Hadron masses from fixed topology simulations: parity partners and SU(2) Yang-Mills results

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Lattice QCD simulations tend to get stuck in a single topological sector at fine lattice spacing, or when using chirally symmetric quarks. In such cases computed observables differ from their full QCD counterparts by finite size effects, which need to be understood on a quantitative level. We discuss extensions of existing relations from the literature between correlation functions at fixed topology and hadron masses at unfixed topology. Particular focus is put on disentangling positive and negative parity states, which mix, when the topological charge is fixed. We also present numerical results for SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory.
