The pith

A complete lattice framework converts equal-time quasi-DAs into physical baryon light-cone distribution amplitudes.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Baryon light-cone distribution amplitudes are parametrized by two independent momentum fractions, which makes their first-principles calculation harder than for mesons. The paper supplies an end-to-end large-momentum effective theory pipeline that starts from equal-time three-quark quasi-distribution amplitudes computed on the lattice and produces the physical leading-twist LCDAs after renormalization and matching. Key technical steps include a hybrid renormalization scheme on the two-dimensional coordinate plane, a large-distance extrapolation based on the asymptotic fall-off of Euclidean correlators, and the corresponding one-loop matching kernels. The full procedure is demonstrated on the A-structure amplitude of the Lambda baryon using multiple lattice ensembles, with explicit control of continuum, pion-mass, and infinite-momentum extrapolations. The resulting infrastructure enables systematic, x-dependent determinations of baryon LCDAs.

Core claim

We present a systematic large-momentum effective theory framework for determining baryon leading-twist LCDAs from lattice QCD that covers the complete path from equal-time three-quark quasi-distribution amplitudes to physical baryon LCDAs, including formulation of the V, A, and T quasi-DAs, hybrid renormalization, large-λ extrapolation, and one-loop matching, as demonstrated on the Lambda-baryon A-structure.

What carries the argument

The large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) matching relation in the hybrid renormalization scheme that converts finite-momentum quasi-distribution amplitudes into light-cone distribution amplitudes.

If this is right

  • The V, A, and T quasi-DAs can be defined consistently with their spin-flavor and coordinate-space symmetries, including vanishing local limits for antisymmetric amplitudes.
  • Systematic uncertainties associated with the infinite-momentum limit, continuum extrapolation, and physical pion mass can be quantified for any baryon LCDA.
  • The same pipeline supplies the renormalization and matching tools needed for first-principles x-dependent baryon LCDAs.
  • Application to the Lambda baryon supplies a concrete template that can be repeated for the nucleon and other baryons.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The hybrid renormalization prescription developed for the (z1,z2) plane may simplify lattice calculations of other multi-parton correlators.
  • Once LCDAs for several baryons are available, comparisons with meson LCDAs could test flavor-symmetry relations at the amplitude level.
  • The large-distance extrapolation method could be tested on simpler objects such as meson LCDAs where independent results already exist.

Load-bearing premise

The newly developed large-λ extrapolation strategy based on the asymptotic large-distance behavior of Euclidean correlators accurately recovers the physical LCDAs.

What would settle it

A higher-momentum or finer-lattice computation of the same Lambda A-structure amplitude whose extrapolated and matched result differs by more than the quoted uncertainties from the result obtained with the seven ensembles used in the paper.

Baryon light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are inherently multidimensional objects parametrized by two independent longitudinal momentum fractions, making their first-principles determination substantially more challenging than that of meson LCDAs. We present a systematic large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) framework for determining baryon leading-twist LCDAs from lattice QCD. The framework covers the complete path from equal-time three-quark quasi-distribution amplitudes to physical baryon LCDAs. We formulate the leading-twist $V$, $A$, and $T$ quasi-DAs and analyze their spin-flavor and coordinate-space symmetries, including antisymmetric amplitudes with vanishing local limits. We develop a hybrid renormalization prescription on the $(z_1,z_2)$ plane, introduce a newly developed large-$\lambda$ extrapolation strategy based on the asymptotic large-distance behavior of Euclidean correlators, and derive the corresponding one-loop LaMET matching relation in the hybrid renormalization scheme. As a demonstration, we apply the complete analysis pipeline to the $\Lambda$-baryon $A$-structure quasi-DAs using seven $2+1$--flavor lattice ensembles, and use this amplitude to examine the impact of large-distance extrapolation, perturbative matching, and extrapolation to the continuum, physical-pion-mass, and infinite-momentum limits, together with the associated systematic uncertainties. This work provides the formalism, renormalization, extrapolation, and matching infrastructure for first-principles determinations of $x$-dependent baryon LCDAs.

Referee Report

0 major / 3 minor

Summary. The manuscript develops a systematic LaMET framework for baryon leading-twist LCDAs, formulating V/A/T quasi-DAs with their symmetries (including antisymmetric cases with vanishing local limits), introducing hybrid renormalization on the (z1,z2) plane, a new large-λ extrapolation from Euclidean correlator asymptotics, and the corresponding one-loop matching in that scheme. It demonstrates the full pipeline on the Λ-baryon A-structure quasi-DAs using seven 2+1-flavor ensembles and quantifies impacts from large-distance extrapolation, perturbative matching, and extrapolations to continuum, physical pion mass, and infinite momentum, along with associated systematics.

Significance. If the central derivations and extrapolation hold, the work supplies the complete infrastructure needed for first-principles x-dependent baryon LCDAs, a longstanding challenge due to their two-dimensional momentum-fraction dependence. Credit is due for the end-to-end pipeline (quasi-DAs through hybrid renormalization and matching), the novel large-λ strategy grounded in Euclidean asymptotics, and the multi-ensemble demonstration that permits explicit assessment of multiple systematic uncertainties.

minor comments (3)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the statement that the framework covers the 'complete path' from quasi-DAs to physical LCDAs would be strengthened by an explicit cross-reference to the section deriving the one-loop matching kernel in the hybrid scheme.
  2. [Formalism (spin-flavor and coordinate-space symmetries)] The discussion of coordinate-space symmetries for antisymmetric amplitudes notes vanishing local limits; an explicit numerical check or table entry confirming this property on the lattice ensembles would improve clarity.
  3. [Large-λ extrapolation strategy] The large-λ extrapolation is applied to the Λ A-structure; the manuscript should state the functional form assumed for the asymptotic large-distance behavior and the fitting range in λ explicitly.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity; derivation is self-contained

full rationale

The paper derives the full LaMET pipeline for baryon LCDAs with explicit new elements: definitions of V/A/T quasi-DAs and their symmetries, hybrid renormalization on the (z1,z2) plane, a large-λ extrapolation from Euclidean correlator asymptotics, and the one-loop matching kernel in that scheme. These steps are formulated equation-by-equation without reducing the output LCDAs to input parameters by construction or to self-citations whose validity is presupposed. The Λ-baryon demonstration quantifies extrapolation, matching, and continuum/physical-mass/infinite-momentum systematics on seven ensembles, providing independent content. Self-citations to prior LaMET work are foundational but not load-bearing for the baryon-specific results.

    These expressions are obtained by imposing the exchange symmetries of the Λ-baryon leading-twist amplitudes, VΛ(x123) =−V Λ(x213), A Λ(x123) = +AΛ(x213), T Λ(x123) =−T Λ(x213)

    Fully expanded LCDAs in the normalization convention of this work We now give the explicitV Λ(x123),A Λ(x123), andT Λ(x123) parameterizations used in our numerical fit. These expressions are obtained by imposing the exchange symmetries of the Λ-baryon leading-twist amplitudes, VΛ(x123) =−V Λ(x213), A Λ(x123) = +AΛ(x213), T Λ(x123) =−T Λ(x213). (E3) The re...

    These Φ/Π amplitudes are linear combinations of the same leading-twist LCDAsV,A, andT, rather than independent non-perturbative functions

    Convention difference with RQCD moments We now relate the aboveVΛ(x123),A Λ(x123), andT Λ(x123) parameterizations to the Φ/Π amplitudes used in RQCD studies [14–16]. These Φ/Π amplitudes are linear combinations of the same leading-twist LCDAsV,A, andT, rather than independent non-perturbative functions. This identification follows, for example, from the R...
