A specific lattice artefact in non-perturbative renormalization of operators
arXiv:0807.0030
Abstract
We discuss a specific cut-off effect which appears in applying the non-perturbative RI/MOM scheme to compute the renormalization constants. To illustrate the problem a Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is used, but the arguments are more general. We propose a simple modification of the method which gets rid of the corresponding discretization error. Applying this to full-QCD simulations done at a=0.13 fm with the Fixed Point action we find that the renormalization constants are strongly distorted by the artefacts discussed. We consider also the role of global gauge transformations, a freedom which still remains after the conventional gauge fixing procedure is applied.
