Abstract: | If a quantum field is enclosed in a spatial box of finite volume, its mass spectrum depends on the box size L. For field theories in the continuum Lüscher has shown to all orders in perturbation theory that for large L this dependence is related to certain scattering amplitudes of the infinite volume theory. We derived the corresponding relations for lattice field theories. Assuming their validity for lattice gauge theory outside the perturbative region the magnitude of finite size effects on the spectrum is determined by a glueball coupling constant. This quantity is estimated by strong coupling methods. |
