Results computed in lattice QCD+QED are presented for the electromagnetic mass splittings of the low-lying hadrons. These are used to determine the renormalized, nondegenerate, light quark masses. It is found that m{sub u}{sup MS}=2.24(10)(34), m{sub d}{sup MS}=4.65(15)(32), and m{sub s}{sup MS}=97.6(2.9)(5.5) MeV at the renormalization scale 2 GeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. We find the lowest-order electromagnetic splitting (m{sub {pi}{sup +}}-m{sub {pi}{sup 0}}){sub QED}=3.38(23) MeV, the splittings including next-to-leading order, (m{sub {pi}{sup +}}-m{sub {pi}{sup 0}}){sub QED}=4.50(23) MeV, (m{sub K{sup +}}-m{sub K{sup 0}}){sub QED}=1.87(10) MeV, and the m{sub u}{ne}m{sub d} contribution to the kaon mass difference, (m{sub K{sup +}}-m{sub K{sup 0}}){sub (m{sub u}-m{sub d})}=-5.840(96) MeV. All errors are statistical only, and the next-to-leading-order pion splitting is only approximate in that it does not contain all next-to-leading-order contributions. We also computed the proton-neutron mass difference, including for the first time, QED interactions in a realistic 2+1 flavor calculation. We find (m{sub p}-m{sub n}){sub QED}=0.383(68) MeV, (m{sub p}-m{sub n}){sub (m{sub u}-m{sub d})}=-2.51(14) MeV (statistical errors only), and the total m{sub p}-m{sub n}=-2.13(16)(70) MeV, where the first error is statistical, and the second, part of the systematic error. The calculations are carried out on QCD ensembles generated bymore » the RBC and UKQCD collaborations, using domain wall fermions and the Iwasaki gauge action (gauge coupling {beta}=2.13 and lattice cutoff a{sup -1}{approx_equal}1.78 GeV). We use two lattice sizes, 16{sup 3} and 24{sup 3} ((1.8 fm){sup 3} and (2.7 fm){sup 3}), to address finite-volume effects. Noncompact QED is treated in the quenched approximation. The valence pseudoscalar meson masses in our study cover a range of about 250 to 700 MeV, though we use only those up to about 400 MeV to quote final results. We present new results for the electromagnetic low-energy constants in SU(3) and SU(2) partially quenched chiral perturbation theory to the next-to-leading order, obtained from fits to our data. Detailed analysis of systematic errors in our results and methods for improving them are discussed. Finally, new analytic results for SU(2){sub L}xSU(2){sub R}-plus-kaon chiral perturbation theory, including the one-loop logs proportional to {alpha}{sub em}m, are given.« less
