Renormalization of Flavor Singlet and Nonsinglet Fermion Bilinear Operators

Abstract

We compute the difference in the renormalization of flavor singlet and nonsinglet fermion bilinear operators, to two loops in perturbation theory. Our results are applicable to a rather wide class of lattice actions with Symanzik improved gluons, stout links and clover fermions, including the Twisted Mass and SLiNC actions. A more detailed presentation of our results, along with relevant references, will appear in a forthcoming publication.
