Event details
In this talk I will discuss a gauge invariant strategy for defining charged hadrons in lattice simulations of QCD+QED. In fact, constructing a gauge invariant interpolating operator for a charged state is simple in infinite volume, but when moving to finite volume we first have to circumvent an intrinsic issue with QED known as the zero-mode problem. After this issue is understood, I will present a particular solution that allows for a completely gauge invariant description of QED in finite volume. In the proposed setup, gauge fixing is possible at any stage, but I will argue that one always has to be careful when choosing to calculate observables in fixed gauge. Finally, I will say a few words about the numerical implementation of the proposed setup and then I present some results to prove the numerical viability.
