Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
Electrically driven thermal changes in PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 bulk ceramics are investigated using temperature and electric-field dependent differential scanning calorimetry and infrared thermometry. On first application and removal of electric field, we find asymmetries in the magnitude of isothermal entropy change $\Delta$ S and adiabatic temperature change $\Delta$ T, due to hysteresis. On subsequent field cycling, we find further asymmetries in the magnitude of $\Delta$ T due to non-linearity in the isofield legs of entropy-temperature plots.

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
Electrically driven adiabatic changes of temperature are identified in the archetypal electrocaloric material PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 by comparing isothermal changes of electrical polarization due to slow variation of electric field, and adiabatic changes of electrical polarization due to fast variation of electric field. By obtaining isothermal (adiabatic) electrical polarization data at measurement (starting) temperatures separated by <0.4 K, we identify a maximum temperature change of ~2 K due to a maximum field change of 26 kV cm-1, for starting temperatures in the range 300 - 315 K. These quasi indirect measurements combine with their direct, indirect and quasi-direct counterparts to complete the set, and could find routine use in future., Comment: 17 pages, 6 figures

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
There is growing interest in heat pumps based on materials that show thermal changes when phase transitions are driven by changes of electric, magnetic or stress field. Importantly, regeneration permits sinks and loads to be thermally separated by many times the changes of temperature that can arise in the materials themselves. However, performance and parameterization are compromised by net heat transfer between caloric working bodies and heat transfer fluids. Here we show that this net transfer can be avoided-resulting in true, balanced regeneration-if one varies the applied electric field while an electrocaloric (EC) working body dumps heat on traversing a passive fluid regenerator. Our EC working body is represented by bulk PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 (PST) near its first-order ferroelectric phase transition, where we record directly measured adiabatic temperature changes of up to 2.2 K. Indirectly measured adiabatic temperature changes of similar magnitude were identified, unlike normal, from adiabatic measurements of polarization, at nearby starting temperatures, without assuming a constant heat capacity. The resulting high-resolution field-temperature-entropy maps of our material, and a small clamped companion sample, were used to construct cooling cycles that assume the use of an ideal passive regenerator in order to span $\leq$20 K. These cooling cycles possess well defined coefficients of performance that are bounded by well defined Carnot limits, resulting in large ($>$50%) well defined efficiencies that are not unduly compromised by a small field hysteresis. Our approach permits the limiting performance of any caloric material in a passive regenerator to be established, optimized and compared; provides a recipe for true regeneration in prototype cooling devices; and could be extended to balance active regeneration., Comment: 54 pages, 22 figures

We compare the low eigenvalue spectra of the Overlap Dirac operator on two sets of configurations at $\mu_I/\mu_I^c$ = 0.5 and 1.5 generated with dynamical staggered fermions at these isospin chemical potential on $24^3 \times 6$ lattices. We find very small changes in the number of zero modes and low lying modes which is in stark contrast with those across the corresponding finite temperature phases where one sees a drop across the phase transition. Possible consequences are discussed., Comment: 6 Pages, 3 Figures, Submitted for the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement (CPOD 2016), Wroclaw, Poland

We present results of our continuing study on mixed-action hadron spectra and decay constants using overlap valence quarks on MILC's 2+1+1 flavor HISQ gauge configurations. This study is carried out on three lattice spacings, with charm and strange masses tuned to their physical values, and with m_l/m_s = 1/5. We present results of an ongoing determination of the mixed-action parameter Delta_{mix}, which enters into chiral formulae for the masses and decay constants., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures. v2 updated discussion and references.

