A renormalization scheme for semi-regular continued fractions

AbstractIn this article we study a renormalization scheme with which we find all semi-regular continued fractions of a number in a natural way. We define two maps, $$\hat{T}_{slow}$$ T ^ slow and $$\hat{T}_{fast}$$ T ^ fast : these maps are defined for $$(x,y)\in [0,1]$$ ( x , y ) ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , where x is the number for which a semi- regular continued fraction representation is developed by $$\hat{T}_{slow}$$ T ^ slow according to the parameter y. The set of all possible semi-regular continued fraction representations of x are bijectively constructed as the parameter y varies. The map $$\hat{T}_{fast}$$ T ^ fast is a “sped up" version of the map $$\hat{T}_{slow}$$ T ^ slow , and we show that $$\hat{T}_{fast}$$ T ^ fast is ergodic with respect to a probability measure which is mutually absolutely continuous with Lebesgue measure. In contrast, $$\hat{T}_{slow}$$ T ^ slow preserves no such measure, but does preserve an infinite, $$\sigma $$ σ -finite measure mutually absolutely continuous with Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, we generate a sequence of substitutions which generate a symbolic coding of the orbit of y under rotation by x modulo one. In the last section we highlight how our scheme can be used to generate semi-regular continued fractions explicitly for specific continued fraction algorithms such as Nakada’s $$\alpha $$ α -continued fractions.

On-shell renormalization with vector-like leptons, one-loop muon–Higgs coupling and muon g − 2

Models with vector-like leptons can strongly modify the lepton mass generation mechanism and lead to correlated effects in lepton–Higgs couplings and lepton dipole moments. Here we begin an analysis of higher-order corrections in such models by setting up a renormalization scheme with full on-shell conditions on the lepton self energies, masses and fields. A minimal set of fundamental parameters is renormalized in the MS¯\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ \\overline{\ extrm{MS}} $$\\end{document} scheme. We provide a detailed discussion of lepton mixing and redundancies at higher orders, show how the relevant counterterms can be obtained from the renormalization conditions, and determine the β-functions corresponding to the scheme.

Criterion of perturbativity with the mass-dependent beta function in extended Higgs models

In order to realize an electroweak first-order phase transition, a category of extended Higgs models with relatively large self-coupling constants is often considered. In such a scenario, the running coupling constants can blow up at an energy scale much below the Planck scale. To clarify the allowed parameter space of the model, it is important to evaluate the scale where perturbative calculation breaks down. In the renormalization group equation analysis using the mass-independent renormalization scheme, we need a matching condition to connect the low energy theory and the high energy theory. Consequently, the analysis depends on the details of the matching condition. On the other hand, an analysis with the mass-dependent beta function can be performed in a simpler way because the threshold effect is automatically included in the beta function. In this paper, using the mass-dependent beta function, we discuss the application limit of perturbative calculations at the one-loop level. First, we explain the essence of our method and compare our results with those based on the mass-independent beta function in a toy model with two complex scalar fields. We then apply our method to a more realistic model, i.e., the inert doublet model. We find that, in our method, in which the threshold effect is automatically included, the energy scale where the perturbative calculation breaks down can be higher than the one using the mass-independent beta function, especially when the blowup scale is relatively low.

Gauge-invariant renormalization of four-quark operators

We study the renormalization of four-quark operators in one-loop perturbation theory. We employ a coordinate-space gauge-invariant renormalization scheme (GIRS), which can be advantageous compared to other schemes, especially in nonperturbative lattice investigations. From our perturbative calculations, we extract the conversion factors between GIRS and the modified minimal subtraction scheme (MS¯) at the next-to-leading order. As a by-product, we also obtain the relevant anomalous dimensions in the GIRS scheme. A formidable issue in the study of the four-quark operators is that operators with different Dirac matrices mix among themselves upon renormalization. We focus on both parity-conserving and parity-violating four-quark operators, which change flavor numbers by two units (ΔF=2). The extraction of the conversion factors entails the calculation of two-point Green’s functions involving products of two four-quark operators, as well as three-point Green’s functions with one four-quark and two bilinear operators. The significance of our results lies in their potential to refine our understanding of QCD phenomena, offering insights into the precision of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and shedding light on the nonperturbative treatment of complex mixing patterns associated with four-quark operators.

