We compute the O(1/M,m_s) heavy quark and SU(3) corrections to B_s -> D_s e nu form factors. In the limit of vanishing light quark mass, B_s -> D_s e nu form factors are given in terms of the the B -> D e nu form factors, the leading order…

We compute the static-light meson spectrum using two-flavor Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. We have considered five different values for the light quark mass corresponding to 300 MeV < m_PS < 600 MeV. We have extrapolated our results, to…

We present a first scaling test of twisted mass QCD with pure Wilson quarks for a twisting angle of pi/2. We have computed the vector meson mass and the pseudoscalar decay constant for different values of beta at fixed value of r_0 m_PS.…
Suppressing monopoles and vortices by introducing large chemical potentials for them in the Wilson action for the SU(2) lattice gauge theory, we study the nature of the deconfinement phase transition on N_\sigma^3 \times N_\tau lattices for…
The standard U(N) and SU(N) integrals are calculated in the large N limit. Our main finding is that for an important class of integrals this limit is different for two groups. We describe the critical behaviour of SU(N) models and discuss…
In the framework of a non-compact lattice regularization of nonabelian gauge theories we look, in the SU(2) case, for the scaling window through the analysis of the ratio of two masses of hadronic states. In the two-dimensional parameter…

The low energy mass spectrum of QCD in the large $N_C$ limit is computed. The low-lying states in the meson spectrum are explicitly evaluated up to the fourth order in the strong coupling perturbative expansion. The 't Hooft limit is smooth…
The eigenvalues of Wilson loop matrices in SU(N) gauge theories in dimensions 2,3,4 at infinite N are supported on a small arc on the unit circle centered at $z=1$ for small loops, but expand to the entire unit circle for large loops. These…
We perform a systematic scaling study of screening masses in pure gauge SU(2) theory at temperatures above the phase transition temperature. The major finite volume effect is seen to be spatial deconfinement. We extract the screening masses…
I review and improve on how two-index SU(N) gauge-fermion theories help access salient information about the large $N$ vacuum and spectrum of QCD, super Yang Mills and meson-meson scattering. The interplay with recent lattice simulations…
Implicit score matching provides a computationally efficient approach for training diffusion models and generating high-quality samples from complex distributions. In this work, we develop a score-matching framework for SU(N) lattice gauge…
We give details of our precise determination of the light quark masses m_{ud}=(m_u+m_d)/2 and m_s in 2+1 flavor QCD, with simulated pion masses down to 120 MeV, at five lattice spacings, and in large volumes. The details concern the action…
In this work we consider the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, in the limit of large $N$. In this limit the infinite-volume physics of this model can be studied by means of the corresponding twisted…
The large $N$ limit of SU($N$) gauge theories is well understood in perturbation theory. Also non-perturbative lattice studies have yielded important positive evidence that 't Hooft's predictions are valid. We go far beyond the statistical…
We study SU(2) gauge field theory with $N_f=24$ quarks. The theory is asymptotically non-free and, at vanishing quark mass, governed by a Gaussian fixed point at long distances. On the other hand, at non-zero quark mass the quarks are…