High Energy Physics - Lattice ,High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Abstract
We take a new approach to determine the scale parameter $r_0$, the physical masses of strange and charm quarks through a global fit which incorporates continuum extrapolation, chiral extrapolation and quark mass interpolation to the lattice data. The charmonium and charm-strange meson spectrum are calculated with overlap valence quarks on $2+1$-flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations generated by the RBC and UKQCD Collaboration. We use the masses of $D_s$, $D_s^*$ and $J/\psi$ as inputs and obtain $m_c^{\overline{\rm MS}}(2\,{\rm GeV})=1.110(24)\,{\rm GeV}$, $m_s^{\overline{\rm MS}}(2\,{\rm GeV})=0.104(9)\,{\rm GeV}$ and $r_0=0.458(11)\,{\rm fm}$. Subsequently, the hyperfine-splitting of charmonium and $f_{D_s}$ are predicted to be $112(5)\,{\rm MeV}$ and $254(5)\,{\rm MeV}$, respectively., Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, POS for lattice 2013

We report a complete calculation of the quark and glue momenta and angular momenta in the proton. These include the quark contributions from both the connected and disconnected insertions. The quark disconnected insertion loops are computed with $Z_4$ noise, and the signal-to-noise is improved with unbiased subtractions. The glue operator is comprised of gauge-field tensors constructed from the overlap operator. The calculation is carried out on a $16^3 \times 24$ quenched lattice at $\beta = 6.0$ for Wilson fermions with $\kappa=0.154, 0.155$, and $0.1555$ which correspond to pion masses at $650, 538$, and $478$~MeV, respectively. The chirally extrapolated $u$ and $d$ quark momentum/angular momentum fraction is found to be $0.64(5)/0.70(5)$, the strange momentum/angular momentum fraction is $0.024(6)/0.023(7)$, and that of the glue is $0.33(6)/0.28(8)$. The previous study of quark spin on the same lattice revealed that it carries a fraction of $0.25(12)$ of proton spin. The orbital angular momenta of the quarks are then obtained from subtracting the spin from their corresponding angular momentum components. We find that the quark orbital angular momentum constitutes $0.47(13)$ of the proton spin with almost all of it coming from the disconnected insertions., Comment: Renormalization section is expanded to include more details. There are slight changes in the final numbers. A few modification and corrections are made in the rest of the text

We report here results on charm and strange hadron spectra. Adopting a mixed action approach, we use overlap fermions for valence quarks, on a background of 2+1+1 flavours HISQ gauge configurations of MILC collaboration. Two lattice spacings (0.09 fm and 0.06 fm) are used. We find the hyperfine splitting of 1S charmonia to be 114(3)(-2) MeV and 109(4)(-3) MeV, and the splitting (m(Omega_ccc)-3/2 m(J\Psi)) is found to be 110(20)(-10) MeV and 120(10) MeV, corresponding to lattices with spacings a = 0.09 and 0.06 fm respectively.

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
Large thermal changes driven by a magnetic field have been proposed for environmentally friendly energy efficient refrigeration, but only a few materials which suffer hysteresis show these giant magnetocaloric effects. Here we create giant and reversible extrinsic magnetocaloric effects in epitaxial films of the ferromagnetic manganite La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 using strain mediated feedback from BaTiO3 substrates near a first-order structural phase transition. Our findings should inspire the discovery of giant magnetocaloric effects in a wide range of magnetic materials, and the parallel development of nanostructured bulk samples for practical applications., Comment: 32 pages, 1 Table, 5 figures, supplementary information

High Energy Physics - Lattice - Abstract
A direct calculation of the mixed-action parameter $\Delta_{mix}$ with valence overlap fermions on a domain-wall fermion sea is presented. The calculation is performed on four ensembles of the 2+1-flavor domain-wall gauge configurations: $24^3 \times 64$ ($a m_l= 0.005$, $a=0.114\fm$) and $32^3 \times 64$ ($a m_l = 0.004, 0.006, 0.008$, $a=0.085\fm$). For pion masses close to $300\MeV$ we find \hbox{$\Delta_{mix}=0.030(6)\GeV^4$} at $a=0.114\fm$ and $\Delta_{mix}=0.033(12)\GeV^4$ at $a=0.085\fm$. The results are quite independent of the lattice spacing and they are significantly smaller than the results for valence domain-wall fermions on Asqtad sea or those of valence overlap fermions on clover sea. Combining the results extracted from these two ensembles, we get $\Delta_{mix}=0.030(6)(5)\GeV^4$, where the first error is statistical and the second is the systematic error associated with the fitting method., Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures

Chiral effective field theory can provide valuable insight into the chiral physics of hadrons when used in conjunction with non-perturbative schemes such as lattice QCD. In this discourse, the attention is focused on extrapolating the mass of the rho meson to the physical pion mass in quenched QCD (QQCD). With the absence of a known experimental value, this serves to demonstrate the ability of the extrapolation scheme to make predictions without prior bias. By using extended effective field theory developed previously, an extrapolation is performed using quenched lattice QCD data that extends outside the chiral power-counting regime (PCR). The method involves an analysis of the renormalization flow curves of the low energy coefficients in a finite-range regularized effective field theory. The analysis identifies an optimal regulator, which is embedded in the lattice QCD data themselves. This optimal regulator is the regulator value at which the renormalization of the low energy coefficients is approximately independent of the range of quark masses considered. By using recent precision, quenched lattice results, the extrapolation is tested directly by truncating the analysis to a set of points above 380 MeV, while being blinded of the results probing deeply into the chiral regime. The result is a successful extrapolation to the chiral regime., Comment: 8 pages, 18 figures

High Energy Physics - Lattice - Abstract
The overlap fermion propagator is calculated on 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion gauge configurations on 16^3 x 32, 24^3 x 64 and 32^3 x 64 lattices. With HYP smearing and low eigenmode deflation, it is shown that the inversion of the overlap operator can be expedited by ~ 20 times for the 16^3 x 32 lattice and ~ 80 times for the 32^3 x 64 lattice. Through the study of hyperfine splitting, we found that the O(m^2a^2) error is small and these dynamical fermion lattices can adequately accommodate quark mass up to the charm quark. The low energy constant \Delta_{mix} which characterizes the discretization error of the pion made up of a pair of sea and valence quarks in this mixed action approach is calculated via the scalar correlator with periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions. It is found to be small which shifts a 300 MeV pion mass by ~ 10 to 19 MeV on these sets of lattices. We have studied the signal-to-noise issue of the noise source for the meson and baryon. It is found that the many-to-all meson and baryon correlators with Z_3 grid source and low eigenmode substitution is efficient in reducing errors for the correlators of both mesons and baryons. With 64-point Z_3 grid source and low-mode substitution, it can reduce the statistical errors of the light quark (m_{\pi} ~ 200 - 300 MeV) meson and nucleon correlators by a factor of ~ 3-4 as compared to the point source. The Z_3 grid source itself can reduce the errors of the charmonium correlators by a factor of ~ 3., Comment: 30 pages, 18 figures, replaced with the version to be published in PRD

High Energy Physics - Lattice ,High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Abstract
We investigate whether the lightest scalar mesons sigma and kappa have a large tetraquark component, as is strongly supported by many phenomenological studies. A search for possible light tetraquark states with J^PC=0^++ and I=0, 2, 1/2, 3/2 on the lattice is presented. We perform the two-flavor dynamical simulation with Chirally Improved quarks and the quenched simulation with overlap quarks, finding qualitative agreement between both results. The spectrum is determined using the generalized eigenvalue method with a number of tetraquark interpolators at the source and the sink, and we omit the disconnected contractions. The time-dependence of the eigenvalues at finite temporal extent of the lattice is explored also analytically. In all the channels, we unavoidably find lowest scattering states pi(k)pi(-k) or K(k)pi(-k) with back-to-back momentum k=0, 2*pi/L,... However, we find an additional light state in the I=0 and I=1/2 channels, which may be interpreted as the observed resonances sigma and kappa with a sizable tetraquark component. In the exotic repulsive channels I=2 and I=3/2, where no resonance is observed, we find no light state in addition to the scattering states., Comment: 27 pages, 12 figures, version to appear in PRD

