The gradient flow running coupling with twisted boundary conditions

Abstract

We study the gradient flow for Yang-Mills theories with twisted boundary conditions. The perturbative behavior of the energy density $⟨E(t)⟩$ is used to define a running coupling at a scale given by the linear size of the finite volume box. We compute the non-perturbative running of the pure gauge $SU(2)$ coupling constant and conclude that the technique is well suited for further applications due to the relatively mild cutoff effects of the step scaling function and the high numerical precision that can be achieved in lattice simulations. We also comment on the inclusion of matter fields.
