In these lecture notes we will discuss recent progress in extracting spectral and transport properties from lattice QCD. We will focus on results of probes of the thermal QCD medium as well as transport coefficients which are important…
The master-field approach to lattice QCD envisions performing calculations on a small number of large-volume gauge-field configurations. Substantial progress has been made recently in the generation of such fields, and this must be joined…
We present a preliminary study of the leading hadronic contribution to the running of the Weinberg angle $\theta_{\mathrm{W}}$. The running is extracted from the correlation function of the electromagnetic current with the vector part of…
We discuss the recently proposed multiboson domain-decomposed factorization of the gauge-field dependence of the fermion determinant in lattice QCD. In particular, we focus on the case of a lattice divided in an arbitrary number of thick…
We investigate the Gross-Neveu model in $2+1$ dimensions in a constant and homogeneous magnetic field using one reducible flavor of overlap fermions. Our lattice simulations suggest that the magnetic catalysis phenomenon, i.e., an increase…
Knowledge of the screening masses at finite chemical potential can provide insight into the nature of the QCD phase diagram. However, lattice studies at finite chemical potential suffer from the well-known issue of the sign problem, which…
Our research reveals the relations among monopoles, color confinement, instantons, and chiral symmetry breaking which experiments can detect, by numerical calculations of lattice gauge theory. We first add a monopole and an anti-monopole…
We study the $\lambda\phi^4$ model in $0+2$ dimensions at criticality, and effectuate a simultaneous scaling of UV and IR physics. We demonstrate that the order parameter $\phi$, the correlation length $\xi$ and quantities like $\phi^3$ and…
We present the preliminary results of the non-perturbative running of the flavour non-singlet tensor operator in the high-energy range $2~\rm{GeV}\lesssim \mu\lesssim 128~\rm{GeV}$ in $N_f=3$ massless QCD, comparing four different…
We study phase structure and critical point of finite-temperature QCD in the heavy-quark region applying the hopping parameter expansion (HPE). We first study finite-size scaling on the critical point on $N_t=4$ lattices with large spatial…
Chimera baryons are an important element of strongly coupled theories that provide a microscopic origin for UV complete composite Higgs models (CHMs), since they play the role of top partners in top partial compositeness. In a particular…
Consider a one-parameter family of Boltzmann distributions $p_t(x) = \tfrac{1}{Z_t}e^{-S_t(x)}$. This work studies the problem of sampling from $p_{t_0}$ by first sampling from $p_{t_1}$ and then applying a transformation $\Psi_{t_1}^{t_0}$…
Recent applications of machine-learned normalizing flows to sampling in lattice field theory suggest that such methods may be able to mitigate critical slowing down and topological freezing. However, these demonstrations have been at the…
The non-local dependence of the fermion determinant on the gauge field limits our ability of simulating Quantum Chromodynamics on the lattice. Here we present a factorization of the gauge field dependence of the fermion determinant based on…
We analyze in detail a sharp transition between the low-energy, low-dimensional eigenstates and the high-energy chaotic bulk of the spectrum for a simple supersymmetric quantum-mechanical model with Hamiltonian $\hat{H}_S =…
We apply the physically more appealing MIT Bag boundary conditions to study the Casimir effect on the lattice. Employing the formalism of arXiv:2005.10758 to calculate the Casimir energy for free lattice fermions, we show that the results…
Smearing the bare quantum fields in lattice calculations before applying composite hadron creation operators has a long record of substantially improving overlaps onto low-lying energy eigenstates. A technique called distillation which…
Vector boson scattering (VBS) plays a central role in the search for new physics at collider experiments such as ATLAS and CMS at the LHC. Usually predictions for this kind of process are obtained using mainly perturbative approaches in…
The requirement of manifest gauge invariance leads to a conflict between perturbative and non-perturbative predictions for the low-energy spectra of grand-unified theories. These conflicts already emerge in simplified prototype models of…
Smearing of gauge-field configurations in lattice field theory improves the results of lattice simulations by suppressing high energy modes from correlation functions. In quantum simulations, high kinetic energy eigenstates are introduced…
