Renormalization constants of vector ($Z_V$) and axial-vector ($Z_A$) currents are determined non-perturbatively in quenched QCD for a renormalization group improved gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action using the Schrodinger functional method. Non-perturbative values of $Z_V$ and $Z_A$ turn out to be smaller than the one-loop perturbative values by $O(10%)$ at $a^{-1}approx 1$ GeV. A sizable scaling violation of meson decay constants $f_pi$ and $f_rho$ observed with the one-loop renormalization factors remains even with non-perturbative renormalization.
Renormalization constants ($Z$-factors) of vector and axial-vector currents are determined non-perturbatively in quenched QCD for a renormalization group improved gauge action and a tadpole improved clover quark action using the Schrodinger functiona
l method. Non-perturbative values of $Z$-factors turn out to be smaller than one-loop perturbative values by $O(15%)$ at lattice spacing of $a^{-1}approx$ 1 GeV. The pseudoscalar and vector meson decay constants calculated with the non-perturbative $Z$-factors show a much better scaling behavior compared to previous results obtained with tadpole improved one-loop $Z$-factors. In particular, the non-perturbative $Z$-factors normalized at infinite physical volume show that scaling violation of the decay constants are within about 10% up to the lattice spacing $a^{-1}sim 1$ GeV. The continuum estimates obtained from data in the range $a^{-1}=$ 1 -- 2 GeV agree with those determined from finer lattices ($a^{-1}sim 2-4$ GeV) with the standard action.
We apply non-perturbative renormalization to bilinears composed of improved staggered fermions. We explain how to generalize the method to staggered fermions in a way which is consistent with the lattice symmetries, and introduce a new type of lattic
e bilinear which transforms covariantly and avoids mixing. We derive the consequences of lattice symmetries for the propagator and vertices. We implement the method numerically for hypercubic-smeared (HYP) and asqtad valence fermion actions, using lattices with asqtad sea quarks generated by the MILC collaboration. We compare the non-perturbative results so obtained to those from perturbation theory, using both scale-independent ratios of bilinears (of which we calculate 26), and the scale-dependent bilinears themselves. Overall, we find that one-loop perturbation theory provides a successful description of the results for HYP-fermions if we allow for a truncation error of roughly the size of the square of the one-loop term (for ratios) or of size O(1) times alpha^2 (for the bilinears themselves). Perturbation theory is, however, less successful at describing the non-perturbative asqtad results.
We present our progress in the non-perturbative O(a) improvement and renormalization of tensor currents in three-flavor lattice QCD with Wilson-clover fermions and tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action. The mass-independent O(a) improvement facto
r of tensor currents is determined via a Ward identity approach, and their renormalization group running is calculated via recursive finite-size scaling techniques, both implemented within the Schrodinger functional framework. We also address the matching factor between bare and renormalization group invariant currents for a range of lattice spacings < 0.1 fm, relevant for phenomenological large-volume lattice QCD applications.
We study the finite-temperature phase structure and the transition temperature of QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks on a lattice with the temporal size $N_t=4$, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action im
proved by the clover term. The region of a parity-broken phase is identified, and the finite-temperature transition line is located on a two-dimensional parameter space of the coupling ($beta=6/g^2$) and hopping parameter $K$. Near the chiral transition point, defined as the crossing point of the critical line of the vanishing pion mass and the line of finite-temperature transition, the system exhibits behavior well described by the scaling exponents of the three-dimensional O(4) spin model. This indicates a second-order chiral transition in the continuum limit. The transition temperature in the chiral limit is estimated to be $T_c = 171(4)$ MeV.
We propose a new strategy for the determination of the QCD coupling. It relies on a coupling computed in QCD with $N_{rm f} geq 3$ degenerate heavy quarks at a low energy scale $mu_{rm dec}$, together with a non-perturbative determination of the rati
o $Lambda/mu_{rm dec}$ in the pure gauge theory. We explore this idea using a finite volume renormalization scheme for the case of $N_{rm f} = 3$ QCD, demonstrating that a precise value of the strong coupling $alpha_s$ can be obtained. The idea is quite general and can be applied to solve other renormalization problems, using finite or infinite volume intermediate renormalization schemes.
