We investigate the chiral properties of quenched domain-wall QCD (DWQCD) at the lattice spacings $a^{-1} simeq 1$ and 2 GeV for both plaquette and renormalization-group (RG) improved gauge actions. In the case of the plaquette action we find that the quark mass defined through the axial Ward-Takahashi identity remains non-vanishing in the DWQCD chiral limit that the bare quark mass $m_fto 0$ and the length of the fifth dimension $N_stoinfty$, indicating that chiral symmetry is not realized with quenched DWQCD up to $a^{-1} simeq 2$ GeV. The behavior is much improved for the RG-improved gauge action: while a non-vanishing quark mass remains in the chiral limit at $a^{-1}simeq 1$ GeV, the result at $a^{-1}simeq 2$ GeV is consistent with an exponentially vanishing quark mass in the DWQCD chiral limit, indicating the realization of exact chiral symmetry. An interpretation and implications are briefly discussed.

Quenched QCD simulations on three volumes, $8^3 times$, $12^3 times$ and $16^3 times 32$ and three couplings, $beta=5.7$, 5.85 and 6.0 using domain wall fermions provide a consistent picture of quenched QCD. We demonstrate that the small induced effects of chiral symmetry breaking inherent in this formulation can be described by a residual mass ($mres$) whose size decreases as the separation between the domain walls ($L_s$) is increased. However, at stronger couplings much larger values of $L_s$ are required to achieve a given physical value of $mres$. For $beta=6.0$ and $L_s=16$, we find $mres/m_s=0.033(3)$, while for $beta=5.7$, and $L_s=48$, $mres/m_s=0.074(5)$, where $m_s$ is the strange quark mass. These values are significantly smaller than those obtained from a more naive determination in our earlier studies. Important effects of topological near zero modes which should afflict an accurate quenched calculation are easily visible in both the chiral condensate and the pion propagator. These effects can be controlled by working at an appropriately large volume. A non-linear behavior of $m_pi^2$ in the limit of small quark mass suggests the presence of additional infrared subtlety in the quenched approximation. Good scaling is seen both in masses and in $f_pi$ over our entire range, with inverse lattice spacing varying between 1 and 2 GeV.
We report on a calculation of $B_K$ with domain wall fermion action in quenched QCD. Simulations are made with a renormalization group improved gauge action at $beta=2.6$ and 2.9 corresponding to $a^{-1}approx 2$GeV and 3GeV. Effects due to finite fifth dimensional size $N_5$ and finite spatial size $N_sigma$ are examined in detail. Matching to the continuum operator is made perturbatively at one loop order. We obtain $B_K(mu = 2 GeV)= 0.5746(61)(191)$, where the first error is statistical and the second error represents an estimate of scaling violation and ${cal O}(alpha^2)$ errors in the renormalization factor added in quadrature, as an estimate of the continuum value in the $msbar$ scheme with naive dimensional regularization. This value is consistent, albeit somewhat small, with $B_K(mu = 2 {GeV})= 0.628(42)$ obtained by the JLQCD Collaboration using the Kogut-Susskind quark action. Results for light quark masses are also reported.
We calculate non-perturbative renormalization factors at hadronic scale for $Delta S=2$ four-quark operators in quenched domain-wall QCD using the Schr{o}dinger functional method. Combining them with the non-perturbative renormalization group running by the Alpha collaboration, our result yields the fully non-perturbative renormalization factor, which converts the lattice bare $B_K$ to the renormalization group invariant (RGI) $hat{B}_K$. Applying this to the bare $B_K$ previously obtained by the CP-PACS collaboration at $a^{-1}simeq 2, 3, 4$ GeV, we obtain $hat{B}_K=0.782(5)(7)$ (equivalent to $B_K^{bar{rm MS}}({rm NDR}, 2 {rm GeV}) = 0.565(4)(5)$ by 2-loop running) in the continuum limit, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic due to the continuum extrapolation. Except the quenching error, the total error we have achieved is less than 2%, which is much smaller than the previous ones. Taking the same procedure, we obtain $m_{u,d}^{rm RGI}=5.613(66)$ MeV and $m_s^{rm RGI}=147.1(17)$ MeV (equivalent to $m_{u,d}^{bar{rm MS}}(2 {rm GeV})=4.026(48)$ MeV and $m_{s}^{bar{rm MS}}(2 {rm GeV})=105.6(12)$ MeV by 4-loop running) in the continuum limit.
We present a quenched lattice calculation of the weak nucleon form factors: vector (F_V(q^2)), induced tensor (F_T(q^2)), axial-vector (F_A(q^2)) and induced pseudo-scalar (F_P(q^2)) form factors. Our simulations are performed on three different lattice sizes L^3 x T=24^3 x 32, 16^3 x 32 and 12^3 x 32 with a lattice cutoff of 1/a = 1.3 GeV and light quark masses down to about 1/4 the strange quark mass (m_{pi} = 390 MeV) using a combination of the DBW2 gauge action and domain wall fermions. The physical volume of our largest lattice is about (3.6 fm)^3, where the finite volume effects on form factors become negligible and the lower momentum transfers (q^2 = 0.1 GeV^2) are accessible. The q^2-dependences of form factors in the low q^2 region are examined. It is found that the vector, induced tensor, axial-vector form factors are well described by the dipole form, while the induced pseudo-scalar form factor is consistent with pion-pole dominance. We obtain the ratio of axial to vector coupling g_A/g_V=F_A(0)/F_V(0)=1.219(38) and the pseudo-scalar coupling g_P=m_{mu}F_P(0.88m_{mu}^2)=8.15(54), where the errors are statistical erros only. These values agree with experimental values from neutron beta decay and muon capture on the proton. However, the root mean squared radii of the vector, induced tensor and axial-vector underestimate the known experimental values by about 20%. We also calculate the pseudo-scalar nucleon matrix element in order to verify the axial Ward-Takahashi identity in terms of the nucleon matrix elements, which may be called as the generalized Goldberger-Treiman relation.
We present a quenched lattice calculation of the nucleon isovector vector and axial-vector charges gV and gA. The chiral symmetry of domain wall fermions makes the calculation of the nucleon axial charge particularly easy since the Ward-Takahashi identity requires the vector and axial-vector currents to have the same renormalization, up to lattice spacing errors of order O(a^2). The DBW2 gauge action provides enhancement of the good chiral symmetry properties of domain wall fermions at larger lattice spacing than the conventional Wilson gauge action. Taking advantage of these methods and performing a high statistics simulation, we find a significant finite volume effect between the nucleon axial charges calculated on lattices with (1.2 fm)^3 and (2.4 fm)^3 volumes (with lattice spacing, a, of about 0.15 fm). On the large volume we find gA = 1.212 +/- 0.027(statistical error) +/- 0.024(normalization error). The quoted systematic error is the dominant (known) one, corresponding to current renormalization. We discuss other possible remaining sources of error. This theoretical first principles calculation, which does not yet include isospin breaking effects, yields a value of gA only a little bit below the experimental one, 1.2670 +/- 0.0030.