For an epitaxial Pr0.48Ca0.52MnO3 film on NdGaO3, we use transmission electron microscopy to observe a "charge-ordered" superlattice along the in-plane direction a. The same film shows no electrical signatures of charge order. The in-plane electrical anisotropy (rho)a/(rho)c = 28 is constant, and there is no evidence of sliding charge density waves up to the large field of ~10^3 V/cm., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures

We report the discovery of serendipitous electrocaloric effects in commercial multilayer capacitors based on ferroelectric BaTiO3. Direct thermometry records ~0.5 K changes due to 300 kV cm-1, over a wide range of temperatures near and above room temperature. Similar results are obtained indirectly, via thermodynamic analysis of ferroelectric hysteresis loops. We compare and contrast these two results. Optimised electrocaloric multilayer capacitors could find applications in future cooling technologies., Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures

We present a search for possible light tetraquark states with J^PC=0^++ and I=0, 1/2, 3/2, 2 on the lattice. The spectrum is determined using the generalized eigenvalue method with a number of tetraquark interpolators at the source and the sink. In all the channels, we unavoidably find lowest scattering states pi(k)pi(-k) or K(k)pi(-k) with back-to-back momentum k=0,2*pi/L,.. . However, we find an additional light state in the I=0 and I=1/2 channels, which may be related to the observed resonances sigma and kappa with a strong tetraquark component. In the exotic repulsive channels I=2 and I=3/2, where no resonance is observed, we find no light state in addition to the scattering states., Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, talk presented at The XXVII International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory, July 26-31, 2009, Peking University, Beijing, China

We extend the study of lowest moments, $
$ and $ $, of the parton distribution function of the nucleon to include those of the sea quarks; this entails a disconnected insertion calculation in lattice QCD. This is carried out on a $16^3 \times 24$ quenched lattice with Wilson fermion. The quark loops are calculated with $Z_2$ noise vectors and unbiased subtractions, and multiple nucleon sources are employed to reduce the statistical errors. We obtain 5$\sigma$ signals for $ $ for the $u,d,$ and $s$ quarks, but $ $ is consistent with zero within errors. We provide results for both the connected and disconnected insertions. The perturbatively renormalized $ $ for the strange quark at $\mu = 2$ GeV is $ _{s+\bar{s}} = 0.027 \pm 0.006$ which is consistent with the experimental result. The ratio of $ $ for $s$ vs. $u/d$ in the disconnected insertion with quark loops is calculated to be $0.88 \pm 0.07$. This is about twice as large as the phenomenologically fitted $\displaystyle\frac{< x>_{s+\bar{s}}}{< x>_{\bar{u}}+< x>_{\bar{d}}}$ from experiments where $\bar{u}$ and $\bar{d}$ include both the connected and disconnected insertion parts. We discuss the source and implication of this difference., Comment: 50 Pages 58 Figures - Published

Condensed Matter - Strongly Correlated Electrons - Abstract
(Pr,Ca)MnO3 is the archetypal charge-ordered manganite, but in Pr0.48Ca0.52MnO3 we find (using convergent-beam electron diffraction and dark-field images) that the superlattice period is locally incommensurate with respect to the parent lattice, and that the superlattice orientation possesses significant local variations. This suggests that local electron-lattice coupling never overwhelmingly dominates the rich physics of manganites, even in the most extreme scenarios that produce the largest colossal magnetoresistance effects., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures; accepted in Physical Review B

We propose the phase diagram of a new pseudo-ternary compound, CoMnGe_{1-x}Sn_{x}, in the range x less than or equal to 0.1. Our phase diagram is a result of magnetic and calometric measurements. We demonstrate the appearance of a hysteretic magnetostructural phase transition in the range x=0.04 to x=0.055, similar to that observed in CoMnGe under hydrostatic pressure. From magnetisation measurements, we show that the isothermal entropy change associated with the magnetostructural transition can be as high as 4.5 J/(K kg) in a field of 1 Tesla. However, the large thermal hysteresis in this transition (~20 K) will limit its straightforward use in a magnetocaloric device., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures

