We summarize the higher-loop perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim is to compare with results from lattice simulations in order to expose the genuinely non-perturbative content of the latter. By means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory we compute the ghost and gluon propagators in Landau gauge up to three and four loops. We present results in the infinite volume and $a to 0$ limits, based on a general fitting strategy.

This is the first of a series of two papers on the perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim is to eventually compare with results from lattice simulations in order to enlight the genuine ly non-perturbative content of the latter. By means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory we compute the ghost propagator in Landau gauge up to three loops. We present results in the infinite volume and $a to 0$ limits, based on a general strategy that we discuss in detail.
This is the second of two papers devoted to the perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Such a computation should enable a comparison with results from lattice simulations in order to reveal the genu inely non-perturbative content of the latter. The gluon propagator is computed by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory: results range from two up to four loops, depending on the different lattice sizes. The non-logarithmic constants for one, two and three loops are extrapolated to the lattice spacing $a to 0$ continuum and infinite volume $V to infty$ limits.
We address the issue of bound state in the two-nucleon system in lattice QCD. Our study is made in the quenched approximation at the lattice spacing of a = 0.128 fm with a heavy quark mass corresponding to m_pi = 0.8 GeV. To distinguish a bound state from an attractive scattering state, we investigate the volume dependence of the energy difference between the ground state and the free two-nucleon state by changing the spatial extent of the lattice from 3.1 fm to 12.3 fm. A finite energy difference left in the infinite spatial volume limit leads us to the conclusion that the measured ground states for not only spin triplet but also singlet channels are bounded. Furthermore the existence of the bound state is confirmed by investigating the properties of the energy for the first excited state obtained by 2x2 diagonalization method. The scattering lengths for both channels are evaluated by applying the finite volume formula derived by Luscher to the energy of the first excited states.
We perform a detailed, fully-correlated study of the chiral behavior of the pion mass and decay constant, based on 2+1 flavor lattice QCD simulations. These calculations are implemented using tree-level, O(a)-improved Wilson fermions, at four values of the lattice spacing down to 0.054 fm and all the way down to below the physical value of the pion mass. They allow a sharp comparison with the predictions of SU(2) chiral perturbation theory (chi PT) and a determination of some of its low energy constants. In particular, we systematically explore the range of applicability of NLO SU(2) chi PT in two different expansions: the first in quark mass (x-expansion), and the second in pion mass (xi-expansion). We find that these expansions begin showing signs of failure around M_pi=300 MeV for the typical percent-level precision of our N_f=2+1 lattice results. We further determine the LO low energy constants (LECs), F=88.0 pm 1.3pm 0.3 and B^msbar(2 GeV)=2.58 pm 0.07 pm 0.02 GeV, and the related quark condensate, Sigma^msbar(2 GeV)=(271pm 4pm 1 MeV)^3, as well as the NLO ones, l_3=2.5 pm 0.5 pm 0.4 and l_4=3.8 pm 0.4 pm 0.2, with fully controlled uncertainties. We also explore the NNLO expansions and the values of NNLO LECs. In addition, we show that the lattice results favor the presence of chiral logarithms. We further demonstrate how the absence of lattice results with pion masses below 200 MeV can lead to misleading results and conclusions. Our calculations allow a fully controlled, ab initio determination of the pion decay constant with a total 1% error, which is in excellent agreement with experiment.
In this contribution we present an exploratory study of several novel methods for numerical stochastic perturbation theory. For the investigation we consider observables defined through the gradient flow in the simple {phi}^4 theory.
