By casting the Hamiltonian of pure SU(3) in 3+1 space–time dimensions into approximate tri-diagonal form we study the glueball spectrum of the system. In particular we obtain estimates for the ground state energy density, the string tension σ, and the masses of the lowest lying 0++ , 1 + - and 2 ++ glueballs. These initial calculations lead to estimates of various mass ratios in general agreement with other studies of the spectrum.

Abstract We calculate the low-lying glueball spectrum of the SU(3) lattice gauge theory in 3 + 1 dimensions for the range β ≤ 6.50 using the standard plaquette action. We do so for states in all the representations R of the cubic rotation group, and for both values of parity P and charge conjugation C . We extrapolate these results to the continuum limit of the theory using the confining string tension σ as our energy scale. We also present our results in units of the r0 scale and, from that, in terms of physical ‘GeV’ units. For a number of these states we are able to identify their continuum spins J with very little ambiguity. We also calculate the topological charge Q of the lattice gauge fields so as to show that we have sufficient ergodicity throughout our range of β, and we calculate the multiplicative renormalisation of Q as a function of β. We also obtain the continuum limit of the SU(3) topological susceptibility.
