Deep Inelastic Scattering in Improved Lattice QCD. II. The second moment of structure functions

In this paper we present the 1-loop perturbative computation of the renormalization constants and mixing coefficients of the lattice quark operators of rank three whose hadronic elements enter in the determination of the second moment of Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) structure functions. We have employed in our calculations the nearest-neighbor improved ``clover-leaf'' lattice QCD action. The interest of using this action in Monte Carlo simulations lies in the fact that all terms which in the continuum limit are effectively of order $a$ ($a$ being the lattice spacing) have been demonstrated to be absent from on-shell hadronic lattice matrix elements. We have limited our computations to the quenched case, in which quark operators do not mix with gluon operators. We have studied the transformation properties under the hypercubic group of the operators up to the rank five (which are related to moments up to the fourth of DIS structure functions), and we discuss the choice of the operators considered in this paper together with the feasibility of lattice computations for operators of higher ranks. To perform the huge amount of calculations required for the evaluation of all the relevant Feynman diagrams, we have extensively used the symbolic manipulation languages Schoonschip and Form.Comment: 30 pages, latex + elsart + feynman (complete postscript file available upon request to [email protected]); submitted to Nuclear Physics

Perturbative and Non-perturbative Lattice Calculations for the Study of Parton Distributions

We discuss how lattice calculations can be a useful tool for the study of structure functions. Particular emphasis is given to the perturbative renormalization of the operators.Comment: 6 pages.

DIS Structure Functions in Lattice QCD

In this talk I present the complete 1-loop perturbative computation of the renormalization constants and mixing coefficients of quark and gluon lattice operators of rank two and three whose hadronic elements enter in the determination of the first and second moment of Deep Inelastic Scattering Structure Functions, making use of the nearest-neighbor improved ``clover-leaf'' lattice QCD action. To perform the huge amount of calculations required for the evaluation of all the relevant Feynman diagrams, extensive use of symbolic manipulation languages like Schoonschip and Form has been made.Comment: Talk presented at LATTICE96(theoretical developments) by S.

Moments of parton evolution probabilities on the lattice within the Schroedinger functional scheme

We define, within the Schroedinger functional scheme (SF), the matrix elements of the twist-2 operators corresponding to the first two moments of non-singlet parton densities. We perform a lattice one-loop calculation that fixes the relation between the SF scheme and other common schemes and shows the main source of lattice artefacts. This calculation sets the basis for a numerical evaluation of the non-perturbative running of parton densities.Comment: Latex file, 4 figures, 15 page

Non-perturbative Renormalization of Lattice Operators

We briefly review and compare three methods (one perturbative, one based on Ward Identities and one non-perturbative) for the calculation of the renormalization constants of lattice operators. The following results are presented: (a) non perturbative renormalization of the operators with light quarks; (b) the renormalization constants with a heavy (charm) quark mass and its KLM improvement; (c) the non perturbative determination of the mixing of the $\Delta S = 2$ operator.Comment: 9 pages, uuencoded PS file, 8 figures included, 1 tabl

The Contingent Role of Conflict: Deliberative Interaction and Disagreement in Shareholder Engagement

How is the tension between conflict and deliberation resolved in shareholder engagement? We address this question by studying shareholder engagement as a deliberative process with three stages: establishing dialogue, solution development, and solution implementation. We theorize that two interactionist mechanisms, deliberative interaction and the voicing of disagreement, play different roles at different stages of the process. We test our hypotheses with a proprietary database of 169 environmental, social and governance (ESG) engagements with US public companies over 2007–2012. We find that while deliberative interaction does not help advance the engagement process, it positively moderates the effect of disagreement in the solution-development stage. By contrast, in the solution-implementation stage, deliberative interaction amplifies the negative effect of disagreement, thus hindering progress in the engagement. Our paper contributes to shareholder engagement, deliberation theory and interactionist organization theory by establishing that engagement effectiveness is an interactional achievement, shaped by both deliberation and disagreement

Perturbative Renormalization of Lattice Bilinear Quark Operators

Our aim is to compute the lower moments of the unpolarized and polarized deep-inelastic structure functions of the nucleon on the lattice. The theoretical basis of the calculation is the operator product expansion. To construct operators with the appropriate continuum behavior out of the bare lattice operators one must absorb the effects of momentum scales far greater than any physical scale into a renormalization of the operators. In this work we compute the renormalization constants of all bilinear quark operators of leading twist and spin up to four. The calculation is done for Wilson fermions and in the quenched approximation where dynamical quark loops are neglected.Comment: 28 pages, uuencoded Z-compressed postscript file.