High Energy Physics - Lattice ,High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Abstract
Working with a large basis of covariant derivative-based meson interpolating fields we demonstrate the feasibility of reliably extracting multiple excited states using a variational method. The study is performed on quenched anisotropic lattices with clover quarks at the charm mass. We demonstrate how a knowledge of the continuum limit of a lattice interpolating field can give additional spin-assignment information, even at a single lattice spacing, via the overlap factors of interpolating field and state. Excited state masses are systematically high with respect to quark potential model predictions and, where they exist, experimental states. We conclude that this is most likely a result of the quenched approximation., Comment: Fixed typos: normalisation of chi-squared, some operator projections in appendix, missing lattice irrep table

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
In a material, the existence and coexistence of phases with very different magnetic and electronic properties is both unusual and surprising. Manganites in particular capture the imagination because they demonstrate a complexity that belies their chemically single-phase nature. This complexity arises because the magnetic, electronic and crystal structures interact with one another to deliver exotic magnetic and electronic phases that coexist. This coexistence is self-organized and yet readily susceptible to external perturbations, permitting subtle and imaginative experiments of the type that we describe here. Moreover, these experiments reveal that each competing phase itself remains an incompletely solved mystery., Comment: invited review for Materials Today (October 2007 issue), 18 pages, 8 figures

Condensed Matter - Strongly Correlated Electrons - Abstract
The coupling of the manganite stripe phase to the lattice and to strain has been investigated via transmission electron microscopy studies of polycrystalline and thin film manganites. In polycrystalline \PCMOfiftwo a lockin to $q/a^*=0.5$ in a sample with $x>0.5$ has been observed for the first time. Such a lockin has been predicted as a key part of the Landau CDW theory of the stripe phase. Thus it is possible to constrain the size of the electron-phonon coupling in the CDW Landau theory to between 0.04% and 0.05% of the electron-electron coupling term. In the thin film samples, films of the same thickness grown on two different substrates exhibited different wavevectors. The different strains present in the films on the two substrates can be related to the wavevector observed via Landau theory. It is demonstrated that the the elastic term which favours an incommensurate modulation has a similar size to the coupling between the strain and the wavevector, meaning that the coupling of strain to the superlattice is unexpectedly strong., Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures

Polarized Neutron Reflectometry and magnetometry measurements have been used to obtain a comprehensive picture of the magnetic structure of a series of La{2/3}Sr{1/3}MnO{3}/Pr{2/3}Ca{1/3}MnO{3} (LSMO/PCMO) superlattices, with varying thickness of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) PCMO layers (0<=t_A<=7.6 nm). While LSMO presents a few magnetically frustrated monolayers at the interfaces with PCMO, in the latter a magnetic contribution due to FM inclusions within the AFM matrix was found to be maximized at t_A~3 nm. This enhancement of the FM moment occurs at the matching between layer thickness and cluster size, where the FM clusters would find the optimal strain conditions to be accommodated within the "non-FM" material. These results have important implications for tuning phase separation via the explicit control of strain., Comment: 4 pages, submitted to PRL

