Journal ArticleDOI

The Yang-Mills gradient flow in finite volume

TL;DR: In this article, the Yang-Mills gradient flow is considered on the four dimensional torus T ≥ 4 for SU(N) gauge theory coupled to N ≥ f flavors of massless fermions in arbitrary representations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quenched spectroscopy with fixed-point and chirally improved fermions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from quenched spectroscopy calculations with the parametrized fixed-point and the chirally improved Dirac operators for small quark masses and explore pseudoscalar-mass to vector-mass ratios down to 0.28.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the fixed-point QCD action and the construction of chiral currents

TL;DR: In this paper, the first set of quenched QCD measurements using the recently parametrized fixed-point Dirac operator D FP were presented and a general and practical construction of covariant densities and conserved currents for chiral lattice actions was given.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lattice gradient flow at tree-level and its improvement

TL;DR: In this article, the Yang-Mills gradient flow and the observable at finite lattice spacing and tree-level in the gauge coupling are calculated at the same time and the results are shown to be tree level improved by the perturbatively calculated correction factor normalized to one in the continuum limit.
Journal ArticleDOI

The deconfinement phase transition of Sp(2) and Sp(3) Yang-Mills theories in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the deconfinement phase transition of SU (2) Yang-Mills theory is first order in 3+1 dimensions, while in 2 + 1 dimensions stronger fluctuations induce a second order transition.
