FLIC overlap fermions
Abstract The action of the overlap-Dirac operator on a vector is typically implemented indirectly through a multi-shift conjugate gradient solver. The compute-time required depends upon the condition number, κ, of the matrix that is used as the overlap kernel. While the Wilson action is typically used as the overlap kernel, the FLIC (Fat Link Irrelevant Clover) action has an improved condition number and provides up to a factor of two speedup in evaluating the overlap action. We summarize recent progress on the use of FLIC overlap fermions.

Chiral symmetry, quark mass, and scaling of the overlap fermions
The chiral symmetry relation and scaling of the overlap fermions are studied numerically on the quenched lattices at 3 couplings with about the same physical volume. We find that the generalized Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation is satisfied to better than 1% down to the smallest quark mass at m(0)a = 0.006. We also obtain the quark mass from the PCAC relation and the pseudoscalar masses. The renormalization group invariant quark mass is shown to be fairly independent of scale. The pi and rho masses at a fixed m(pi)/m(rho) ratio indicate small O(a(2)) corrections. It is found that the critical slowing down sets in abruptly at a very small quark mass close to those of the physical u and d quarks.

Scaling behavior of the overlap quark propagator in the Landau gauge
The properties of the momentum space quark propagator in Landau gauge are examined for the overlap quark action in quenched lattice QCD. Numerical calculations are done on three lattices with different lattice spacings and similar physical volumes to explore the approach of the quark propagator toward the continuum limit. We have calculated the nonperturbative momentum-dependent wave-function renormalization function $Z({\ensuremath{\zeta}}^{2};p)$ and the nonperturbative mass function $M(p)$ for a variety of bare quark masses and perform an extrapolation to the chiral limit. We find the behavior of $Z({\ensuremath{\zeta}}^{2};p)$ and $M(p)$ are in reasonable agreement between the two finer lattices in the chiral limit, however the data suggest that an even finer lattice is desirable. The large momentum behavior is examined to determine the quark condensate.

Nonperturbative renormalization of composite operators with overlap fermions
We compute nonperturbatively the renormalization constants of composite operators on a quenched 16{sup 3}x28 lattice with lattice spacing a=0.20 fm for the overlap fermion by using the regularization-independent (RI) scheme. The quenched gauge configurations were generated with the Iwasaki action. We test the relations Z{sub A}=Z{sub V} and Z{sub S}=Z{sub P} and find that they agree well (less than 1%) above {mu}=1.6 GeV. We also perform a Renormalization Group (RG) analysis at the next-to-next-to-leading order and match the renormalization constants to the MS scheme. The wave function renormalization Z{sub {psi}} is determined from the vertex function of the axial current and Z{sub A} from the chiral Ward identity. Finally, we examine the finite quark mass behavior for the renormalization factors of the quark bilinear operators. We find that the (pa){sup 2} errors of the vertex functions are small and the quark mass dependence of the renormalization factors to be quite weak.

Study of pentaquarks on the lattice with overlap fermions
We present a quenched lattice QCD calculation of spin-$1/2$ five-quark states with $uudd\overline{s}$ quark content for both positive and negative parities. We do not observe any bound pentaquark state in these channels for either $I=0$ or $I=1$. The states we found are consistent with $KN$ scattering states which are checked to exhibit the expected volume dependence of the spectral weight. The results are based on overlap-fermion propagators on two lattices, ${12}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}28$ and ${16}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}28$, with the same lattice spacing of 0.2 fm, and pion mass as low as $\ensuremath{\sim}180\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{M}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$.

The $P$-wave $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ tetraquark state: $Y(4260)$ or $Y(4660)$?
The mass of $P$-wave $cs$-scalar-diquark $\bar{c}\bar{s}$-scalar-antidiquark state is computed in the framework of QCD sum rules. The result $4.69\pm0.36{GeV}$ is in good agreement with the experimental value of Y(4660) but higher than Y(4260)'s, which supports the $P$-wave $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ configuration for Y(4660) while disfavors the interpretation of Y(4260) as the $P$-wave $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ state. In the same picture, the mass of $P$-wave $[bs][\bar{b}\bar{s}]$ is predicted to be $11.19\pm0.49 {GeV}$.

Boundary Conditions for NHEK through Effective Action Approach
We study the asymptotic symmetry group(ASG) of the near horizon geometry of extreme Kerr black hole through the effective action approach developed in [7]. By requiring a finite boundary effective action, we derive a new set of asymptotic Killing vectors and boundary conditions, which are much more relaxed than the ones proposed in [3], and still allow a copy of conformal group as its ASG. In the covariant formalism, the asymptotic charges are finite, with the corresponding central charge vanishing. By using the quasi-local charge and introducing a plausible cut-off, we find that the higher order terms of the asymptotic Killing vectors, which could not be determined through the effective action approach, contribute to the central charge as well. We also show that the boundary conditions suggested in [1] lead to a divergent first order boundary effective action. ∗ bchen01@pku.edu.cn † ningbo@pku.edu.cn ‡ jjzhang@pku.edu.cn

Amplification of curvature perturbations in cyclic cosmology
We analytically and numerically show that through the cycles with nonsingular bounce, the amplitude of curvature perturbation on a large scale will be amplified and the power spectrum will redden. In some sense, this amplification will eventually destroy the homogeneity of the background, which will lead to the ultimate end of cycles of the global universe. We argue that for the model with increasing cycles, it might be possible that a fissiparous multiverse will emerge after one or several cycles, in which the cycles will continue only at corresponding local regions.

On the Yang–Mills two-loop effective action with worldline methods
Abstract We derive the two-loop effective action for covariantly constant field strength of pure Yang–Mills theory in the presence of an infrared scale. The computation is done in the framework of the worldline formalism, based on a generalization procedure of constructing multiloop effective actions in terms of the bosonic worldline path integral. The two-loop β -function is correctly reproduced. This is the first derivation in the worldline formulation, and serves as a non-trivial check on the consistency of the multiloop generalization procedure in the worldline formalism.

Improved QCD sum rule study of $Z_{c}(3900)$ as a $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular state
In the framework of QCD sum rules, we present an improved study of our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 80, 056004 (2009)], particularly on the $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$ molecular state, to investigate the possibility that the newly observed ${Z}_{c}(3900)$ is a $S$-wave $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$ molecular state. To ensure the quality of QCD sum rule analysis, contributions of up to dimension nine are calculated to test the convergence of operator product expansion (OPE). We find that the two-quark condensate $⟨\overline{q}q⟩$ is very large and makes the standard OPE convergence (i.e. the perturbative at least larger than each condensate contribution) happen at very large values of Borel parameters. By releasing the rigid OPE convergence criterion, one could find that the OPE convergence is still under control. We arrive at the numerical result $3.86\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.27\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ for $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$, which agrees with the mass of ${Z}_{c}(3900)$ and could support the explanation of ${Z}_{c}(3900)$ in terms of a $S$-wave $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$ molecular state.
