In the framework of the so called link approach we study exact lattice supersymmetry for the simplest supersymmetric model: N=1 supersymmetry in D=1. The model is described by a lattice with spacing a/2, thus containing twice as many sites…
The improved Wilson quark action - the clover action - is constructed to have smaller discretization errors than the normal Wilson quark action. We test this in a quenched spectroscopy computation on 6 lattice ensembles with spacings from…
We describe a way to optimize the chiral behavior of Wilson-type lattice fermion actions by studying the low energy real eigenmodes of the Dirac operator. We find a candidate action, the clover action with fat links with a tuned clover…
Domain-wall Fermions represent a recent lattice approach to chiral symmetry that is receiving considerable attention. The method is presented in a somewhat unconventional manner, in terms of a ladder molecule subjected to a magnetic field.…
We present a first Wilson twisted mass fermion calculation of the matrix element between pion states of the twist-2 operator, which is related to the the lowest moment < x > of the valence quark parton distribution function in a pion. Using…
We study a spatial cyclic predator-prey model with an even number of species (for n=4, 6, and 8) that allows the formation of two defective alliances consisting of the even and odd label species. The species are distributed on the sites of…
Lattice fermions in a fluctuating gauge field can show localization, much like electrons in a disordered potential. We study the spectrum of localized and extended states of supercritical Wilson fermions in gauge ensembles generated with…
It has recently been shown that when $N_f$ generations of chiral fermions are coupled in a specific manner to $N$ (with $N \geq 2N_f-1$) pairs of vectorlike fermions whose mass terms form a one-dimensional lattice-like structure in theory…
I describe a method that places the fermion fields and the gauge fields on different lattice spacings during the Hybrid Monte Carlo generation of Ginsparg-Wilson dynamical ensembles. The idea is motivated by Wilson's formulation of the…
We apply a variational Ansatz based on neural networks to the problem of spin-$1/2$ fermions in a harmonic trap interacting through a short distance potential. We showed that standard machine learning techniques lead to a quick convergence…
We introduce the chemical potential in a system of two-dimensional massless fermions, confined to a finite region, by imposing twisted boundary conditions in the Euclidean time direction. We explore in this simple model the application of…
We discuss how the peculiar properties of maximally twisted Wilson fermions can be exploited to set up a consistent LQCD computational scheme in which the CP-conserving matrix elements of the $\Delta S =1,2$ effective weak Hamiltonian can…
Lattice QCD with Wilson fermions generically shows the phenomenon of a first order phase transition. We study the phase structure of lattice QCD using Wilson twisted mass fermions and the Wilson plaquette gauge action are used in a range of…
We systematically examine various proposals which aim at increasing the accuracy in the determination of the renormalization of two-fermion lattice operators. We concentrate on three finite quantities which are particularly suitable for our…
We study the lattice O(2N) Gross-Neveu model with Wilson fermions in the fermion loop formulation. Employing a worm algorithm for an open fermionic string, we simulate fluctuating topological boundary conditions and use them to tune the…
Previous work has shown that high-quality control variates for lattice Monte Carlo methods may be constructed from lattice Schwinger-Dyson relations. This paper extends that method to theories with lattice fermions, using the Thirring model…
We consider two-flavor QCD in the lattice regularization with improved Wilson fermions. In this formulation chiral symmetry is explicitly broken at order a and hence the isovector axial currents require improvement as well as a finite…
We use the effective chiral Lagrangian to analyze the phase diagram of two-flavor twisted mass lattice QCD as a function of the normal and twisted masses, generalizing previous work for the untwisted theory. We first determine the chiral…
We compute the low lying eigenvalues of the Hermitian Dirac operator in lattice QCD with $N_{\rm f} = 2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions. We discuss whether these eigenvalues are in the $\epsilon$-regime or the $p$-regime of Wilson chiral…
The nature of the phase transition in the lattice Gross-Neveu model with Wilson fermions is investigated using a new analytical technique. This involves a new type of weak coupling expansion which focuses on the partition function zeroes of…
