- Refereed, Journal of High Energy Physics, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, CP-like symmetry with discrete and continuous groups and CP violation/restoration, Hiroshi Ohki; Shohei Uemura, Abstract
We study physical implications of general CP symmetry including CP-like symmetry. Various scattering amplitudes of CP asymmetry are calculated in CP-like symmetric models. We explicitly show that the CP-like transformation leads to a specific relation between different CP asymmetries. The resultant relation is similar to the one obtained in GUT baryogenesis and sphaleron processes, where we also obtain a required condition for generating particle number asymmetry in CP-like symmetric models. In addition, we propose a generalization of a CP-like transformation for continuous symmetry groups. Since the CP transformation is an outer automorphism, which depends on the internal symmetry group, it turns out that the physical CP and CP-like symmetries can be mutually converted through the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of the internal symmetry. We investigate properties of physical CP asymmetry in both CP and CP-like symmetric phases, and find that the spontaneous CP violation and restoration can be observed even in models with continuous groups. We demonstrate that CP-like symmetric models with continuous Lie groups can be naturally realized in physical CP symmetric models through the SSB., 29 Oct. 2024, 2024, 10, Scientific journal, 10.1007/jhep10(2024)213 - Refereed, Journal of High Energy Physics, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Modular origin of mass hierarchy: Froggatt-Nielsen like mechanism, Hitomi Kuranaga; Hiroshi Ohki; Shohei Uemura, Abstract
We study Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) like flavor models with modular symmetry. The FN mechanism is a convincing solution to the flavor puzzle in the quark sector. The FN mechanism requires an extra U(1) gauge symmetry which is broken at high energies. Alternatively, in the framework of modular symmetry the modular weights can play the role of the FN charges of the extra U(1) symmetry. Based on the FN-like mechanism with modular symmetry we present new flavor models for the quark sector. Assuming that the three generations have a common representation under the modular symmetry, our models simply reproduce the FN-like Yukawa matrices. We also show that the realistic mass hierarchy and mixing angles, which are related to each other through the modular parameters and a scalar vev, can be realized in models with several finite modular groups (and their double covering groups) without unnatural hierarchical parameters., Jul. 2021, 2021, 7, Scientific journal, 10.1007/jhep07(2021)068 - Refereed, Physical Review D, American Physical Society (APS), Towards fully nonperturbative computations of inelastic ℓN scattering cross sections from lattice QCD, Hidenori Fukaya; Shoji Hashimoto; Takashi Kaneko; Hiroshi Ohki, 22 Dec. 2020, 102, 11, Scientific journal, 10.1103/physrevd.102.114516

We study the modular invariance in magnetized torus models. The modular invariant flavor model is a recently proposed hypothesis for solving the flavor puzzle, where the flavor symmetry originates from modular invariance. In this framework, coupling constants such as Yukawa couplings are also transformed under the flavor symmetry. We show that the low-energy effective theory of magnetized torus models is invariant under a specific subgroup of the modular group. Since Yukawa couplings as well as chiral zero modes transform under the modular group, the above modular subgroup (referred to as modular flavor symmetry) provides a new type of modular invariant flavor models with D4×Z2, (Z4×Z2)⋊Z2, and (Z8×Z2)⋊Z2. We also find that conventional discrete flavor symmetries which arise in magnetized torus model are noncommutative with the modular flavor symmetry. Combining both symmetries, we obtain a larger flavor symmetry, which is the semidirect product of the conventional flavor symmetry and the modular flavor symmetry for the nonvanishing Wilson line. For the vanishing Wilson line, we have additional Z2 symmetry, i.e., parity, which is the unique common element between the conventional flavor symmetry and the modular flavor symmetry., Oct. 2020, 102, 8, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevD.102.085008
- Refereed, Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitational waves from walking technicolor, Kohtaroh Miura; Hiroshi Ohki; Saeko Otani; Koichi Yamawaki, © 2019, The Author(s). We study gravitational waves from the first-order electroweak phase transition in the SU(Nc) gauge theory with Nf/Nc ≫ 1 (“large Nf QCD”) as a candidate for the walking technicolor, which is modeled by the U(Nf) × U(Nf) linear sigma model with classical scale symmetry (without mass term), particularly for Nf = 8 (“one-family model”). This model exhibits spontaneous breaking of the scale symmetry as well as the U(Nf) × U(Nf) radiatively through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism à la Gildener-Weinberg, thus giving rise to a light pseudo dilaton (technidilaton) to be identified with the 125 GeV Higgs. This model possess a strong first-order electroweak phase transition due to the resultant Coleman-Weinberg type potential. We estimate the bubble nucleation that exhibits an ultra supercooling and then the signal for a stochastic gravitational wave produced via the strong first-order electroweak phase transition. We show that the amplitude can be reached to the expected sensitivities of the LISA., 01 Oct. 2019, 2019, 10, Scientific journal, 10.1007/JHEP10(2019)194

