The Coupled Cluster Method in Hamiltonian Lattice Field Theory
The coupled cluster or exp S form of the eigenvalue problem for lattice
Hamiltonian QCD (without quarks) is investigated. A new construction
prescription is given for the calculation of the relevant coupled cluster
matrix elements with respect to an orthogonal and independent loop space basis.
The method avoids the explicit introduction of gauge group coupling
coefficients by mapping the eigenvalue problem onto a suitable set of character
functions, which allows a simplified procedure. Using appropriate group
theoretical methods, we show that it is possible to set up the eigenvalue
problem for eigenstates having arbitrary lattice momentum and lattice angular
momentum.Comment: LaTeX, no figur
Masses of ground and excited-state hadrons
We present the first Dyson-Schwinger equation calculation of the light hadron
spectrum that simultaneously correlates the masses of meson and baryon ground-
and excited-states within a single framework. At the core of our analysis is a
symmetry-preserving treatment of a vector-vector contact interaction. In
comparison with relevant quantities the
root-mean-square-relative-error/degree-of freedom is 13%. Notable amongst our
results is agreement between the computed baryon masses and the bare masses
employed in modern dynamical coupled-channels models of pion-nucleon reactions.
Our analysis provides insight into numerous aspects of baryon structure; e.g.,
relationships between the nucleon and Delta masses and those of the
dressed-quark and diquark correlations they contain.Comment: 25 pages, 7 figures, 4 table
