Analysis of the Schroedinger Functional with Chirally Rotated Boundary Conditions

Understand

The Schroedinger functional provides a valuable tool to perform non-perturbative renormalization on the lattice, in particular in a mass independent scheme.

• We study two different types of chirally rotated Schroedinger functional boundary conditions which have been recently proposed to retain the bulk automatic O(a) improvement of massless Wilson fermions in finite volume.
• We investigate the spectral properties and the quark propagators which derive from these two proposals in the continuum at tree-level of perturbation theory.
