Properties of the renormalized quark mass in the Schrodinger functional with a non-vanishing background field

Abstract

We compute the current quark mass in the Schrodinger functional with a non-vanishing background field at one loop order of perturbation theory. The results are used to obtain the critical mass at which the renormalized quark mass vanishes, and some lattice artefacts at one loop order.
