摘要:We construct the vector and axial vector currents inWilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT),
the low-energy effective theory for lattice QCD with Wilson fermions.
Our construction is slightly different compared to ChPT in continuum QCD, where the currents
are essentially the (partially) conserved currents associated with the chiral symmetries. In
WChPT, due to explicit chiral symmetry breaking at non-zero lattice spacing, there appear O(a)
terms in the expressions for the currents which do not stem from the effective action. In addition,
the finite renormalization of the currents needs to be taken into account in order to properly match
the currents of the effective theory.
As an illustration we compute fp to one loop with the renormalized axial vector current for a
particular renormalization condition. It turns out that for this particular condition some of the
O(a) corrections are taken care of by the renormalization.
