Spatially non-local matrix elements are useful lattice-QCD observables in a variety of contexts, for example in determining hadron structure. To quote credible estimates of the systematic uncertainties in these calculations, one must understand, among other things, the size of the finite-volume effects when such matrix elements are extracted from numerical lattice calculations. In this work, we estimate finite-volume effects for matrix elements of non-local operators, composed of two currents displaced in a spatial direction by a distance $xi$. We find that the finite-volume corrections depend on the details of the matrix element. If the external state is the lightest degree of freedom in the theory, e.g.~the pion in QCD, then the volume corrections scale as $ e^{-m_pi (L- xi)} $, where $m_pi$ is the mass of the light state. For heavier external states the usual $e^{- m_pi L}$ form is recovered, but with a polynomial prefactor of the form $L^m/|L - xi|^n$ that can lead to enhanced volume effects. These observations are potentially relevant to a wide variety of observables being studied using lattice QCD, including parton distribution functions, double-beta-decay and Compton-scattering matrix elements, and long-range weak matrix elements.

We present a model-independent framework to determine finite-volume corrections of matrix elements of spatially-separated current-current operators. We define these matrix elements in terms of Compton-like amplitudes, i.e. amplitudes coupling single-
particle states via two current insertions. We show that the infrared behavior of these matrix elements is dominated by the single-particle pole, which is approximated by the elastic form factors of the lowest-lying hadron. Therefore, given lattice data on the relevant elastic form factors, the finite-volume effects can be estimated non-perturbatively and without recourse to effective field theories. For illustration purposes, we investigate the implications of the proposed formalism for a class of scalar theories in two and four dimensions.
We report on the MILC Collaboration calculation of electromagnetic effects on light pseudoscalar mesons. The simulations employ asqtad staggered dynamical quarks in QCD plus quenched photons, with lattice spacings varying from 0.12 to 0.06 fm. Finite
volume corrections for the MILC realization of lattice electrodynamics have been calculated in chiral perturbation theory and applied to the lattice data. These corrections differ from those calculated by Hayakawa and Uno because our treatment of zero modes differs from theirs. Updated results for the corrections to Dashens theorem are presented.
In Carrasco et al. we have recently proposed a method to calculate $O(e^2)$ electromagnetic corrections to leptonic decay widths of pseudoscalar mesons. The method is based on the observation that the infrared divergent contributions (that appear at
intermediate stages of the calculation and that cancel in physical quantities thanks to the Bloch-Nordsieck mechanism) are universal, i.e. depend on the charge and the mass of the meson but not on its internal structure. In this talk we perform a detailed analysis of the finite-volume effects associated with our method. In particular we show that also the leading $1/L$ finite-volume effects are universal and perform an analytical calculation of the finite-volume leptonic decay rate for a point-like meson.
The leading finite-volume and thermal effects, arising in numerical lattice QCD calculations of $a^{text{HVP,LO}}_mu equiv (g-2)^{text{HVP,LO}}_mu/2$, are determined to all orders with respect to the interactions of a generic, relativistic effective
field theory of pions. In contrast to earlier work based in the finite-volume Hamiltonian, the results presented here are derived by formally summing all Feynman diagrams contributing to the Euclidean electromagnetic-current two-point function, with any number of internal pion loops and interaction vertices. As was already found in our previous publication, the leading finite-volume corrections to $a^{text{HVP,LO}}_mu$ scale as $exp[- m L]$ where $m$ is the pion mass and $L$ is the length of the three periodic spatial directions. In this work we additionally control the two sub-leading exponentials, scaling as $exp[- sqrt{2} m L]$ and $exp[- sqrt{3} m L]$. As with the leading term, the coefficient of these is given by the forward Compton amplitude of the pion, meaning that all details of the effective theory drop out of the final result. Thermal effects are additionally considered, and found to be sub-percent-level for typical lattice calculations. All finite-volume corrections are presented both for $a^{text{HVP,LO}}_mu$ and for each time slice of the two-point function, with the latter expected to be particularly useful in correcting small to intermediate current separations, for which the series of exponentials exhibits good convergence.
One of the more important systematic effects affecting lattice computations of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_mu^{rm HVP}$, is the distortion due to a finite spatial volume. In order to
reach sub-percent precision, these effects need to be reliably estimated and corrected for, and one of the methods that has been employed for doing this is finite-volume chiral perturbation theory. In this paper, we argue that finite-volume corrections to $a_mu^{rm HVP}$ can, in principle, be calculated at any given order in chiral perturbation theory. More precisely, once all low-energy constants needed to define the Effective Field Theory representation of $a_mu^{rm HVP}$ in infinite volume are known to a given order, also the finite-volume corrections can be predicted to that order in the chiral expansion.
