even in the system requiring the all-to-all propagators in the HAL QCD method, which opens up new possibilities for the study of resonances in lattice QCD.
In this paper, we perform the first application of the hybrid method (exact low modes plus stochastically estimated high modes) for all-to-all propagators to the HAL QCD method. We calculate the HAL QCD potentials in the $I=2$ $pipi$ scattering in order to see how statistical fluctuations of the potential behave under the hybrid method. All of the calculations are performed with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a approx 0.12$ fm and $m_{pi} approx 870$ MeV. It is revealed that statistical errors for the potential are enhanced by stochastic noises introduced by the hybrid method, which, however, are shown to be reduced by increasing the level of dilutions, in particular, that of space dilutions. From systematic studies, we obtain a guiding principle for a choice of dilution types/levels and a number of eigenvectors to reduce noise contaminations to the potential while keeping numerical costs reasonable. We also confirm that we can obtain the scattering phase shifts for the $I=2$ $pipi$ system by the hybrid method within a reasonable numerical cost, which are consistent with the result obtained with the conventional method. The knowledge we obtain in this study will become useful to investigate hadron resonances which require quark annihilation diagrams such as the $rho$ meson by the HAL QCD potential with the hybrid method.
The $I=1$ $p$-wave and $I=2$ $s$-wave elastic $pi$-$pi$ scattering amplitudes are calculated from a first-principles lattice QCD simulation using a single ensemble of gauge field configurations with $N_{mathrm{f}} = 2+1$ dynamical flavors of anisotropic clover-improved Wilson fermions. This ensemble has a large spatial volume $V=(3.7mathrm{fm})^3$, pion mass $m_{pi} = 230mathrm{MeV}$, and spatial lattice spacing $a_s = 0.11mathrm{fm}$. Calculation of the necessary temporal correlation matrices is efficiently performed using the stochastic LapH method, while the large volume enables an improved energy resolution compared to previous work. For this single ensemble we obtain $m_{rho}/m_{pi} = 3.350(24)$, $g_{rhopipi} = 5.99(26)$, and a clear signal for the $I=2$ $s$-wave. The success of the stochastic LapH method in this proof-of-principle large-volume calculation paves the way for quantitative study of the lattice spacing effects and quark mass dependence of scattering amplitudes using state-of-the-art ensembles.
Theoretical errors in the extraction of alpha from B -> pi^+ pi^-, rho^+ rho^-, rho pi decays are usually given in terms of upper bounds on alpha_eff-alpha obtained from isospin or from SU(3) relations, where alpha_eff is measured through CP asymmetries. We show that mild assumptions about magnitudes and strong phases of penguin and tree amplitudes (|P/T| < 1 and |delta| < pi/2) in B -> pi pi and B -> rho rho, imply alpha_eff > alpha, thus reducing by a factor two the error in alpha. Similarly, the assumptions |p_+-/t_+-| < 1, |delta_-| < pi/2 <|delta_+| in B -> rho pi lead to a cancellation between two terms in alpha_eff-alpha. Current data support these conditions.
A formalism is given to hermitize the HAL QCD potential, which needs to be non-hermitian except the leading order (LO) local term in the derivative expansion as the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave functions for different energies are not orthogonal to each other. It is shown that the non-hermitian potential can be hermitized order by order to all orders in the derivative expansion. In particular, the next-to-leading order (NLO) potential can be exactly hermitized without approximation. The formalism is then applied to a simple case of $Xi Xi (^{1}S_{0}) $ scattering, for which the HAL QCD calculation is available to the NLO. The NLO term gives relatively small corrections to the scattering phase shift and the LO analysis seems justified in this case. We also observe that the local part of the hermitized NLO potential works better than that of the non-hermitian NLO potential. The hermitian version of the HAL QCD potential is desirable for comparing it with phenomenological interactions and also for using it as a two-body interaction in many body systems.
