Abstract

We calculate the kaon $B$-parameter in quenched lattice QCD at $β=6.0$ using Wilson fermions at $κ=0.154$ and $0.155$. We use two kinds of non-local (``smeared'') sources for quark propagators to calculate the matrix elements between states of definite momentum. The use of smeared sources yields results with much smaller errors than obtained in previous calculations with Wilson fermions. By combining results for $\vec p =(0,0,0)$ and $\vec p =(0,0,1)$, we show that one can carry out the non-perturbative subtraction necessary to remove the dominant lattice artifacts induced by the chiral symmetry breaking term in the Wilson action. Our final results are in good agreement with those obtained using staggered fermions. We also present results for $B$-parameters of the $ΔI = 3/2$ part of the electromagnetic penguin operators, and preliminary results for \bk\ in the presence of two flavors of dynamical quarks.

Subtraction method for disconnected diagrams in full QCD

Disconnected diagrams remain a major challenge for precision lattice QCD calculations because of their large statistical fluctuations. We investigate a subtraction method based on a domain decomposition of the Dirac operator, yielding a biased but substantially less noisy estimator. Applying the method to charmonium disconnected correlators computed using distillation, we achieve a variance reduction of about three orders of magnitude at only twice the computational cost, providing a practical alternative to completely neglecting disconnected contributions.

Progress on $Sp(4)$ lattice theories with Grid: Möbius domain wall fermions and continuum extrapolations

We present preliminary results obtained in the first extensive study of the Möbius domain wall fermion (MDWF) lattice formulation of the four-dimensional Sp(4) gauge theory coupled to two dynamical fermions transforming in the fundamental representation. This theory is important for extensions of the Standard Model, as it provides the microscopic origin for both composite Higgs and dark matter models based on the SU(4)/Sp(4) coset. We scan the space of bare lattice parameters, including those entering the MDWF, and monitor spurious effects, such as the residual mass. We identify optimised regions of parameter space in which lattice artefacts affecting the global symmetries of the theory are suppressed. We then perform preliminary measurements of the lightest pseudoscalar and vector meson masses, together with the pseudoscalar decay constant. We demonstrate the potential of the MDWF formulation to enable continuum-limit extrapolations with reduced lattice discretisation effects.

Boundary Condition dependent Universality Classes on a Hyperbolic Lattice

We study the ferromagnetic Ising model on finite hyperbolic tessellations of Euclidean AdS$_2$ with open and wired boundary conditions. Because a finite fraction of spins remains at the boundary as the lattice grows, these conditions select distinct thermodynamic behaviours. In the $\{5,4\}$ tessellation, Monte-Carlo simulations using efficient worm algorithms on open boundaries (OBC) yield a transition near $β_c J=0.632(3)$, with susceptibility data collapsing under scaling by the total number of spins $N$. The fitted finite-size exponents, $1/\barν \simeq 0.162$ and $γ/\barν \simeq 0.743$, differ substantially from the mean-field volume scaling. Wired boundaries (WBC), which correlate boundary spins, instead show a transition around $β_c J=0.348(4)$ to an ordered phase consistent with the mean-field exponents. While the mean-field criticality with WBC is consistent with previous studies and with the suppression of independent boundary fluctuations, the OBC exponents hint at the presence of a new universality class. Results from other tessellations support the robustness of the observed scaling with OBC. We discuss a possible route to interpolate between the different boundary conditions. Our findings show that boundary dynamics must be specified when characterizing critical behaviour on hyperbolic lattices.
