Three photon decay rate of $J/\psi$ is studied using two $N_f=2$ twisted mass gauge ensembles with lattice spacings $a\simeq 0.085$ fm (I) and $0.067$ fm(II). Using a new method, only the correlation functions directly related to the…
We calculate the scattering cross section between two $0^{++}$ glueballs in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory on lattice at $\beta = 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4$, and 2.5 using the indirect (HAL QCD) method. We employ the cluster-decomposition error…
We show how to formulate a lattice gauge theory whose naive continuum limit corresponds to two-dimensional (Euclidean) quantum gravity including a positive cosmological constant. More precisely the resultant continuum theory corresponds to…
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the charm quark contribution to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors $G^c_{E,M}(Q^2)$ in the momentum transfer range $0\leq Q^2 \leq 1.4$ $\rm GeV^2$. The quark mass dependence, finite…
We extract the pion valence quark distribution $q^\pi_{\rm v}(x)$ from lattice QCD (LQCD) calculated matrix elements of spacelike correlations of one vector and one axial vector current analyzed in terms of QCD collinear factorization,…
In a Quantum Field Theory, the analytic structure of the 2-points correlation functions, ie the propagators, encloses information about the properties of the corresponding quanta, particularly if they are or not confined. However, in…
The type IIB matrix model, also known as the IKKT matrix model, is a promising candidate for a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In this talk we study the Euclidean version of the IKKT matrix model, which has a "sign…
We calculate the energies of quarkonium bound states in the presence of a medium of nonzero isospin density using lattice QCD. The medium, created using a canonical (fixed isospin charge) approach, induces a reduction of the quarkonium…
Static quark-antiquark states in QCD, at finite quark separation, have a spectrum of metastable states corresponding to string-like excitations of the gauge field. In this article I suggest that there may also exist an excitation spectrum…
We apply the Linear Logarithmic Relaxation (LLR) method, which generalizes the Wang-Landau algorithm to quantum systems with continuous degrees of freedom, to the fermionic Hubbard model with repulsive interactions on the honeycomb lattice.…
In this paper, employing an all-to-all quark propagator technique, we investigate the kaon-nucleon interactions in lattice QCD. We calculate the S-wave kaon-nucleon potentials at the leading order in the derivative expansion in the…
The ratios among the leading-order (LO) hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) contributions to the anomalous magnetic moments of electron, muon and tau-lepton, $a_{\ell=e,\mu \tau}^{HVP,LO}$, are computed using lattice QCD+QED simulations. The…
The Yang-Mills theory is part of the Standard Model of particle physics. The lack of the mathematical understanding of the theory stands out in theoretical physics. In order to address this problem we observe that a recently proposed…
The centre vortex structure of the $SU(3)$ gauge field vacuum is explored through the use of novel visualisation techniques. The lattice is partitioned into 3D time slices, and vortices are identified by locating plaquettes with nontrivial…
The electromagnetic coupling $\alpha$ and the electroweak mixing angle $\theta_{\mathrm{W}}$ are parameters of the Standard Model (SM) that enter precision SM tests and play a fundamental r\^ole in beyond SM physics searches. Their values…
The fundamental particle theory called Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) dictates everything about protons and neutrons, from their intrinsic properties to interactions that bind them into atomic nuclei. Quantities that cannot be fully resolved…
We propose a definition of the Casimir energy for free lattice fermions. From this definition, we study the Casimir effects for the massless or massive naive fermion, Wilson fermion, and (M\"obius) domain-wall fermion in $1+1$ dimensional…
We present a lattice QCD based determination of the chiral phase transition temperature in QCD with two massless (up and down) and one strange quark having its physical mass. We propose and calculate two novel estimators for the chiral…
We report the results of a lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation of $F_K/F_\pi$ using M\"{o}bius domain-wall fermions computed on gradient-flowed $N_f=2+1+1$ highly-improved staggered quark (HISQ) ensembles. The calculation is…
We address the interplay between global and local gauge nonabelian symmetries in lattice gauge theories with multicomponent scalar fields. We consider two-dimensional lattice scalar nonabelian gauge theories with a local SO(Nc) (Nc >= 3)…