Published by the American Physical Society. We propose and apply a new approach to determining |Vus| using dispersion relations with weight functions having poles at Euclidean (spacelike) momentum which relate strange hadronic τ decay distributions to hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) functions obtained from lattice quantum chromodynamics. We show examples where spectral integral contributions from the region where experimental data have large errors or do not exist are strongly suppressed but accurate determinations of the relevant lattice HVP combinations remain possible. The resulting |Vus| agrees well with determinations from K physics and three-family Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity. Advantages of this new approach over the conventional hadronic τ decay determination employing flavor-breaking sum rules are also discussed., 16 Nov. 2018, 121, 20, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.202003
- Refereed, Physical Review D, Nucleon charges with dynamical overlap fermions, N. Yamanaka; S. Hashimoto; T. Kaneko; H. Ohki, © 2018 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. We calculate the scalar and tensor charges of the nucleon in 2+1-flavor lattice QCD, for which the systematics of the renormalization of the disconnected diagram is well controlled. Numerical simulations are performed at a single lattice spacing a=0.11 fm. We simulate four pion masses, which cover a range of mπ∼290-540 MeV, and a single strange quark mass close to its physical value. The statistical accuracy is improved by employing the so-called low-mode averaging technique and the truncated solver method. We study up, down, and strange quark contributions to the nucleon charges by calculating disconnected diagrams using the all-to-all quark propagator. Chiral symmetry is exactly preserved by using the overlap quark action to avoid operator mixing among different flavors, which complicates the renormalization of scalar and tensor matrix elements and leads to possibly large contamination to the small strange quark contributions. We also study the nucleon axial charge with a contribution from the disconnected diagram. Our results are in reasonable agreement with experiments and previous lattice studies., 25 Sep. 2018, 98, 5, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevD.98.054516
- EPJ Web of Conferences, EDP Sciences, Computing nucleon EDM on a lattice, Michael Abramczyk; Sinya Aoki; Tom Blum; Taku Izubuchi; Hiroshi Ohki; Sergey Syritsyn, I will discuss briefly recent changes in the methodology of computing the baryon EDM on a lattice. The associated correction substantially reduces presently existing lattice values for the proton and neutron theta-induced EDMs, so that even the most precise previous lattice results become consistent with zero. On one hand, this change removes previous disagreements between these lattice results and the phenomenological estimates of the nucleon EDM. On the other hand, the nucleon EDM becomes much harder to compute on a lattice. In addition, I will review the progress in computing quark chromo-EDM-induced nucleon EDM using chiral quark action., 26 Mar. 2018, 175, International conference proceedings, 10.1051/epjconf/201817506027

- Refereed, EPJ Web of Conferences, EDP Sciences, | Vus | determination from inclusive strange tau decay and lattice HVP, Peter Boyle; Renwick James Hudspith; Taku Izubuchi; Andreas Jüttner; Christoph Lehner; Randy Lewis; Kim Maltman; Hiroshi Ohki; Antonin Portelli; Matthew Spraggs, We propose and apply a novel approach to determining |Vus| which uses inclusive strange hadronic tau decay data and hadronic vacuum polarization functions (HVPs) computed on the lattice. The experimental and lattice data are related through dispersion relations which employ a class of weight functions having poles at space-like momentum. Implementing this approach using lattice data generated by the RBC/UKQCD collaboration, we show examples of weight functions which strongly suppress spectral integral contributions from the region where experimental data either have large uncertainties or do not exist while at the same time allowing accurate determinations of relevant lattice HVPs. Our result for |Vus| is in good agreement with determinations from K physics and 3-family CKM unitarity. The advantages of the new approach over the conventional sum rule analysis will be discussed., 26 Mar. 2018, 175, International conference proceedings, 10.1051/epjconf/201817513011
- Refereed, On Lattice Calculation of Electric Dipole Moments and Form Factors of the Nucleon, M. Abramczyk; S. Aoki; T. Blum; T. Izubuchi; H. Ohki; S. Syritsyn, We analyze commonly used expressions for computing the nucleon electric
dipole form factors (EDFF) $F_3$ and moments (EDM) on a lattice and find that
they lead to spurious contributions from the Pauli form factor $F_2$ due to
inadequate definition of these form factors when parity mixing of lattice
nucleon fields is involved. Using chirally symmetric domain wall fermions, we
calculate the proton and the neutron EDFF induced by the CP-violating quark
chromo-EDM interaction using the corrected expression. In addition, we
calculate the electric dipole moment of the neutron using background electric
field that respects time translation invariance and boundary conditions, and
find that it decidedly agrees with the new formula but not the old formula for
$F_3$. Finally, we analyze some selected lattice results for the nucleon EDM
and observe that after the correction is applied, they either agree with zero
or are substantially reduced in magnitude, thus reconciling their difference
from phenomenological estimates of the nucleon EDM., 26 Jan. 2017, 10.1103/PhysRevD.96.014501 - Refereed, Light flavor-singlet scalars and walking signals in $N_f=8$ QCD on the lattice, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Ed Bennett; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, Based on the highly improved staggered quark action, we perform lattice
simulations of $N_f=8$ QCD and confirm our previous observation of a
flavor-singlet scalar meson (denoted as $\sigma$) as light as the pion and
various "walking signals" through low-lying spectra, with higher statistics,
smaller fermion masses $m_f$, and larger volumes. We measure $M_\pi$, $F_\pi$,
$M_\rho$, $M_{a_0}$, $M_{a_1}$, $M_{b_1}$, $M_N$, $M_\sigma$, $F_\sigma$,
$\langle \bar{\psi} \psi\rangle$ (both directly and through the GMOR relation),
and the string tension. The data are consistent with the spontaneously broken
phase of the chiral symmetry, in agreement with the previous results: ratios of
the quantities to $M_\pi$ monotonically increase in the smaller $m_f$ region
towards the chiral limit similarly to $N_f=4$ QCD, in sharp contrast to
$N_f=12$ QCD where the ratios become flattened. The hyperscaling relation holds
with roughly a universal value of the anomalous dimension, $\gamma_m \simeq 1$,
with a notable exception of $M_\pi$ with $\gamma_m \simeq 0.6$ as in the
previous results. This is a salient feature ("walking signal") of $N_f=8$,
unlike either $N_f=4$ which has no hyperscaling relation at all, or $N_f=12$
QCD which exhibits universal hyperscaling. We further confirm the previous
observation of the light $\sigma$ with mass comparable to the pion in the
studied $m_f$ region. In a chiral limit extrapolation of the $\sigma$ mass
using the dilaton chiral perturbation theory and also using the simple linear
fit, we find the value consistent with the 125 GeV Higgs boson within errors.
Our results suggest that the theory could be a good candidate for walking
technicolor model, having anomalous dimension $\gamma_m \simeq 1$ and a light
flavor-singlet scalar meson as a technidilaton, which can be identified with
the 125 GeV composite Higgs in $N_f=8$ one-family model., 22 Oct. 2016, 10.1103/PhysRevD.96.014508 - Refereed, NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS PROCEEDINGS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Lattice Studies on 8-Flavor QCD in The Light of Physics Beyond The Standard Model, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Ed Bennett; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, We report the latest results of the LatKMI collaboration on 8-flavor QCD using Monte Carlo simulations of the lattice gauge theory. The subject receives growing interest with regards to physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). We show that a flavor-singlet scalar meson (sigma) emerges as one of the lightest bound states and can be a composite Higgs boson with mass 125 GeV. The light sigma may be a technidilaton, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of the approximate scale symmetry, which results from a slowly running (walking) coupling constant associated with an infra-red fixed point. Consistently to this reasoning, a mass anomalous dimension gamma is found to be large gamma similar to 1. We discuss the applicability of 8-flavor QCD to the BSM model building., Jan. 2016, 270, 242, 246, International conference proceedings, 10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2016.02.048

