We use lattice QCD to investigate the spectrum of the $\bar{b} \bar{b} u d$ four-quark system with quantum numbers $I(J^P) = 0(1^+)$. We use five different gauge-link ensembles with $2+1$ flavors of domain-wall fermions, including one at…
We study three practical implementations of the Overlap-Dirac operator $D_o= (1/2) [1 + \gamma_5\epsilon(H_w)]$ in four dimensions. Two implementations are based on different representations of $\epsilon(H_w)$ as a sum over poles. One of…
We report on an exploratory study of domain wall fermions (DWF) as a lattice regularisation for heavy quarks. Within the framework of quenched QCD with the tree-level improved Symanzik gauge action we identify the DWF parameters which…
The dynamics of zero modes in gauge theory is highly nontrivial due to its nonperturbative nature even in the case where the other modes can be treated perturbatively. One of the related issues concerns the possible instability of the…
The $SU(3)\otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ standard model maps smoothly onto a conventional lattice gauge formulation, including the parity violation of the weak interactions. The formulation makes use of the pseudo-reality of the weak group and…
After a brief review of discovery of the H-dibaryon in lattice QCD, effect of the flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking on the H-dibaryon is studied by basing on the baryon-baryon (BB) interactions extracted from QCD on the lattice. The…
We construct a four dimensional lattice gauge theory in which fermions acquire mass without breaking symmetries as a result of gauge interactions. Our model consists of reduced staggered fermions transforming in the bifundamental…
We perform hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of (2+1+1)-flavors lattice QCD with the optimal domain-wall fermion (which has the effective 4D Dirac operator exactly equal to the Zolotarev optimal rational approximation of the overlap Dirac…
We provide first evidence that Matrix Models describe the low lying complex Dirac eigenvalues in a theory with dynamical fermions at non-zero density. Lattice data for gauge group SU(2) with staggered fermions are compared to detailed…
SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated where the traces of the Wilson lines at any lattice point and along each direction is constrained to zero. Hence, each of the lattice configurations possesses a vanishing density of heavy (anti-)…
Nonperturbative properties of gluons are studied in SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level. The first subject is a functional-form analysis of the gluon propagator $D_{\mu\nu}^{ab}(x)$ in the Landau gauge. We find that the gluon propagator…
A $k$-regular graph is called a divisible design graph (DDG for short) if its vertex set can be partitioned into $m$ classes of size $n$, such that two distinct vertices from the same class have exactly $\lambda_1$ common neighbors, and two…
The propagation of Dirac fermions in graphene through a long-period periodic potential would result in a band folding together with the emergence of a series of cloned Dirac points (DPs). In highly aligned graphene/hexagonal boron nitride…
Recently a global SU(4) \supset SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_A symmetry of the confining Coulombic part of the QCD Hamiltonian has been discovered with N_F=2. This global symmetry includes both independent rotations of the left- and…
In graphene, the approximate SU(4) symmetry associated with the spin and valley degrees of freedom in the quantum Hall (QH) regime is reflected in the 4-fold degeneracy of graphene's Landau levels (LL's). Interactions and the Zeeman effect…

The ability to manipulate two-dimensional (2D) electrons with external electric fields provides a route to synthetic band engineering. By imposing artificially designed and spatially periodic superlattice (SL) potentials, 2D electronic…
Carbon allotropes such as diamond, nano-tube, Fullerene, and Graphene, have unique lattice symmetries of crystal lattice, but these are topologically trivial. We have proposed a topologically-nontrivial allotrope, named Hopfene, which has…
We consider a SU(2) lattice gauge theory on the square lattice, with a single fundamental complex fermion and a single fundamental complex boson on each lattice site. Projective symmetries of the gauge-charged fermions are chosen so that…
