Inspired by our recent works[1, 2] of SU(2) and SU(4) Dirac fermions subjected to plaquette interactions on square lattice, here we extend the large-scale quantum Monte Carlo investigations to the phase digram of correlated Dirac fermions…
Intersections of thick, plane SU(2) center vortices are characterized by the topological charge |Q|=1/2. We compare such intersections with the distribution of zeromodes of the Dirac operator in the fundamental and adjoint representation…

We investigate a number of fermionic condensate phases on the honeycomb lattice, to determine whether topological defects (vortices and edges) in these phases can support bound states with zero energy. We argue that topological zero modes…
We study the low-lying eigenmodes of the lattice overlap Dirac operator for SU(N) gauge theories with N=2,3,4 and 5 colours. We define a fermionic topological charge from the zero-modes of this operator and show that, as N grows, any…
Recent lattice results on Dirac low-mode removed $J=1,2$ mesons and $J=\frac{1}{2}$ baryons reveal the appearance of a new $SU(4)$ symmetry of confinement. Here the degeneracy of all $J=2$ iso-vector states within an irreducible…

Fermions moving in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice (graphene) have, at low energies, chiral symmetry. Generalizing this construction to four dimensions potentially provides fermions with chiral symmetry and only the minimal fermion…