the pion in $N_f=8$ QCD on the lattice, using the Highly Improved Staggered
Quark action. Such a light scalar meson can be regarded as a composite Higgs
with mass 125 GeV. In accord with our previous lattice results showing that the
theory exhibits walking behavior, the light scalar may be a technidilaton, a
pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of the approximate scale symmetry in walking
technicolor., 19 Mar. 2014, 10.1103/PhysRevD.89.111502 - Refereed, Flavor landscape of 10D SYM theory with magnetized extra dimensions, Hiroyuki Abe; Tatsuo Kobayashi; Hiroshi Ohki; Keigo Sumita; Yoshiyuki Tatsuta, We study the flavor landscape of particle physics models based on a
ten-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory compactified on magnetized tori
preserving four-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry. Recently, we
constructed a semi-realistic model which contains the minimal supersymmetric
standard model (MSSM) using an Ansatz of magnetic fluxes and orbifolding
projections. However, we can consider more various configurations of magnetic
fluxes and orbifolding projections preserving four-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$
supersymmetry. We research systematically such possibilities for leading to
MSSM-like models and study their phenomenological aspects., 07 Jul. 2013, 10.1007/JHEP04(2014)007 - Refereed, Light composite scalar in twelve-flavor QCD on the lattice, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, Based on lattice simulations using highly improved staggered quarks for
twelve-flavor QCD with several bare fermion masses, we observe a flavor-singlet
scalar state lighter than the pion in the correlators of fermionic
interpolating operators. The same state is also investigated using correlators
of gluonic interpolating operators. Combined with our previous study, that
showed twelve-flavor QCD to be consistent with being in the conformal window,
we infer that the lightness of the scalar state is due to infrared
conformality. This result shed some light on the possibility of a light
composite Higgs boson ("technidilaton") in walking technicolor theories., 26 May 2013, 10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.162001 - Refereed, Walking signals in Nf=8 QCD on the lattice, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, We investigate chiral and conformal properties of the lattice QCD with eight
flavors (Nf=8) through meson spectrum using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark
(HISQ) action. We also compare our results with those of Nf=12 and Nf=4 which
we study on the same systematics. We find that the decay constant F_pi of the
pseudoscalar meson "pion" is non-zero, with its mass M_pi consistent with zero,
both in the chiral limit extrapolation of the chiral perturbation theory
(ChPT). We also measure other quantities which we find are in accord with the
pi data results: The rho meson mass is consistent with non-zero in the chiral
limit, and so is the chiral condensate, with its value neatly coinciding with
that from the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation in the chiral limit. Thus our
data for the Nf=8 QCD are consistent with the spontaneously broken chiral
symmetry. Remarkably enough, while the Nf=8 data near the chiral limit are well
described by the ChPT, those for the relatively large fermion bare mass m_f
away from the chiral limit actually exhibit a finite-size hyperscaling
relation, suggesting a large anomalous dimension gamma_m ~ 1. This implies that
there exists a remnant of the infrared conformality, and suggests that a
typical technicolor ("one-family model") as modeled by the Nf=8 QCD can be a
walking technicolor theory having an approximate scale invariance with large
anomalous dimension gamma_m ~ 1., 27 Feb. 2013, 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.094511 - Proceedings of Science, Sissa Medialab Srl, Walking signals in eight-flavor QCD on the lattice, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, We investigate walking signals of Nf = 8 QCD through the meson spectrum, using the HISQ action. Our data for Nf = 8 QCD are consistent with chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) in their chiral extrapolations, hence with the theory exhibiting spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. Remarkably, while the Nf = 8 data near the chiral limit are well described by the ChPT, those for the relatively large fermion bare mass mf away from the chiral limit actually exhibit a finite-size hyperscaling relation, suggesting a large anomalous dimension ?m ~ 1. This implies that there exists a remnant of the infrared conformality, and suggests that a typical “one-family" technicolor model, as modeled by Nf = 8 QCD, can be a walking technicolor theory., 2013, 2013-, International conference proceedings

It is found that the flavor-singlet scalar is as light as Nambu-Goldstone pseudoscalar in this theory. Since this property is similar to Nf = 12 QCD, where we found consistent behavior with conformal theory, it can be regarded as a signal of approximate scale symmetry in this theory. Thus, the light scalar may be a technidilaton, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of the approximate scale symmetry in walking technicolor. We discuss the possibility that such a light scalar meson can be regarded as a composite Higgs with mass 125 GeV., 2013, 2013-, International conference proceedings

The finite-size scaling test of the conformal hypothesis is performed for low-lying meson spectra. Our result is consistent with the conformal hypothesis for mass anomalous dimension ? ~ 0.4 - 0.5. Furthermore, the flavor-singlet scalar is found to be lighter than the pion, in sharp contrast to real-life QCD.

The simulation was carried out based on the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action. In this proceedings, we report preliminary results on the spectrum, analyzed through the chiral perturbation theory and the finite-size hyperscaling.

We investigate properties of 16-flavor QCD by lattice simulation with highly improved action setup (HISQ/tree) at two lattice spacings. We present preliminary results for the mass of the lightest pseudoscalar meson at non-zero fermion mass.

