“…In the continuum, they are all equivalent, but on the lattice they can have very different discretization effects. The gluonic definition, utilizing various smearing techniques to damp UV fluctuations, such as the gradient flow (GF) [9][10][11] that we use in this paper, is computationally relatively cheap to calculate and is currently widely used, for example, in the aforementioned nEDM calculation [8]. In this paper we focus on a fermionic definition using the method of spectral projectors [2,12], but we also compare the results to ones from a GF-smeared gluonic definition.…”
