The pi-N Sigma term - a lattice investigation
A lattice calculation of the pi-N sigma term is described using dynamical
staggered fermions. Preliminary results give a sea term comparable in magnitude
to the valence term.Comment: Latex article. 6 pages, uuencoded compressed tar file. Contribution

The ``Spin'' Structure of the Nucleon - a lattice investigation
We will discuss here an indirect lattice evaluation of the baryon axial
singlet current matrix element. This quantity may be related to the fraction of
nucleon spin carried by the quarks. The appropriate structure function has
recently been measured (EMC experiment). As in this experiment, we find that
the quarks do not appear to carry a large component of the nucleon spin.Comment: Latex article. 3 pages. Contribution to the Second IMACS Conference

Effective Yukawa Couplings in Noncompact Lattice QED
We investigate effective Yukawa couplings of mesons to the elementary
fermions in noncompact lattice QED. The couplings are extracted from suitable
fermion-antifermion-meson three-point functions calculated by Monte Carlo
simulations with dynamical staggered fermions. The scaling behaviour is
compatible with expectations from perturbation theory, thus indicating
triviality of QED. The lines of constant Yukawa coupling are compared to flows
of other quantities. Consistency is seen, at most, for weak coupling.Comment: 12 pages, uuencoded compressed postscrip
Is the Chiral Phase Transition in Non-Compact Lattice QED Driven by Monopole Condensation?
We investigate the recent conjecture that the chiral phase transition in
non-compact lattice QED is driven by monopole condensation. The comparison of
analytic and numerical results shows that we have a quantitative understanding
of monopoles in both the quenched and dynamical cases. We can rule out monopole
condensation.Comment: 21 pages, 10 postscript figures include
The SU(3) Beta Function from Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory
The SU(3) beta function is computed from Wilson loops to 20th order numerical
stochastic perturbation theory. An attempt is made to include massless
fermions, whose contribution is known analytically to 4th order. The question
whether the theory admits an infrared stable fixed point is addressed.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, version to be published in Physics Letters
Hadronic coupling constants in lattice QCD
We report on calculations of the hadronic coupling constants
and based on lattice QCD with four flavors of dynamical staggered
fermions. By computing 2--point and 3--point Green's functions we have been
able to determine these coupling constants ab initio from QCD; the results are
compatible with the experimental values.Comment: 3 Page
