Masses, Decay Constants and Electromagnetic Form-factors with Twisted Boundary Conditions
read the original abstract
Using Chiral Perturbation Theory at one-loop we analyze the consequences of twisted boundary conditions. We point out that due to the broken Lorentz and reflection symmetry a number of unexpected terms show up in the expressions. We explicitly discuss the pseudo-scalar octet masses, axial-vector and pseudo-scalar decay constants and electromagnetic form-factors. We show how the Ward identities are satisfied using the momentum dependent masses and the non-zero vacuum-expectation-values values for the electromagnetic (vector) currents. Explicit expressions at one-loop are provided and an appendix discusses the needed one-loop twisted finite volume integrals.

Decomposition of the axial-vector current in a finite box
In a finite box the axial-vector current matrix element between two nucleons requires a larger set of form factors than the usual two employed in infinite volume; the complete one-loop expressions are derived in SU(2)...
