Perturbative Renormalization Factors of Bilinear Quark Operators for Improved Gluon and Quark Actions in Lattice QCD

Abstract

We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of bilinear quark operators for gluon action including six-link loops and $O(a)$-improved quark action in the limit of massless quark. We find that finite parts of one-loop coefficients of renormalization factors diminish monotonically as either of the coefficients $c_1$ or $c_2+c_3$ of the six-link terms are decreased below zero. Detailed numerical results are given, for general values of the clover coefficient, for the tree-level improved gluon action in the Symanzik approach $(c_1=-1/12,c_2=c_3=0)$ and for the choices suggested by Wilson $(c_1=-0.252,c_2=0,c_3=-0.17)$ and by Iwasaki $(c_1=-0.331,c_2=c_3=0$ and $c_1=-0.27,c_2+c_3=-0.04)$ from renormalization-group analyses. Compared with the case of the standard plaquette gluon action, finite parts of one-loop coefficients are reduced by 10--20% for the Symanzik action, and approximately by a factor two for the renormalization-group improved gluon actions.
