We provide numerical results for the running coupling in $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory as determined from an analysis of lattice two and three-point gluon correlation functions. The coupling is evaluated directly, from first principles, by…
The thermodynamic properties of a SU(3) gauge theory without quarks are calculated using a string formulation for 1.2T_c < T < 3T_c. The results are in good agreement with the lattice data. We also comment on SU(N) gauge theories.
In this note we give a simple proof for the convergence of stochastic gradient (SGD) methods on $\mu$-convex functions under a (milder than standard) $L$-smoothness assumption. We show that for carefully chosen stepsizes SGD converges after…
We apply the Symanzik improvement programme to the 4+1-dimensional local re-formulation of the gradient flow in pure $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theories. We show that the classical nature of the flow equation allows to eliminate all cutoff…
Supersymmetric gauge theories are an essential part of most theories beyond the standard model. In the present work we investigate the pure gauge sector of Super-QCD focusing on the bound states, i.e. mesonic gluinoballs, gluino-glueballs…
The scaling behavior of pure gauge SU(3) in the region $\beta=5.85 - 7.60$ is examined by a Monte Carlo Renormalization Group analysis. The coupling shifts induced by factor 2 blocking are measured both on 32$^4$ and 16$^4$ lattices with…
We present constraints on the CKM parameter gamma=arg(Vub*) formed within the framework of SU(3) symmetry and based on charmless hadronic B decays to K*+- pi-+ and other pseudoscalar-vector final states. For strong phases of O(10 degrees),…
We try to separate the perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the plaquette of pure SU(3) gauge theory. To do this we look at the large-n asymptotic behaviour of the perturbation series in order to estimate the contribution of…
We use lattice simulations to study SU(3) gauge theory with 13 massless fermions in the fundamental representation. We present evidence that the theory is conformal with a non-zero infrared fixed point in the gauge coupling. We use a…
We study the SU(2) gauge theory with the interpolating gauge {\it a la} Parrinello--Jona-Lasinio--Zwanziger (PJLZ) with the gauge fixing functional $F=\sum_{x\mu} {1/2}\tr (U_{x\mu}\sigma_3U_{x\mu}^{\dagger}\sigma_3)$. We find a strong…
We calculate shear viscosity and bulk viscosity in SU(3) gauge theory on the lattice at $1.5 \,T_c$. The viscosities are extracted via a Kubo formula from the reconstructed spectral function which we determine from the Euclidean-time…
We summarise what lattice simulations have to say about the physical properties of continuum SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions. The quantities covered are: the glueball mass spectrum, the confining string tension, the temperature at…
We present a renormalizability proof for spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory based on Flow Equations. It is a conceptually and technically simplified version of the earlier paper [KM] including some extensions. The proof of [KM] also…

A non-perturbative finite-size scaling technique is used to study the evolution of the running coupling (in a certain adapted scheme) in the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. At low energies contact is made with the fundamental dynamical scales,…