We explicitly show that this is in general not possible for mixed renormalisation schemes due to the presence of evanescent terms. In our numerical analysis, the new corrections are compared with already known two-loop contributions and the experimental uncertainty of the mass of the observed Higgs boson. While smaller than the already known two-loop corrections, the new terms are typically larger in size than the experimental uncertainty. This underlines the relevance of the so-far unknown electroweak two-loop contributions.

Infrared gluon propagator in the refined Gribov-Zwanziger scenario at one-loop order in the Landau gauge

The refined Gribov-Zwanziger (RGZ) action in the Landau gauge provides a local and renormalizable framework to account for the existence of infinitesimal Gribov copies in the path integral together with other relevant infrared effects such as the formation of condensates. The properties of the tree-level gluon propagator obtained in this setup have been thoroughly investigated over the past decade. It accommodates important properties seen in lattice simulations such as a finite value at vanishing momentum and positivity violation. Yet a comprehensive study about the stability of such properties against quantum corrections was lacking. In this work, we compute the gluon propagator in the RGZ scenario at one-loop order and implement an appropriate renormalization scheme in order to compare our findings with lattice data. Remarkably, the qualitative properties of the tree-level gluon propagator are preserved. In particular, the fits with lattice data show evidence for positivity violation and the existence of complex poles for SU(2) and SU(3) gauge groups. We comment on the results for the ghost propagator as well. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

New renormalization scheme in the two Higgs doublet models

We propose a new renormalization scheme in the two Higgs doublet models with a softly-broken Z2 symmetry and CP-conservation in the Higgs sector. In this scheme, counterterms for mixing angles of the Higgs bosons are determined by using the decay rates of the discovered Higgs boson h, i.e., h→τ+τ− and h→ZZ⁎→Zℓ+ℓ− at next leading order (NLO) instead of using the renormalized two-point functions which are adopted in the previous scheme. We require that the decay rates at NLO are determined to be the corresponding predictions at NLO in the Standard Model (SM) times square of the scaling factor which describes the deviation of h couplings at tree level from the SM value. The mixing angles then maintain the meaning of the “alignmentness”, i.e., how the properties of h are close to the SM predictions, while they lose such meaning in the previous scheme. We compare the predictions of the decay rates at NLO given in the new scheme and those in the previous scheme.

Next-to-leading-order electroweak correction to H→Z0γ

Inspired by the recent observation of the Higgs boson radiative decay into Z0 by and Collaborations, we investigate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) electroweak correction to this rare decay process in Standard Model (SM). Implementing the on shell renormalization scheme, we find that the magnitude of the NLO electroweak correction may reach 7% of the leading-order (LO) prediction, much more significant than that of the NLO QCD correction, which is merely about 0.3%. After incorporating the O(α) correction, the predicted partial width from various α schemes tend to converge to each other. Including both NLO electroweak and QCD corrections, the SM prediction for the branching fraction shifts from the LO value of (1.40–1.71)×10−3 to (1.55±0.06)×10−3, considerably lower than the measured value Bexp[H→Z0γ]=(3.4±1.1)×10−3. Resolving this discrepancy clearly calls for further theoretical investigations, and, more importantly, experimental efforts from and the prospective Higgs factories such as and .

Absorbing discretization effects with a massive renormalization scheme: The charm-quark mass

We present the first numerical implementation of the massive symmetric-momentum-subtraction (mSMOM) renormalization scheme and use it to calculate the charm-quark mass. Based on ensembles with three flavors of dynamical domain-wall fermions with lattice spacings in the range 0.11–0.08 fm, we demonstrate that the mass scale which defines the mSMOM scheme can be chosen such that the extrapolation has significantly smaller discretization effects than the SMOM scheme. Converting our results to the MS¯ scheme we obtain m¯c(3 GeV)=1.008(13) GeV and m¯c(m¯c)=1.292(12) GeV. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Two-loop electroweak corrections to the Higgs boson rare decay process H→Zγ

Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations jointly announced the first evidence of the rare Higgs boson decay channel H→Zγ, with a ratio of 2.2±0.7 times the leading order standard model (SM) prediction. In order to face this challenge, it is urgent to produce an even more accurate calculation within the SM. To this end, we calculate in this paper the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections to the H→Zγ process, in which the NLO quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections were found tiny. Our calculation finds that the inclusion of NLO EW corrections greatly enhances the prediction reliability. To tame the theoretical uncertainty, we adopt five different renormalization schemes. Combining our result with previous NLO QCD corrections and the signal-background interference, we conclude that the excess in H→Zγ cannot be explained within the SM. In fact, the incompatibility between the SM prediction and the LHC measurement of the concerned process is exacerbated upon considering the higher order EW corrections, which implies that something beyond the SM could be involved.

