abstract

The gradient flow in QCD is treated perturbatively through next-to-next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant. The evaluation of the relevant momentum and flow-time integrals is described, including various means of validation. For the vacuum expectation value of the action density, which turns out to be a useful quantity in lattice calculations, we find a very well-behaved perturbative series through NNLO. Quark mass effects are taken into account through NLO. The theoretical uncertainty due to renormalization scale variation is significantly reduced with respect to LO and NLO, as long as the flow time is smaller than about 0.1 fm.

Renormalization Group Approach to Confinement

hep-lat · 2025-09-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives α_S(μ) ≃ Λ_S²/μ² from a scale-invariant gluon condensate via gradient flow, reaching an infrared fixed point consistent with confinement.

Intrinsic Properties of Large CP Violation in the Complex Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

hep-ph · 2025-12-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Global scans of complex 2HDM show Type-I models maximize gauge CPV near light-Higgs degeneracy with high eEDM, Type-II suppress gauge CPV but permit large Yukawa CPV and low eEDM via cancellations, plus hidden CPV in the alignment limit via heavy-Higgs mixing angle alpha3.