Yang-Mills (SYM) theory compactified on magnetized tori preserving
four-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry. The low-energy spectrum contains
the minimal supersymmetric standard model with hierarchical Yukawa couplings
caused by a wavefunction localization of the chiral matter fields due to the
existence of magnetic fluxes, allowing a semi-realistic pattern of the quark
and the lepton masses and mixings. We show supersymmetric flavor structures at

Aoki; S. Hashimoto; T. Kaneko; H. Matsufuru; J. Noaki; T. Onogi, We calculate the strange quark content of the nucleon in 2+1-flavor lattice
QCD. Chirally symmetric overlap fermion formulation is used to avoid the
contamination from up and down quark contents due to an operator mixing between
strange and light scalar operators, \bar{s}s and \bar{u}u+\bar{d}d. At a
lattice spacing a=0.112(1) fm, we perform calculations at four values of
degenerate up and down quark masses, which cover a range of the pion mass M_pi
\simeq 300-540 MeV. We employ two different methods: one is a direct method
where we calculate the strange quark content by directly inserting the strange
scalar operator. The other is an indirect method where the quark content is
extracted from a derivative of the nucleon mass in terms of the strange quark
mass. With these two methods we obtain consistent results with each other. Our
best estimate f_{T_s}=0.009(15)(16) is in good agreement with our previous

David Lin; Kenji Ogawa; Hiroshi Ohki; Eigo Shintani, We present details of a lattice study of infrared behaviour in SU(3) gauge
theory with twelve massless fermions in the fundamental representation. Using
the step-scaling method, we compute the coupling constant in this theory over a
large range of scale. The renormalisation scheme in this work is defined by the
ratio of Polyakov loops in the directions with different boundary conditions.
We closely examine systematic effects, and find that they are dominated by
errors arising from the continuum extrapolation. Our investigation suggests
that SU(3) gauge theory with twelve flavours contains an infrared fixed point., 28 May 2012, 10.1007/JHEP08(2012)096 - Refereed, Superfield description of 10D SYM theory with magnetized extra dimensions, Hiroyuki Abe; Tatsuo Kobayashi; Hiroshi Ohki; Keigo Sumita, We present a four-dimensional (4D) ${\cal N}=1$ superfield description of
supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in ten-dimensional (10D) spacetime with
certain magnetic fluxes in compactified extra dimensions preserving partial
${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry out of full ${\cal N}=4$. We derive a 4D effective
action in ${\cal N}=1$ superspace directly from the 10D superfield action via
dimensional reduction, and identify its dependence on dilaton and geometric
moduli superfields. A concrete model for three generations of quark and lepton
superfields are also shown. Our formulation would be useful for building
various phenomenological models based on magnetized SYM theories or D-branes., 24 Apr. 2012, 10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2012.05.012 - Refereed, Study of the conformal hyperscaling relation through the Schwinger-Dyson equation, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, We study corrections to the conformal hyperscaling relation in the conformal
window of the large Nf QCD by using the ladder Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation as
a concrete dynamical model. From the analytical expression of the solution of
the ladder SD equation, we identify the form of the leading mass correction to
the hyperscaling relation. We find that the anomalous dimension, when
identified through the hyperscaling relation neglecting these corrections,
yields a value substantially lower than the one at the fixed point \gamma_m^*
for large mass region. We further study finite-volume effects on the
hyperscaling relation, based on the ladder SD equation in a finite space-time
with the periodic boundary condition. We find that the finite-volume
corrections on the hyperscaling relation are negligible compared with the mass
correction. The anomalous dimension, when identified through the finite-size
hyperscaling relation neglecting the mass corrections as is often done in the
lattice analyses, yields almost the same value as that in the case of the
infinite space-time neglecting the mass correction, i.e., a substantially lower
value than \gamma_m^* for large mass. We also apply the finite-volume SD
equation to the chiral-symmetry-breaking phase and find that when the theory is
close to the critical point such that the dynamically generated mass is much
smaller than the explicit breaking mass, the finite-size hyperscaling relation
is still operative. We also suggest a concrete form of the modification of the
finite-size hyperscaling relation by including the mass correction, which may
be useful to analyze the lattice data., 19 Jan. 2012, 10.1103/PhysRevD.85.074502 - Lecture Notes in Physics, Springer, SN, Hajime Ishimori; Tatsuo Kobayashi; Hiroshi Ohki; Hiroshi Okada; Yusuke Shimizu; Morimitsu Tanimoto, In this chapter, we study the symmetric group SN, which consists of all possible permutations among N objects.

constant is obtained from the Creutz ratio in lattice simulations and the
corresponding perturbative coefficient at the leading order. The latter can be
calculated by adopting the zeta-function resummation techniques. We perform a
benchmark test of our scheme in quenched QCD with the plaquette gauge action.
The running of the coupling constant is determined by applying the step-scaling
procedure. Using several methods to improve the statistical accuracy, we show
that the running coupling constant can be determined in a wide range of energy

the universal Green-Schwarz (GS) condition, indicating that these anomalies are
canceled by the GS mechanism. An exact relation between the anomaly
coefficients of the discrete R-symmetries and one-loop beta-function
coefficients is obtained. We also find that the discrete R-symmetries have a
good chance to be unbroken down to the supersymmetry breaking scale. Even below
this scale a $Z_2$ subgroup is unbroken, which may be an origin of the R-parity
of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Relations between the R-symmetry

whereas an upper bound consists of 16 fixed tori per twisted sector. Thus,

relevant both for understanding the strong dynamics of QCD and for constructing
strongly interacting extensions of the Standard Model (e.g. UV completions of
composite Higgs models). In order to contrast these many-flavors strongly
interacting theories with QCD, we study the flavor-singlet spectrum as an
interesting probe. In fact, some composite Higgs models require the Higgs boson
to be the lightest flavor-singlet scalar in the spectrum of a strongly
interacting new sector with a well defined hierarchy with the rest of the
states. Moreover, introducing many light flavors at fixed number of colors can
influence the dynamics of the lightest flavor-singlet pseudoscalar. We present
the on-going study of these flavor-singlet channels using multiple
interpolating operators on high-statistics ensembles generated by the LatKMI
collaboration and we compare results with available data obtained by the
Lattice Strong Dynamics collaboration. For the theory with 8 flavors, the two

