We study the phase diagram of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with fundamental-adjoint Wilson plaquette action. We confirm the presence of a first order bulk phase transition and we estimate the location of its end-point in the bare…

We develop and test a spectral-density analysis method, based on the introduction of smeared energy kernels, to extract physical information from two-point correlation functions computed numerically in lattice field theory. We apply it to a…
We examine the problem of gauge-field localization in higher-dimensional gauge theories. In particular, we study a five-dimensional U(1) by lattice techniques and we find that gauge fields can indeed be localized. Two models are considered.…
We study relativistic fermionic systems in $3+1$ spacetime dimensions at finite chemical potential and zero temperature, from a path-integral point of view. We show how to properly account for the $i\varepsilon$ term that projects on the…
The formulation of massless relativistic fermions in lattice gauge theories is hampered by the fundamental problem of species doubling, namely, the rise of spurious fermions modifying the underlying physics. A suitable tailoring of the…
We study a new confining gauge theory with fermions in a vectorial representation under the SM gauge group that allows for Yukawa interactions with the Higgs. If the fermion masses are smaller than the confinement scale this realizes a type…
We report the first results from our comprehensive lattice tool set to explore non-perturbative aspects of Higgs physics in the Standard Model. We demonstrate in Higgs-Yukawa models that Higgs mass lower bounds and upper bounds can be…
We discuss two new DoS approaches for finite density lattice QCD. The paper extends a recent presentation of the new techniques based on Wilson fermions, while here we now discuss and test the case of finite density QCD with staggered…
We investigate a recent proposal to construct chiral gauge theories on the lattice using domain wall fermions. We restrict ourselves to the finite volume case, in which two domain walls are present, with modes of opposite chirality on each…
Lattice field theory is a useful tool for studying strongly interacting theories in condensed matter physics. A prominent example is the unitary Fermi gas: a two-component system of fermions interacting with divergent scattering length.…
Duality transformations play a very important role in theoretical physics. In this paper I propose new duality transformations for fermionic theories. They map the strong coupling regime of one theory to the weak coupling regime of another…
The feasibility of studying, numerically, properties of infinite volume QCD-like theories in the large $N$ limit using coherent state variational methods is reassessed. An entirely new implementation of this approach is described,…
We construct a lattice gauge theory using reduced staggered fermions and gauge fields which provides a non-perturbative realization of a {\it complete} technicolor model; one which treats both strong and weakly coupled gauge sectors on an…
In contrast to the commonly used lattice Boltzmann method, off-lattice Boltzmann methods decouple the velocity discretization from the underlying spatial grid, thus allowing for more efficient geometric representations of complex…
We study the two-dimensional lattice multicomponent Abelian-Higgs model, which is a lattice compact U(1) gauge theory coupled with an N-component complex scalar field, characterized by a global SU(N) symmetry. In agreement with the…
We present some arguments showing spectrum doubling of matrix models in the limit $N\to\infty$ which is connected with fermionic determinant behaviour. The problems are similar to ones encountered in the lattice gauge theories with chiral…
We report tests and results from a new approach to the spectral density and the mode number distribution of the Dirac operator in lattice gauge theories. The algorithm generates the spectral density of the lattice Dirac operator as a…
The naturalness problem in the Higgs sector finds a popular solution in composite Higgs models. In such theories the Higgs boson emerges as the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with the breaking of a global symmetry realised in a…
