Analysis of the Schroedinger Functional with Chirally Rotated Boundary Conditions

Abstract

The Schroedinger functional provides a valuable tool to perform non-perturbative renormalization on the lattice, in particular in a mass independent scheme. We study two different types of chirally rotated Schroedinger functional boundary conditions which have been recently proposed to retain the bulk automatic O(a) improvement of massless Wilson fermions in finite volume. We investigate the spectral properties and the quark propagators which derive from these two proposals in the continuum at tree-level of perturbation theory.
