abstract

We use a discrete worldline representation in order to study the continuum limit of the one-loop expectation value of dimension two and four local operators in a background field. We illustrate this technique in the case of a scalar field coupled to a non-Abelian background gauge field. The first two coefficients of the expansion in powers of the lattice spacing can be expressed as sums over random walks on a d-dimensional cubic lattice. Using combinatorial identities for the distribution of the areas of closed random walks on a lattice, these coefficients can be turned into simple integrals. Our results are valid for an anisotropic lattice, with arbitrary lattice spacings in each direction.

Propagator from Nonperturbative Worldline Dynamics

hep-th · 2019-08-13 · reject · novelty 6.0

Worldline Monte Carlo with a fitted potential PDF gives an all-orders quenched propagator for S2QED, with a pole mass that drops toward zero near a critical coupling around 0.72.
