Description
In this talk, we evaluate the QCD theta angle radiatively induced at the two-loop level using the dimensional regularization with the BMHV scheme in a simplified model. When the Lagrangian is promoted into d-dimensional space through the dimensional regularization, evanescent operators are introduced, which break the chiral symmetry. Consequently, a parity-odd fermion loop with the BMHV scheme generates an evanescent contribution that deviates from the original chiral symmetry. We carefully classify the evanescent contribution into two types: one originating from the evanescent operator and the other directly produced by the two-loop calculation. These unphysical contributions can be removed from the renormalization equation for the QCD theta angle by re-parameterizing the angle.
