Highly-improved lattice field-strength tensor
read the original abstract
We derive an O(a^4)-improved lattice version of the continuum field-strength tensor. Discretization errors are reduced via the combination of several clover terms of various sizes, complemented by tadpole improvement. The resulting improved field-strength tensor is used to construct O(a^4)-improved topological charge and action operators. We compare the values attained by these operators as we cool several configurations to self-duality with a previously defined highly-improved action and assess the relative scale of the remaining discretization errors.

Topological susceptibility and excess kurtosis in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory
High-precision lattice computation yields χ_top^{1/4} = 198.1(0.7)(2.7) MeV for SU(3) Yang-Mills after continuum and infinite-volume extrapolation from seven spacings and volumes.