Zanotti, Two methods for determining |V-us| employing inclusive hadronic tau decay data are discussed. The first is the conventional flavor-breaking sum rule determination whose usual implementation produces results similar to 3 sigma low compared to three-family unitary expectations. The second is a novel approach combining experimental strange hadronic tau distributions with lattice light-strange current-current two-point function data. Preliminary explorations of the latter show the method promises |V-us| determinations competitive with those from K-l3 and Gamma[K-mu 2]/Gamma[ (mu 2)]. For the former, systematic issues in the conventional implementation are investigated. Unphysical dependences of |V-us| on the choice of sum rule weight, w, and upper limit, s(0), of the weighted experimental spectral integrals are observed, the source of these problems identified and a new implementation which overcomes these problems developed. Lattice results are shown to provide a tool for quantitatively assessing truncation uncertainties for the slowly converging D = 2 OPE series. The results for |V-us| from this new implementation are shown to be free of unphysical w- and s(0)-dependences, and similar to 0.0020 higher than those produced by the conventional implementation. With preliminary new K pi branching fraction results as input, we find |V-us| in excellent agreement with that obtained from K-l3, and compatible within errors with expectations from three-family unitarity., Sep. 2016, 31, 29, Book review, 10.1142/S0217732316300305

while the corresponding twelve- and four-flavour appear IR-conformal and
confining respectively. Looking at the simulations performed by the LatKMI
collaboration of these theories, we use the topological susceptibility as an
additional probe of the IR dynamics. By drawing a comparison with SU(3) pure
gauge theory, we see a dynamical quenching effect emerge at larger number of
flavours, which is suggestive of emerging near-conformal and conformal
behaviour., 18 Jan. 2016 - Not Refereed, Walking and conformal dynamics in many-flavor QCD, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Ed Bennett; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihito Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, In the search for a realistic walking technicolor model, QCD with many

has been investigating the SU(3) gauge theory with four fundamental fermions
(four-flavor QCD). The main purpose of studying four-flavor QCD is to provide a
qualitative comparison to $N_f= 8$, $12$, $16$ QCD; however, a quantitative
comparison to real-world QCD is also interesting. To make such comparisons more
meaningful, it is desirable to use the same kind of lattice action
consistently, so that qualitative difference of different theories are less
affected by artifacts of lattice discretization. Here, we adopt the
highly-improved staggered quark action with the tree-level Symanzik gauge
action (HISQ/tree), which is exactly the same as the setup for our simulations
for $SU(3)$ gauge theories with $N_f=8$, $12$ and $16$ fundamental
fermions~\cite{Aoki:2013xza, Aoki:2012eq, Aoki:2014oma}. In the next section,
we show the fermion mass dependence of $F_\pi$, $\langle\bar{\psi}\psi\rangle$,
$M_\pi$, $M_\rho$, $M_N$ and their chiral extrapolations. In section 3,

a single lattice spacing 0.12 fm and at a strange quark mass close to its

relevant nucleon correlation functions, and the disconnected quark loop is
efficiently calculated by using the all-to-all quark propagator. We present our
preliminary results for the isoscalar and isovector charges obtained at pion

Huang; Issaku Kanamori; C. -J. David Lin; Kenji Ogawa; Hiroshi Ohki; Alberto Ramos; Enrico Rinaldi, We present our investigation of SU(2) gauge theory with 8 flavours, and SU(3)
gauge theory with 12 flavours. For the SU(2) case, at strong bare coupling,
$\beta \lesssim 1.45$, the distribution of the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirac
operator can be described by chiral random matrix theory for the Gaussian
symplectic ensemble. Our preliminary result indicates that the chiral phase
transition in this theory is of bulk nature. For the SU(3) theory, we use
high-precision lattice data to perform the step-scaling study of the coupling,
$g_{ { \rm GF } }$, in the Gradient Flow scheme. We carefully examine the
reliability of the continuum extrapolation in the analysis, and conclude that
the scaling behaviour of this SU(3) theory is not governed by possible infrared
conformality at $g_{ { \rm GF } }^{2} \lesssim 6$., 06 Nov. 2015 - Not Refereed, Lattice study of the scalar and baryon spectra in many-flavor QCD, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Ed Bennett; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, In the search for a composite Higgs boson in walking technicolor models, many

Based on lattice simulations of this theory with the HISQ action, we will
present our preliminary results on the scalar decay constant using the

could be a dark matter candidate. Combining these two results, implications for

collaboration. In this proceeding we present our updated results for the
spectrum obtained with the HISQ action at two lattice spacings, several volumes
and fermion masses. In particular, we emphasize the existence of a
flavor-singlet scalar state parametrically light with respect to the rest of
the spectrum, first reported in our paper. This feature is expected to be
present for theories in the conformal window, but the lattice calculation of
such a state is difficult and requires noise-reduction techniques together with
large statistics, in order to evaluate disconnected diagrams. Being able to
provide a robust observed connection between a light flavor-singlet scalar and
(near-)conformality is an important step towards observing a light composite
Higgs boson in walking technicolor theories on the lattice. We also show
updated results for the mass anomalous dimension $\gamma_m$ obtained from
various spectral quantities, including the string tension, under the assumption
that the theory is inside the conformal window., 27 Jan. 2015 - Not Refereed, Phase Structure Study of SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory with 8 Flavors, Cynthia Y. -H. Huang; C. -J.

lattice gauge theory with 8 fermion flavors in the fundamental representation.
The simulations are performed with unimproved staggered fermions and the
plaquette gauge action. One bulk phase transition is observed through the
measurement of the plaquette. The results of cold-start and hot-start
simulations, as well as the hysteresis study, indicate the order of this
transition can be weakly first order. Using the smeared Polyakov loops, and a
method inspired by the constraint effective potential, we study the vacuum
structure near the confining-deconfining phase transition. The Dirac operator
eigenvalue spectrum is investigated, where further analysis is needed to
clarify the properties of the chiral phase structure., 31 Oct. 2014 - Not Refereed, SU(3) gauge theory with 12 flavours in a twisted box, C. -J. David Lin; Kenji Ogawa; Hiroshi Ohki; Alberto Ramos; Eigo Shintani, We present preliminary result for the step-scaling study of the coupling
constant with the Yang-Mills gradient flow, in the twelve-favour SU(3) gauge
theory. In this work, the lattice simulation is performed using unimproved
staggered fermions and the Wilson plaquette gauge action, from which the
gradient flow is also implemented. Imposing twisted boundary condition a'la
t'Hooft and Parisi, our calculation is performed at zero fermion mass. The
renormalised coupling constant is extracted via the computation of the energy
density. In order to examine the reliability of the continuum extrapolation, we
investigate this coupling constant using two different lattice discretisations.
Our result shows that in order to control the systematic effects in the
continuum extrapolation, it is necessary to implement a large enough
gradient-flow time. In the current calculation, the gauge-field averaging
radius corresponding to the flow time has to be as large as 40% of the lattice
size., 31 Oct. 2014 - Not Refereed, JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS, SPRINGER, Non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetries of 10D SYM theory with magnetized extra dimensions, Hiroyuki Abe; Tatsuo Kobayashi; Hiroshi Ohki; Keigo Sumita; Yoshiyuki Tatsuta, We study discrete flavor symmetries of the models based on a ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills (10D SYM) theory compactified on magnetized tori.

