Optical flow is typically estimated by minimizing a "data cost" and an optional regularizer. While there has been much work on different regularizers many modern algorithms still use a data cost that is not very different from the ones used…

At a fixed lattice spacing, as determined by say m_\rho, adding additional fermion flavors to a dynamical simulation produces rougher gauge field configurations at the lattice scale. For domain wall fermions, these rough configurations lead…
Non-zero topological charge is prohibited in the chiral limit of gauge-fermion systems because any instanton would create a zero mode of the Dirac operator. On the lattice, however, the geometric $Q_\text{geom}=\langle F{\tilde F}\rangle…
