In $\mathrm{U(1)}$ lattice gauge theory in three spacetime dimensions, confinement can be analytically shown to persist at all values of the coupling. Furthermore, the explicit predictions for the dependence of string tension $\sigma$ and…
New tests are applied to two $\beta$-functions of the much-discussed BSM model with ten massless fermion flavors in the fundamental representation of the SU(3) color gauge group. The renormalization scheme of the two $\beta$-functions is…
A discretized massless wave equation in two dimensions, on an appropriately chosen square lattice, exactly reproduces the solutions of the corresponding continuous equations. We show that the reason for this exact solution property is the…
The weak coupling expansion is applied to the single flavour Schwinger model with Wilson fermions on a symmetric toroidal lattice of finite extent. We develop a new analytic method which permits the expression of the partition function as a…

We present a method for finding lines of constant physics in the confinement phase of the SU(2) Higgs model on the lattice. The model is considered at finite values of the cut-off where it behaves like an effective field theory with three…
This talk is based on a recent paper$^{1}$ of ours. In an attempt to understand three-dimensional conformal field theories, we study in detail one such example --the large $N$ limit of the $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model at its non-trivial…
In the last few years, the methods of constructive Fermionic Renormalization Group have been successfully applied to the study of the scaling limit of several two-dimensional statistical mechanics models at the critical point, including:…
We investigate a strongly coupled U(1) gauge theory with fermions and scalars on the lattice and analyze whether the continuum limit might be a renormalizable theory with dynamical mass generation. Most attention is paid to the phase with…
We study the 4-th Binder cumulant on $4\times{N_\sigma}^3$ lattices for a pure SU(2) gauge theory. We use 20 data points for a sequence of ${N_\sigma}$ in $\beta$ intervals shrinking when ${N_\sigma}$ increases, in order to reduce the…
We use an extension of fundamental measure theory to lattice hard-core fluids to study the phase diagram of two different systems. First, two-dimensional parallel hard squares with edge-length $\sigma=2$ in a simple square lattice. This…
We investigate the singularity structure of the $(-1)^F$ graded partition function in QCD with $n_f \geq 1$ massive adjoint fermions in the large-$N$ limit. Here, $F$ is fermion number and $N$ is the number of colors. The large $N$…
The critical properties of an infinitely long Ising strip with finite width L joined periodically or antiperiodically are investigated by analyzing the distribution of partition function zeros. For periodic boundary condition, the the…
I investigate the Kazakov-Migdal (KM) model -- the Hermitean gauge-invariant matrix model on a D-dimensional lattice. I utilize an exact large-N solution of the KM model with a logarithmic potential to examine its critical behavior. I find…
The lattice phase structure of a gauge theory can be a serious obstruction to Monte Carlo studies of its continuum behaviour. This issue is particularly delicate when numerical studies are performed to determine whether a theory is in a…
Motivated by the electroweak hierarchy problem, we consider theories with two extra dimensions in which the four-dimensional scalar fields are components of gauge boson in full space, namely the Gauge-Higgs unification framework. We briefly…
We investigate the spectrum of the SU(2) gauge theory with $N_f$ = 2 flavors of fermions in the fundamental representation, in the continuum, using lattice simulations. This model provides a minimal template which has been used for…
Incorporated with twisted boundary condition, Polyakov loop correlators can give a definition of the renormalized coupling. We employ this scheme for the step scaling method (with step size s = 2) in the search of conformal fixed point of…
I review the Thirring model in 2+1$d$ dimensions, focussing in particular on possible strongly-interacting UV-stable fixed points of the renormalisation group, corresponding to a continuous phase transition where a U($2N$) global symmetry…
