We study the massive Schwinger model, quantum electrodynamics of massive, Dirac fermions, in 1+1 dimensions; with space compactified to a circle. In the limit that transitions to fermion--anti-fermion pairs can be neglected, we study the…
An SU(2) gauge theory with two fermions transforming under the adjoint representation of the gauge group may appear conformal or almost conformal in the infrared. We use lattice simulations to study the spectrum of this theory and present…

We consider the detailed renormalization of two (1+1)-dimensional gauge theories which are quantized without preserving gauge invariance: the chiral and the "anomalous" Schwinger models. By regularizing the non-perturbative divergences that…

We compute the fixed point action for the Schwinger model through an expansion in the gauge field. The calculation allows a check of the locality of the action. We test its perfection by computing the 1-loop mass gap at finite spatial…
The condition for a lattice Dirac operator D to reproduce correct chiral anomaly at each site of a finite lattice for smooth background gauge fields is that D possesses exact zero modes satisfying the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. This is…
The possibility that gauge theories with chiral symmetry breaking below the conformal window exhibit an infrared fixed point is explored. With this assumption three aspects of pion physics are reproduced if the the quark mass anomalous…
We study the influence of the anomaly on the physical quantum picture of the chiral Schwinger model (CSM) defined on $S^1$. We show that such phenomena as the total screening of charges and the dynamical mass generation characteristic for…

We study in this paper the finite-size effects of a non-periodic lattice on a lattice calculation. To this end we use a finite lattice equipped with a central difference derivative with homogeneous boundary conditions to calculate the…
The Microcanonical Fermionic Average method has been used so far in the context of lattice models with phase transitions at finite coupling. To test its applicability to Asymptotically Free theories, we have implemented it in QED$_2$, \it…
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…
