Fixed Point Gauge Actions with Fat Links: Scaling and Glueballs

Abstract

A new parametrization is introduced for the fixed point (FP) action in SU(3) gauge theory using fat links. We investigate its scaling properties by means of the static quark-antiquark potential and the dimensionless quantities $r_0{T}_c,T_c/\sqrt{\sigma }$ and $r_0\sqrt{\sigma }$, where $T_c$ is the critical temperature of the deconfining phase transition, $r_0$ is the hadronic scale and $\sigma$ is the effective string tension. These quantities scale even on lattices as coarse as $a\approx 0.3$ fm. We also measure the glueball spectrum and obtain $m_{0^{++}}=1627(83)$ MeV and $m_{2^{++}}=2354(95)$ MeV for the masses of the scalar and tensor glueballs, respectively.
