Lattice QED2 with the Wilson formulation of fermions is used as a convenient model system to study artifacts of the quenched approximation on a finite lattice. The quenched functional integral is shown to be ill-defined in this system as a…
At stronger gauge-field couplings, the domain wall fermion (DWF) residual mass, a measure of chiral symmetry breaking, grows rapidly. This measure is largely due to near zero fermion eigenmodes of logarithm of the 4D transfer matrix along…
We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. We aim at…

Numerical evaluation of the overlap Dirac operator is difficult since it contains the sign function $\epsilon(H_w)$ of the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator $H_w$ with a negative mass term. The problems are due to $H_w$ having very small…
Overlap fermions implement exact chiral symmetry on the lattice and are thus an appropriate tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the QCD vacuum. We study various chiral and topological aspects on…

The chiral properties of lattice fermions can be improved by altering either their fermion-gauge coupling or the pure gauge part of the action (or both). Using both perturbation theory and nonperturbative simulation, we compare a simple…
Finite density simulations require dynamical fermions which are computationally demanding. We employ Ferrenberg and Swendsen reweighting method to reduce the number of ensembles needed. We use their method to do a combined reweighting in…
