Perturbative Renormalization of Noether Currents in SYM with Improved Discretizations
Abstract
We investigate the perturbative renormalization of Noether currents associated with chiral symmetry and supersymmetry transformations in 𝒩=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, regularized on the lattice using improved discretizations. In particular, we study the chiral current and the supercurrent operator for a broad class of lattice actions: Wilson fermions with one-step stout-smeared links and a clover term, together with a family of Symanzik-improved gluon actions. Since the supercurrent mixes with both gauge-invariant and gauge-noninvariant operators, we compute the corresponding renormalization factors and mixing coefficients at one-loop order. We analyze the impact of improved gluon and gluino actions on this mixing pattern and investigate whether suitable choices of lattice parameters, such as the clover and stout coefficients, can reduce unwanted lattice artifacts at one loop. Our results provide perturbative input for the implementation of Ward identities and for matching lattice observables to their continuum counterparts, while also offering guidance for simulations aimed at restoring supersymmetry in the continuum limit.