theory with the degenerate twelve fermions in the fundamental representation
using a HISQ-type action at a fixed $\beta$. In order to reduce the large
statistical error coming from the vacuum-subtracted disconnected correlator, we
employ a noise reduction method and a large number of configurations. We
observe that the flavor-singlet scalar is lighter than the pion in this theory
from the calculations with the fermion bilinear and gluonic operators. This
peculiar feature is considered to be due to the infrared conformality of this
theory, and it is a promissing signal for a walking technicolor, where a light
composite Higgs boson is expected to emerge by approximate conformal dynamics., 27 Nov. 2013 - Not Refereed, Gluonic observables and the scalar spectrum of twelve-flavour QCD, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, We measure glueball masses and the string tension in twelve-flavour QCD,
aiming at comparing the emerging gluonic spectrum to the mesonic one. When
approaching the critical surface at zero quark mass, the hierarchy of masses in
the different sectors of the spectrum gives a new handle to determine the
existence of an infrared fixed point. We describe the details of our gluonic
measurements and the results obtained on a large number of gauge configurations
generated with the HISQ action. In particular, we focus on the scalar glueball
and its mixing with a flavour-singlet fermionic state, which is lighter than
the pseudoscalar (would-be pion) state. The results are interesting in view of
a light composite Higgs boson in walking technicolor theories., 03 Oct. 2013 - Not Refereed, A light composite scalar in eight-flavor QCD on the lattice, Yasumichi Aoki; Tatsumi Aoyama; Masafumi Kurachi; Toshihide Maskawa; Kohtaroh Miura; Kei-ichi Nagai; Hiroshi Ohki; Enrico Rinaldi; Akihiro Shibata; Koichi Yamawaki; Takeshi Yamazaki, In search for a composite Higgs boson (techni-dilaton) in the walking
technicolor, we present our preliminary results on the first observation of a

the Nf=8 QCD, which was found in our previous paper to have spontaneous chiral
symmetry breaking together with remnants of the conformality. Based on
simulations with the HISQ-type action on several lattice sizes with various
fermion masses, we find evidence of a flavor-singlet scalar meson with mass
comparable to that of the Nambu-Goldstone pion in both the small fermion-mass
region, where chiral perturbation theory works, and the intermediate
fermion-mass region where the hyperscaling relation holds. We further discuss
its chiral limit extrapolation in comparison with other states studied in our
previous paper: the scalar has a mass much smaller than that of the vector
meson, which is compared to the Nambu-Goldstone pion having a vanishing mass in
that limit., 03 Sep. 2013 - Not Refereed, 日本物理学会講演概要集, Non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetry from magnetized extra dimensions, ABE HIROYUKI; KOBAYASHI TATSUO; OKI HIROSHI; TSUNODA KEIGO; TATSUTA YOSHIYUKI, 26 Aug. 2013, 68, 2, 1

near the chiral limit, is mandatory in order to establish if one of these
models realises the Walking Technicolor scenario. Although lattice technologies
to study the mesonic spectrum are well developed, scalar flavour-singlet states
still require extra effort to be determined. In addition, gluonic observables
usually require large-statistic simulations and powerful noise-reduction
techniques. In the following, we present useful spectroscopic methods to
investigate scalar glueballs and scalar flavour-singlet mesons, together with
the current status of the scalar spectrum in N_f = 12 QCD from the LatKMI

in LQCD with 8 HISQ quarks by comparing with the 4-flavor case (in which the

Information of the phase

gauge theories with the walking behavior near the infrared fixed point are
candidates of new physics for the origin of the dynamical electroweak symmetry
breaking. We study the SU(3) gauge theories with 12 and 16 fundamental
fermions. Utilizing the HISQ type action which is useful to study the continuum
physics, we analyze the lattice data of the mass and the decay constant of the
pseudoscalar meson and the mass of the vector meson as well at several values
of lattice spacing and fermion mass. The finite size scaling test in the
conformal hypothesis is also performed. Our data is consistent with the

in the conformal phase. We try to determine the phase of each theory
non-perturbatively with lattice simulation and to find the characteristic
behavior of the physical quantities in the phase. HISQ type staggered fermions
are used to reduce the discretization error which could compromise the behavior
of the physical quantity to determine the phase structure at non-zero lattice
spacings. Spectral quantities such as bound state masses of meson channel and

- Not Refereed, Chiral four dimensional field theory from superstring and higher dimensional super Yang-Mills theory, Hiroshi Ohki, We study four dimensional field theory from the low-energy effective theory
of Type I, II or heterotic string theories. Chiral fermions in four dimensions
are obtained by several mechanisms. Especially, the background flux is one of
the most interesting mechanisms for obtaining four dimensional chiral theories.
Chiral matter fields have localized wavefunctions on extra dimensions. We
discuss about the relations between background flux and low-energy spectra
which are counted by their zero-modes. Yukawa couplings are free parameters in
the standard model and may be related to the underlying physics. In the string
theory or its low-energy limit, they are determined by overlap integral of
wavefunctions on extra dimensions. We also study the higher order couplings
based on the field theoretical approach. From the analysis of generic n-point
couplings, we can discuss about flavor structures. We find that in such a
construction some discrete flavor symmetries appear in the four dimensional
effective theory. Their phenomenological implications are discussed.
Furthermore we extend these constructions to orbifold background. Magnetic flux
still plays an important role and leads to various types of low-energy spectra
different from that of toroidal compactifications. The orbifold models with
heterotic string are also investigated., 26 Mar. 2010 - Not Refereed, Non-Abelian Discrete Symmetries in Particle Physics, Hajime Ishimori; Tatsuo Kobayashi; Hiroshi Ohki; Hiroshi Okada; Yusuke Shimizu; Morimitsu Tanimoto, We review pedagogically non-Abelian discrete groups, which play an important

decompositions of multiplets are important for applications of the non-Abelian
discrete symmetry. We discuss these breaking patterns of the non-Abelian

