Lattice QCD in rotating frames

Understand

We formulate lattice QCD in rotating frames to study the physics of QCD matter under rotation.

• We construct the lattice QCD action with the rotational metric and apply it to the Monte Carlo simulation.
• As the first application, we calculate the angular momenta of gluons and quarks in the rotating QCD vacuum.
• This new framework is useful to analyze various rotation-related phenomena in QCD.
