Pion physics on the lattice
arXiv:0910.3806
Abstract
Recent results on pion physics from lattice QCD are reviewed. We discuss quark mass dependences of pion mass and decay constant and compare them with the predictions from chiral perturbation theory. In particular we focus on the convergence of chiral perturbation theory around strange quark mass region. We also consider quark mass as well as momentum dependences of pion form factors in recent full QCD simulations.
