Quantum chromodynamics has a rather complicated phase structure. The finite temperature, chiral phase structure depends on the number of flavours and to a large extent on the particular values of the fermion masses. For two massless…
We consider the Schr\"odinger functional with staggered one-component fermions on a fine lattice of size $(L/a)^3 \times (T/a)$ where $T/a$ must be an odd number. In order to reconstruct the four-component spinors, two different set-ups are…
The two-flavor Gross-Neveu model with U(2)$_L\times$U(2)$_R$ chiral symmetry in 1+1 dimensions is used to construct a novel variant of four-fermion theories with O(2)$_L\times$O(2)$_R$ chiral symmetry. The spontaneous breaking of the group…
