Pion mass difference from vacuum polarization

JLQCD Collaboration, Shintani, E., Fukaya, H. et al.

Understand

We calculate the electromagnetic contribution to the pion mass difference, $\Delta m^2_\pi=m^2_{\pi^+}-m^2_{\pi^0}$, in the chiral limit through the $VV-AA$ type vacuum polarization using Das-Guralnik-Mathur-Low-Young (DGMLY) sum rule.

  • The calculation is made with two-flavors of dynamical overlap fermions on a $16^3\times 32$ lattice at $a\sim$0.12 fm.
  • The exact chiral symmetry of the overlap fermion is essential to control the systematic error in the difference $VV-AA$.
  • We obtain $\Delta m_\pi^2 = 1024(100) {\rm MeV^2}$ combining the lattice data with the perturbative contribution in the high momentum region evaluated by the operator product expansion.
