Solvable Discrete Quantum Mechanics: q-Orthogonal Polynomials with |q|=1 and Quantum Dilogarithm
Several kinds of q-orthogonal polynomials with |q|=1 are constructed as the
main parts of the eigenfunctions of new solvable discrete quantum mechanical
systems. Their orthogonality weight functions consist of quantum dilogarithm
functions, which are a natural extension of the Euler gamma functions and the
q-gamma functions (q-shifted factorials). The dimensions of the orthogonal
spaces are finite. These q-orthogonal polynomials are expressed in terms of the
Askey-Wilson polynomials and their certain limit forms.Comment: 37 pages. Comments and references added. To appear in J.Math.Phy
Two-photon decay of the neutral pion in lattice QCD
We perform non-perturbative calculation of the \pi^0 to {\gamma}{\gamma}
transition form factor and the associated decay width using lattice QCD. The
amplitude for two-photon final state, which is not an eigenstate of QCD, is
extracted through an Euclidean time integral of the relevant three-point
function. We utilize the all-to-all quark propagator technique to carry out
this integral as well as to include the disconnected quark diagram
contributions. The overlap fermion formulation is employed on the lattice to
ensure exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. After examining various sources of
systematic effects except for possible discretization effect, we obtain
\Gamma=7.83(31)(49) eV for the pion decay width, where the first error is
statistical and the second is our estimate of the systematic error.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. Changes made addressing to referee's comments,
