We study the $N=2$ supersymmetric $E_6$ models on the 6-dimensional space-time where the supersymmetry and gauge symmetry can be broken by the discrete symmetry. On the space-time $M^4\times S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2') \times S^1/(Z_2\times…

We proposed an `Ichimatsu'-decomposed lattice gauge theory with fermionic symmetries. The vacuum structures of the gauge sector with two coupling constants ($\beta_p,\beta_c$) are investigated for 3-dimensional Z$_2$ and 4-dimensional SU(2)…
We explore a weakly coupled $SU(N_{c})$ gauge theory, examining its fixed-point structure and the transition from infrared conformality to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Following a previous study, we couple the gauge field to $N_s$ scalars…
We consider chiral $U(N)\times U(N)$ models with fermions in the limit of infinitely large local bare Yukawa coupling. When the scalar field is subject to non-linear constraint, phase transitions in these models are seen to be identical to…
In mixed quantum states, the notion of symmetry is divided into two types: strong and weak symmetry. While spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) for a weak symmetry is detected by two-point correlation functions, SSB for a strong symmetry is…
Quantum systems in 3+1-dimensions that are invariant under gauging a one-form symmetry enjoy novel non-invertible duality symmetries encoded by topological defects. These symmetries are renormalization group invariants which constrain…
The $N=2$ supersymmetric continuum limit is investigated in the SU(2) adjoint Higgs-Yukawa model using lattice perturbation theory. In the one-loop renormalization group equations a non-trivial infrared fixed point of coupling ratios is…
We study two-dimensional QED with unequal charges at finite temperature, and show that there is a phase with a spontaneously broken $Z_n$ symmetry. In spite of this, we were not able to establish the presence of domain walls. The relevance…

The 4-d SU(2) lattice gauge theory is simulated in the minimal Coulomb gauge which aims to maximize the traces of all links in three directions. Fourth-direction links are interpreted as spins in a Heisenberg-like model with varying…
The 2d gauge theory on the lattice is equivalent to the twisted Eguchi-Kawai model, which we simulated at N ranging from 25 to 515. We observe a clear large N scaling for the 1- and 2-point function of Wilson loops, as well as the 2-point…
We consider the Emery model of a Cu-O plane of the high temperature superconductors. We show that in a strong-coupling limit, with strong Coulomb repulsions between electrons on nearest-neighbor O sites, the electron-dynamics is strictly…