It is useful for understanding the structure of the nucleon and is also a key parameter for precision experiments in particle physics and cosmology, which use nucleons as the target. However, the sigma term, in particular the strange quark contribution, has been only poorly determined by the standard analysis of the pion-nucleon scattering using the chiral perturbation theory. Therefore, the theoretical determination of the sigma term from the first principles of QCD has been awaited. Recently, owing to the development of lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry by the JLQCD collaboration, a reliable determination of the sigma term is becoming possible for the first time. In this article, we introduce our study of the sigma term from the first principle based on our lattice QCD calculation. We also mention about the possible impact of our study to the dark matter direct detection experiment and flavor physics., 05 Aug. 2009, 64, 8, 632, 636
- Not Refereed, Calculation of the nucleon sigma term and strange quark content with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions, H. Ohki; H. Fukaya; S. Hashimoto; H. Matsufuru; J. Noaki; T. Onogi; E. Shintani; N. Yamada, We present a calculation of the nucleon sigma term on two-flavor QCD
configurations with dynamical overlap fermions. We analyse the lattice data for
the nucleon mass using the baryon chiral perturbation theory. Using partially
quenched data sets, we extract the connected and disconnected contributions to
the nucleon sigma term separately. Chiral symmetry on the lattice simplifies
the determination of the disconnected contribution. We find that the strange
quark content, which determines the neutralino dark matter reaction rate with
nucleon through the Higgs boson exchange, is much smaller than the previous
lattice results., 23 Oct. 2008 - Not Refereed, A New Method of Calculating the Running Coupling Constant, Erek Bilgici; Antonino Flachi; Etsuko Itou; Masafumi Kurachi; C. -J David Lin; Hideo Matsufuru; Hiroshi Ohki; Tetsuya Onogi; Takeshi Yamazaki, We propose a new method to compute the running coupling constant of gauge
theories on the lattice. We first give the definition of the running coupling
in the new scheme using the Wilson loops in a finite volume, and explain how
the running of the coupling constant is extracted from the measurement of the
volume dependence. The perturbative calculation of the renormalization constant
to define the scheme is also given at the leading order. As a benchmark test of
the new scheme we apply the method the case of the quenched QCD. We show the
preliminary result from our numerical simulations which are carried out with
plaquette gauge action for various lattice sizes and bare lattice couplings.
With techniques to improve the statistical accuracy, we show that we can
determine the non-perturbative running of the coupling constant in a wide range
of the energy scale with relatively small number of gauge configurations in our
scheme. We compare our lattice data of the running coupling constant with
perturbative renormalization group evolution at one- and two-loop order, and
confirm the consistency between them at high energy., 21 Aug. 2008 - Not Refereed, 日本物理学会講演概要集, D4 flavor symmetry in SUSY, ISHIMORI HAJIME; KOBAYASHI TATSUO; OKI YO; OMURA YUJI; TAKAHASHI RYO; TANIMOTO MORIMITSU, 29 Feb. 2008, 63, 1, 10
- Not Refereed, High precision study of B*B pi coupling in unquenched QCD, Hiroshi Ohki; Hideo Matsufuru; Tetsuya Onogi, The B* B pi coupling is a fundamental parameter of chiral effective
Lagrangian with heavy-light mesons and can constrain the B->pi l nu form factor
in the soft pion limit which will be useful for precise determination of |Vub|.
We compute the B* B pi coupling with the static heavy quark and the
O(a)-improved Wilson light quark. Simulations are carried out with n_f=2
unquenched 12^3x24 lattices at beta=1.80 generated by CP-PACS collaboration.
Following the quenched study by Negishi et al., we employ the all-to-all
propagator with 200 low eigenmodes as well as HYP smeared link to improve the
statistical accuracy., 02 Nov. 2007 - Not Refereed, 1月 2023, 336, 1, 8, https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2311.06106

エネルギー積分の重み関数は、多項式を用いて近似することで格子上で計算可能な相関関数に結びつけられる。そのため、多項式近似の打ち切り誤差を慎重に検討する必要がある。以前に提案された統計的な最適化法（著者らの名前をとってHLT法と呼ばれている）、および新たに提案したチェビシェフ多項式にもとづく方法の両方で解析を行い、両者が無矛盾であることを確認した。一方で、チェビシェフ多項式による近似では誤差の上限を決められることを明らかにした。
有限体積効果においては、ハドロン２体状態からなる終状態が問題になる。２体状態が有限体積での境界条件を満たすためには、エネルギーについて離散的な状態のみが許されるが、これらについて積分する際に、エネルギー積分の重み関数の形状によっては大きな体積依存性が予想される。D中間子崩壊の具体的な例について可能な２体状態についての模型を構築し、それにもとづいて有限体積効果の大きさを評価した。その結果、終状態の運動量が小さい場合には有限体積効果は十分に制御可能であることが確認された。, kaken - 基盤研究(C), 01 Apr. 2021 - 31 Mar. 2026, 21K03554, 格子非摂動ダイナミクスによる宇宙起源の探求, 大木 洋, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業 基盤研究(C), 奈良女子大学, 4030000, 3100000, 930000, 本研究の主要課題は格子理論のテンソルネットワーク表示を用いた非摂動計算とその宇宙起源解明に向けた物理への応用であり, 本年度はテンソルネットワーク繰り込み群におけるノイズベクトルを用いた確率論的計算手法を取り入れた新たなテンソルネットワーク繰り込み群についての研究を行なった。現在幅広く用いられているTensor Network Renormalization (TRG)と呼ばれる手法やそれらを改良した繰り込み群の手法では, テンソルの特異値分解における低特異値モードの切断に伴う系統誤差が存在し, 臨界点近傍や高次元理論, 実時間発展等の符号問題の発生する複雑な模型への拡張において計算コストの増大が予想され, また特異値分解による近似の精度が悪化することが想定される。また, このような系統誤差の評価方法そのものについてもこれまであまり議論されていない状況であった。そこで本研究では特異値分解に加え, ノイズベクトルを用いることで全ての特異値モードを統計的に取り入れるという方法を考えた。これにより系統誤差を統計揺らぎに置き換えることが出来るため, 通常のTRGに比べ系統誤差が少なく高精度で計算出来ることを示した。繰り込み群変換に伴うノイズベクトルの多重使用による系統誤差がわずかに発生するが, それはノイズベクトルの性質によって制御されるため, 物理模型の詳細には依存しないという利点を持つことも明らかになった。本研究成果は格子理論の国際会議等で発表しており, 現在学術論文を準備している段階である。今後はこのような改良されたアルゴリズム等を駆使しながら実時間遷移振幅におけるテンソルネットワーク計算の応用に向けた研究を行い, 宇宙起源の解明に向けた相転移現象の物理を非摂動的に調べる研究へと発展させていく予定である。, kaken

