Abstract

AbstractDiscretization effects of lattice QCD are described by Symanzik’s effective theory when the lattice spacing, a, is small. Asymptotic freedom predicts that the leading asymptotic behavior is $$\sim a^{n_{\mathrm{min}}}[{\bar{g}}^2(a^{-1})]^{\hat{\gamma }_1} \sim a^{n_{\mathrm{min}}}\left[ \frac{1}{-\log (a\Lambda )}\right] ^{\hat{\gamma }_1}$$anmin[g¯2(a-1)]γ^1anmin1-log(aΛ)γ^1. For spectral quantities, $${n_{\mathrm{min}}}=d$$nmin=d is given in terms of the (lowest) canonical dimension, $$d+4$$d+4, of the operators in the local effective Lagrangian and $$\hat{\gamma }_1$$γ^1 is proportional to the leading eigenvalue of their one-loop anomalous dimension matrix $$\gamma ^{(0)}$$γ(0). We determine $$\gamma ^{(0)}$$γ(0) for Yang–Mills theory ($${n_{\mathrm{min}}}=2$$nmin=2) and discuss consequences in general and for perturbatively improved short distance observables. With the help of results from the literature, we also discuss the $${n_{\mathrm{min}}}=1$$nmin=1 case of Wilson fermions with perturbative $$\mathrm{O}(a)$$O(a) improvement and the discretization effects specific to the flavor currents. In all cases known so far, the discretization effects are found to vanish faster than the naive $$\sim a^{n_{\mathrm{min}}}$$anmin behavior with rather small logarithmic corrections – in contrast to the two-dimensional O(3) sigma model.