No-go for the formation of heavy mass Primordial Black Holes in Single Field Inflation

We examine the possibility of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) formation in single field models of inflation. Using the adiabatic or wave function renormalization scheme in the short range modes, we show that one-loop correction to the power spectrum is free from quadratic UV divergence. We consider a framework in which PBHs are produced during the transition from Slow Roll (SR) to Ultra Slow Roll (USR) followed by the end of inflation. We demonstrate that the renormalized power spectrum soften the contribution of the logarithmic IR divergence and severely restricts the possible mass range of produced PBHs in the said transition, namely, MPBH∼102g\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$M_\ extrm{PBH}\\sim 10^{2}\\,\ extrm{g}$$\\end{document}a^\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\hat{\ extrm{a}}$$\\end{document}la a no-go theorem.

Renormalon-based resummation of Bjorken polarised sum rule in holomorphic QCD

Approximate knowledge of the renormalon structure of the Bjorken polarised sum rule (BSR) Γ‾1p−n(Q2) leads to the corresponding BSR characteristic function that allows us to evaluate the leading-twist part of BSR. In our previous work [1], this evaluation (resummation) was performed using perturbative QCD (pQCD) coupling a(Q2)≡αs(Q2)/π in specific renormalisation schemes. In the present paper, we continue this work, by using instead holomorphic couplings [a(Q2)↦A(Q2)] that have no Landau singularities and thus require, in contrast to the pQCD case, no regularisation of the resummation formula. The D=2 and D=4 terms are included in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of inelastic BSR, and fits are performed to the available experimental data in a specific interval (Qmin2,Qmax2) where Qmax2=4.74GeV2. We needed relatively high Qmin2≈1.7GeV2 in the pQCD case since the pQCD coupling a(Q2) has Landau singularities at Q2≲1GeV2. Now, when holomorphic (AQCD) couplings A(Q2) are used, no such problems occur: for the 3δAQCD and 2δAQCD variants the preferred values are Qmin2≈0.6GeV2. The preferred values of αs in general cannot be unambiguously extracted, due to large uncertainties of the experimental BSR data. At a fixed value of αsMS‾(MZ2), the values of the D=2 and D=4 residue parameters are determined in all cases, with the corresponding uncertainties.

Renormalization of conformal infinity as a stretched horizon

Abstract In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of asymptotically flat spacetime in even dimensions d ⩾ 4 . We analyze the most general boundary condition and asymptotic symmetry compatible with Penrose’s definition of asymptotic null infinity I through conformal compactification. Following Penrose’s prescription and using a minimal version of the Bondi–Sachs gauge, we show that I is naturally equipped with a Carrollian stress tensor whose radial derivative defines the asymptotic Weyl tensor. This analysis describes asymptotic infinity as a stretched horizon in the conformally compactified spacetime. We establish that charge aspects conservation can be written as Carrollian Bianchi identities for the asymptotic Weyl tensor. We then provide a covariant renormalization for the asymptotic symplectic potential, which results in a finite symplectic flux and asymptotic charges. The renormalization scheme works even in the presence of logarithmic anomalies.

Æther coupling effects on casimir energy for self-interacting scalar field within extra dimension

This paper presents comprehensive calculations for thermal and first-order radiative corrections to the Casimir energy in systems involving self-interacting massive and massless scalar fields coupled with æther in a fifth compact dimension. The method used to compute the radiative correction to the Casimir energy differs from conventional approaches by applying a unique renormalization scheme that is consistent with specific boundary conditions or backgrounds. Despite this divergence from conventional methodologies, our results demonstrate consistency within established physical limits. Furthermore, employing a toy model, we calculated the total Casimir energy density in the bulk, taking into account both thermal and radiative corrections. We also provide a thorough characterization of the total Casimir energy density in the compact dimension, detailing its magnitude and sign using graphical representations and quantitative data.