平成３０年度においては、格子QCD計算によって行列要素の計算を進め、複数の運動量移行についてデータを取得した。ただし、離散化誤差が大きくなり過ぎるのを防ぐため、ボトムクォークの質量は現実のものよりも軽く取って、手法の確立を優先することとした。
これと同時に、対応する摂動的計算の手法開発を進めた。これは、既存の摂動計算がどれだけの誤差をもつかを確認するためのもので、これまでの計算の信頼性を検証することを目的とするものである。, kaken - Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), 01 Apr. 2017 - 31 Mar. 2021, 17K14309, 物質優勢宇宙の起源解明に向けた素粒子原子核の非摂動的計算, 大木 洋, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), Nara Women's University, 4160000, 3200000, 960000, 宇宙の起源の謎を解明するための重要な事象として初期宇宙の電弱相転移現象の解明が挙げられる。特にある種の素粒子標準模型を超えた新物理模型では未知の強い一次相転移が起こる可能性が示唆されており、そうした強い宇宙論的一次相転移が生じた場合、真空の相転移に伴う真空泡生成によって重力波が生成されると考えられる。そのような背景重力波を捉えようとする観測実験が現在計画中であり、標準模型を超えた未知の物理の探索とその重力波シグナルの理論的予測を行うことが重要である。本年度は、強結合ゲージ理論によって電弱相転移が動的に引き起こされる複合ヒッグス模型の一つであるウォーキングテクニカラー模型に着目し、その低エネルギー有効理論の構築、及びその宇宙論的相転移の性質を研究した。その結果、初期宇宙において強い一次相転移を引き起こし、将来の実験において観測可能な重力波シグナルを誘導する可能性があることが分かった。このような未知のゲージ理論を用いた研究は、元々進めてきた非摂動効果を含めた定量的な計算法である格子ゲージ理論における我々の先行研究の成果に基づくものであり、今後も様々な素粒子現象論への応用が期待される。また並行して強い相互作用の源である量子色力学(格子QCD)に応用する研究も同時に進めており、特に核子を用いた電磁双極子能率(EDM)はCP対称性の破れを示す重要な物理現象であり、その理論的解明が重要である。本年度は核子のEDMと密接に関連する重要な物理量である核子のテンソル電荷に着目し、そのストレンジクォークの寄与が本質的であるクォーク非連結ダイアグラムの効果も含めた数値計算を、厳密な格子上のカイラル対称性を保つオーバーラップフェルミオンを用いた格子QCDで行った。またQCDのθパラメータによる核子EDMの格子QCD計算も進めており、現実的なクォーク質量での高精度決定を行う研究を進めている。, rm:published_papers

Many-flavor QCD is a good candidate for the walking technicolor, where the flavor singlet scalar can be regarded as a technidilaton, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of the approximate scale symmetry.
In this work, we studied the flavor dependence of the low-energy behavior systematically in comparison with various number of flavor Nf=(0), 8, 12 based on a unique lattice setup. We discovered a signal of a flavor-singlet scalar meson lighter than the pseudo scalar in Nf =12 case. In Nf =8 case, we also observed a flavor-singlet scalar with mass comparable to or slightly smaller than that of the pseudo scalar in the fermion mass range of our simulations. This is a hint of the technidilaton as a composite Higgs to be identified with the Higgs boson which was discovered at LHC., kaken_url - Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows, 2009 - 2010, 09J00897, 素粒子論におけるフレーバー構造の解明とその起源について, 大木 洋, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows, 1400000, 1400000, 本研究の目的は、素粒子論におけるフレーバーの複雑な構造の起源を調べ、高エネルギー領域からの具体的な導出を目標とするものであった。初年度目では、クォーク・レプトンに存在する大きな世代間質量階層性の問題に対し、余剰次元内での各世代の場の局在から指数的に減少する湯川結合が得られるというモデルの研究を行った。特に現象論的に有望な背景磁場を持つ余剰次元モデルから、様々な離散的対称性が得られる事を見出した。これは高エネルギー理論と素粒子標準模型との関連性において、重要な示唆を与えるものであり、重要な研究成果であると言える。また本年度は、フレーバー構造と密接に関連する質量の起源に関する研究を行った。フレーバー構造を議論する上でヒッグス粒子の真空期待値は重要なパラメータであり、ヒッグス粒子の真空期待値、すなわち電弱対称性の破れを引き起こす機構として、強いゲージ相互作用を伴った動的な破れが、近年注目されている。そうした動的な破れは場の理論の非摂動的効果が重要であるため、格子ゲージ理論による数値計算が必要となる。そこで、本年度は格子理論におけるゲージ結合定数の有効な測定法を研究し、また具体的なQCDのモデルの数値計算に適用し、その手法の有効性を明らかにした。これにより、従来よりも精密な決定が可能となり、上記のモデルの計算に応用する事が可能である。現在はこれらの研究成果を踏まえ、幾つかの具体的なモデルにおけるゲージ結合定数の計算、フェルミオン双一次形式の異常次元、擬スカラー場の質量の測定等を行っており、現実的なフレーバー構造を持ちうるモデルの探索とその検証へと進展させていく予定である。, kaken