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
Magnetoelectric coupling permits a magnetic order parameter to be addressed electrically or vice versa, and could find use in data storage, field sensors and actuators. Coupling constants for single phase materials such as chromium dioxide, boracites and manganites are typically as low as 10^{-12} - 10^{-9} s/m, e.g. because the polarisations and magnetisations are small. Two phase multiferroics with strain mediated coupling, such as laminates, composites and epitaxial nanostructures, are more promising because each phase may be independently optimised. The resulting magnetoelectric switching can be larger, e.g. 10^{-8} s/m, but it is not sharp because clean coupling is precluded by the complexity of the microstructures and concomitant strain fields. Here we report a giant sharp magnetoelectric effect at a single epitaxial interface between a 40 nm ferromagnetic stress-sensitive La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_3 film, and a 0.5 mm BaTiO_3 substrate that is ferroelectric, piezoelectric and ferroelastic. By applying a small electric field (4-10 kV/cm) across the entire structure, we achieve persistent changes in film magnetisation of up to 65% near the BaTiO_3 structural phase transition at around 200 K. This represents a giant magnetoelectric coupling (2.3*10-7 s/m) that arises from strain fields due to ferroelastic non-180 degree domains whose presence we confirm using x-ray diffraction. The coupling persists over a wide range of temperatures including room temperature, and could therefore inspire a range of sensor and memory applications., Comment: 20 sides, 4 main figures, 14 supplementary figures, 1 supplementary table. The new version has three minor changes: an explanation of film anisotropy with a new ref [20], a confirmation that films are not trivially damaged by magnetoelectric meaurements, and the correct magnetic field history during magnetoelectric measurements

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
The physical properties of manganites depend strongly on sample morphology, probably due to strain. We investigate the influence of NdGaO3 substrates on the limit of the ferromagnetic-metallic phase field in La1-xCaxMnO3, doping with x=1% resolution. Films with x=0.40 show a metal-insulator transition, but the ferromagnetic volume fraction is half the spin aligned value. Films with x=0.41 are similar but the metal-insulator transition is not always seen. Films with x=0.42, 0.43, 0.44, 0.45 are insulating, and the magnetization is dramatically reduced. The observed phase boundary indicates where to search for enhanced phase separation effects that may be exploited in thin films and devices.

The effect is of relevance to magnetic refrigeration over a wide range of temperature, including room temperature. In addition we report a very high shift in the metamagnetic transition temperature with applied magnetic field.

We report magnetic and electrical transport studies of an epitaxially grown trilayer thin film structure comprising La0.59Ca0.41MnO3 sandwiched between La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 electrodes. Since La0.59Ca0.41MnO3 lies at the edge of the thin film ferromagnetic metallic phase field, phase separation effects are expected. These effects can explain the observed magnetic isotropy of the middle layer. By contrast, the electrode material is magnetically uniaxial. Easy axis magnetic field sweeps of the trilayer produce two sharp magnetic transitions, but only one sharp transition in current-in-plane resistance measurements.

Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
An applied electric field can reversibly change the temperature of an electrocaloric material under adiabatic conditions, and the effect is strongest near phase transitions. This phenomenon has been largely ignored because only small effects (0.003 K V^-1) have been seen in bulk samples such as Pb0.99Nb0.02(Zr0.75Sn0.20Ti0.05)0.98O3 and there is no consensus on macroscopic models. Here we demonstrate a giant electrocaloric effect (0.48 K V^-1) in 300 nm sol-gel PbZr0.95Ti0.05O3 films near the ferroelectric Curie temperature of 222oC. We also discuss a solid state device concept for electrical refrigeration that has the capacity to outperform Peltier or magnetocaloric coolers. Our results resolve the controversy surrounding macroscopic models of the electrocaloric effect and may inspire ab initio calculations of electrocaloric parameters and thus a targeted search for new materials., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures

The glueball-to-vacuum matrix elements of local gluonic operators in scalar, tensor, and pseudoscalar channels are investigated numerically on several anisotropic lattices with the spatial lattice spacing ranging from 0.1fm - 0.2fm. These matrix elements are needed to predict the glueball branching ratios in $J/\psi$ radiative decays which will help identify the glueball states in experiments. Two types of improved local gluonic operators are constructed for a self-consistent check and the finite volume effects are studied. We find that lattice spacing dependence of our results is very weak and the continuum limits are reliably extrapolated, as a result of improvement of the lattice gauge action and local operators. We also give updated glueball masses with various quantum numbers., Comment: 22 pages, 16 figures, revtex4