Transition magnetic moment of Majorana neutrinos in the triplets next-to-minimal MSSM

The next-to-minimal supersymmetric Standard Model with triplets is an attractive extension of the Standard Model. It combines the advantages of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric Standard Model and the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model with triplets to give three tiny Majorana neutrinos masses via a type-I+II seesaw mechanism. With the on-shell renormalization scheme, we consider the neutrino masses up to one loop approximation. Applying the effective Lagrangian method, we study the transition magnetic moments of Majorana neutrinos and consider the normal hierarchy and inverse hierarchy neutrino mass spectra within the constraints of experimental data on neutrino oscillations. The solar neutrino transition magnetic moment is further deduced, and compared with the XENONnT experiment limit. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

A simple dirac prescription for two-loop anomalous dimension matrices

Position-space renormalization schemes for four-quark operators in HQET

X-space schemes are gauge-invariant, regulator-independent renormalization schemes that are defined by requiring position-space correlation functions of gauge-invariant operators to be equal to their noninteracting values at particular kinematic points. These schemes can be used to nonperturbatively renormalize composite operators in Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD), and by computing matching coefficients between the X-space scheme and MS¯\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ \\overline{\ extrm{MS}} $$\\end{document} in the dimensionally-regulated continuum, matrix elements calculated with LQCD can be converted to MS¯\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ \\overline{\ extrm{MS}} $$\\end{document}-renormalized matrix elements. Using X-space schemes for Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) operators has the additional benefit that appropriate ratios of position-space correlation functions cancel the power-divergent static-quark self-energy of Lattice HQET nonperturbatively.

Perturbative versus non-perturbative renormalization

Approximated functional renormalization group (FRG) equations lead to regulator-dependent β-functions, in analogy to the scheme-dependence of the perturbative renormalization group (pRG) approach. A scheme transformation redefines the couplings to relate the β-functions of the FRG method with an arbitrary regulator function to the pRG ones obtained in a given scheme. Here, we consider a periodic sine-Gordon scalar field theory in d = 2 dimensions and show that the relation of the FRG and pRG approaches is intricate. Although both the FRG and the pRG methods are known to be sufficient to obtain the critical frequency βc2=8π of the model independently of the choice of the regulator and the renormalization scheme, we show that one has to go beyond the standard pRG method (e.g. using an auxiliary mass term) or the Coulomb-gas representation in order to obtain the β-function of the wave function renormalization. This aspect makes the scheme transformation non-trivial. Comparing flow equations of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon theory without any scheme-transformation, i.e. redefinition of couplings, we find that the auxiliary mass pRG β-functions of the minimal subtraction scheme can be recovered within the FRG approach with the choice of the power-law regulator with b = 2, which therefore constitutes a preferred choice for the comparison of FRG and pRG flows.

Non-perturbative renormalisation and improvement of non-singlet tensor currents in Nf = 3 QCD

Hadronic matrix elements involving tensor currents play an important rôle in decays that allow to probe the consistency of the Standard Model via precision lattice QCD calculations. The non-singlet tensor current is a scale-dependent (anomalous) quantity. We fully resolve its renormalisation group (RG) running in the continuum by carrying out a recursive finite-size scaling technique. In this way ambiguities due to a perturbative RG running and matching to lattice data at low energies are eliminated. We provide the total renormalisation factor at a hadronic scale of 233 MeV, which converts the bare current into its RG-invariant form.Our calculation features three flavours of O(a) improved Wilson fermions and tree-level Symanzik-improved gauge action. We employ the (massless) Schrödinger functional renormalisation scheme throughout and present the first non-perturbative determination of the Symanzik counterterm cT derived from an axial Ward identity. We elaborate on various details of our calculations, including two different renormalisation conditions.

Lightcone and quasi distribution amplitudes for light octet and decuplet baryons

We present a comprehensive investigation of leading-twist lightcone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) and quasi distribution amplitudes (quasi-DAs) for light octet and decuplet baryons within large momentum effective theory. In LaMET, LCDAs can be factorized in terms of a hard kernel and quasi-DAs that are defined as spatial correlators and calculable on Lattice QCD. To renormalize quasi-DAs and eliminate the singular terms ln(μ2zi2\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ {\\mu}^2{z}_i^2 $$\\end{document}) in them, which undermine the efficacy in perturbative expansion, we adopt a hybrid renormalization scheme that combines the self-renormalization and ratio scheme. Through self-renormalization, we eliminate UV divergences and linear divergences at large spatial separations in quasi distribution amplitudes without introducing additional nonperturbative effects. By taking a ratio with respect to the zero-momentum matrix element, we effectively remove UV divergences at small spatial separations. Under the hybrid renormalization scheme, we calculate the hard kernels up to one-loop accuracy. It turns out that only four different hard kernels are needed for all leading-twist LCDAs of octet and decuplet baryons. These results are crucial for the lattice-based exploration of the LCDAs of a light baryon from the first principle of QCD.
