We review the major progress of the past decade concerning our understanding of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The focus is on the low-energy region (below pion production threshold), but a brief outlook towards higher energies is also…
We discuss the central charge in supersymmetric ${\cal N}=2$ sigma models in two dimensions. The target space is a symmetric K\"ahler manifold, CP$(N-1)$ is an example. The U(1) isometries allow one to introduce twisted masses in the model.…
We compare the behavior of overlap fermions, which are chirally invariant, and of Wilson twisted mass fermions at full twist in the approach to the chiral limit. Our quenched simulations reveal that with both formulations of lattice…
We present a nucleon structure analysis including local isovector charges as well as twist-2 operator insertions. Computations are performed on CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ Wilson fermions, covering four values of the lattice spacing and…
The twisted reduced model of large $N$ QCD with two adjoint Wilson fermions is studied numerically using the Hybrid Monte Carlo method. This is the one-site model, whose large $N$ limit (large volume limit) is expected to be conformal or…
We present an exploratory study of leading isospin breaking effects in mesonic masses using $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions with open boundaries. Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken by distinct masses and electric charges of the up and…

We discuss topological theories, arising from the general $\mathcal{N}=2$ twisted gauge theories. We initiate a program of their study in the Gromov-Witten paradigm. We re-examine the low-energy effective abelian theory in the presence of…
We consider the dynamic response functions of interacting one dimensional spin-1/2 fermions at arbitrary momenta. We build a non-perturbative zero-temperature theory of the threshold singularities using mobile impurity Hamiltonians. The…

We present a lattice computation of the isospin-breaking corrections to pseudoscalar meson masses using the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass collaboration with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ dynamical quarks at three values of…
We revisit a theory that proposes a dark charge, $D$, as a dequantization of the electric charge, $Q$. We find that the general arguments of anomaly cancelation and fermion mass generation yield both $D$ and $Q$, nontrivially unified with…
The existence of mirror fermions interacting strongly under a new gauge group and having masses near the electroweak scale has been recently proposed as a viable alternative to the standard-model Higgs mechanism. The main purpose of this…
The magnetic polarisability of the neutral pion has been calculated using the background field method in lattice QCD. These early results do not consider the effect of the disconnected loop contractions arising from the breaking of charge…
