I review the theoretical foundations, properties as well as the simulation results obtained so
far of a variant of the Wilson lattice QCD formulation: Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD …

A modified formulation of the Schrödinger functional (SF) is proposed. In the continuum it is
related to the standard SF by a non-singlet chiral field rotation and therefore referred to as …

A first study of numerical Monte Carlo simulations with two quark doublets, a mass-
degenerate one and a mass-split one, interpreted as u, d, s and c quarks, is carried out in …

In these lectures I explain how chiral symmetry of continuum QCD naturally leads to a class
of lattice regularisations known as twisted mass QCD (tmQCD). As compared to standard …

Most of our present knowledge on the structure of renormalization of quantum field theories
comes from perturbation theory (PT), a small coupling expansion around a free field theory …

Non-singlet chiral Ward identities for fermionic operators at positive flow-time are derived
using standard techniques based on local chiral variations of the action and of local …

Wilson chiral perturbation theory (WChPT) is the effective field theory describing the long-
distance properties of lattice QCD with Wilson or twisted-mass fermions. We consider here …

We discuss the physics and computation of lattice QCD, a space-time lattice formulation of
quantum chromodynamics, and Kenneth Wilson's seminal role in its development. We start …

The pion masses and the pion decay constant are calculated to 1-loop order in SU (2)
twisted mass Wilson chiral perturbation theory, assuming a large pion mass splitting and …

These lectures describe the use of effective field theories to extrapolate results from the
parameter region where numerical simulations of lattice QCD are possible to the physical …