Simulations are performed on $16^3 \times 72$ lattices, with Wilson gauge action at $\beta$ = 6.3345. We demonstrate that we have discretization errors under control at about 5%. We obtain 88(4) MeV for hyperfine splitting using the $r_0$ scale, and 121(6) MeV using the ($1\bar{P}-1\bar{S}$) scale. This paper raises the possibility that the discrepancy between the lattice results and the experimental value for charmonium hyperfine splitting can be resolved using overlap fermions to simulate the charm quark on lattice., Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures

We compute non-perturbatively the renormalization constants of composite operators on a quenched $16^3 \times 28 $ lattice with lattice spacing $a$ = 0.20 fm for the overlap fermion by using the regularization independent (RI) scheme. The quenched gauge configurations were generated with the Iwasaki action. We test the relations $Z_A = Z_V$ and $ Z_S=Z_P$ and find that they agree well {(less than 1%)} above $\mu$ = 1.6 GeV. %even for our lattice with a coarse lattice spacing. We also perform a Renormalization Group (RG) analysis at the next-to-next-to-leading order and match the renormalization constants to the $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme. The wave-function renormalization $Z_{\psi}$ is determined from the vertex function of the axial current and $Z_A$ from the chiral Ward identity. Finally, we examine the finite quark mass behavior for the renormalization factors of the quark bilinear operators. We find that the $(pa)^2$ errors of the vertex functions are small and the quark mass dependence of the renormalization factors to be quite weak., Comment: 40 pages, 20 figures

We calculate the lattice two-point function of topological charge density in pure-glue QCD using the discretization of the operator based on the overlap Dirac matrix. Utilizing data at three lattice spacings it is shown that the continuum limit of the correlator complies with the requirement of non-positivity at non-zero distances. For our choice of the overlap operator and the Iwasaki gauge action we find that the size of the positive core is ~2a (with a being the lattice spacing) sufficiently close to the continuum limit. This result confirms that the overlap-based topological charge density is a valid local operator over realistic backgrounds contributing to the QCD path integral, and is important for the consistency of recent results indicating the existence of a low-dimensional global brane-like topological structure in the QCD vacuum. We also confirm the divergent short-distance behavior of the correlator, and the non-integrable nature of the associated contact part., Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures

High Energy Physics - Lattice - Abstract
We have recently presented evidence that in configurations dominating the regularized pure-glue QCD path integral, the topological charge density constructed from overlap Dirac operator organizes into an ordered space-time structure. It was pointed out that, among other properties, this structure exhibits two important features: it is low-dimensional and geometrically global, i.e. consisting of connected sign-coherent regions with local dimensions 1<= d < 4, and spreading over arbitrarily large space--time distances. Here we show that the space-time structure that is responsible for the origin of topological susceptibility indeed exhibits global behavior. In particular, we show numerically that topological fluctuations are not saturated by localized concentrations of most intense topological charge density. To the contrary, the susceptibility saturates only after the space-time regions with most intense fields are included, such that geometrically global structure is already formed. We demonstrate this result both at the fundamental level (full topological density) and at low energy (effective density). The drastic mismatch between the point of fluctuation saturation (~ 50% of space-time at low energy) and that of global structure formation (<4% of space-time at low energy) indicates that the ordered space-time structure in topological charge is inherently global and that topological charge fluctuations in QCD cannot be understood in terms of individual localized pieces. Description in terms of global brane-like objects should be sought instead., Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures; v2: typos corrected, minor modifications; v3: misprint in Eqs. (2,3) fixed

We do not observe any bound pentaquark state in these channels for either I = 0 or I =1. The states we found are consistent with KN scattering states which are checked to exhibit the expected volume dependence of the spectral weight. The results are based on overlap-fermion propagators on two lattices, 12^3 x 28 and 16^3 x 28, with the same lattice spacing of 0.2 fm, and pion mass as low as ~ 180 MeV., Comment: accepted for publication in Phys.
