We study Schwinger-Dyson equation for fermions in Yukawa and Wess-Zumino models, in terms of dynamical mass generation and the wavefunction renormalization function. In the Yukawa model with $\gamma_5$-type interaction between scalars and…
We generalize the $N_F=2$ Schwinger model on the lattice by adding a charged scalar field. In this so-called $\chi U\phi_2$ model the scalar field shields the fermion charge, and a neutral fermion, acquiring mass dynamically, is present in…
We study a lattice model of interacting Dirac fermions in $(2+1)$ dimension space-time with an SU(4) symmetry. While increasing interaction strength, this model undergoes a {\it continuous} quantum phase transition from the weakly…
We investigate the real-time dynamics of U(1) and SU(N) gauge theories coupled to fermions on a lattice. While real-time lattice gauge theory is not amenable to standard importance sampling techniques, for a large class of time-dependent…
We present the phase structure of the chiral SU(2)xSU(2) scalar-fermion model on the lattice using the Zaragoza proposal for chiral fermions. The numerical result agrees with an analytic study based on the use of weak and strong Yukawa…
In this work we study the dynamical generation of a fermion mass induced by a constant and uniform external magnetic field in an Abelian gauge model with a Yukawa term. We show that the Yukawa coupling not only enhances the dynamical…

We study the generation of fermion mass in a context where interactions break a discrete chiral symmetry. Then, fermion mass is not protected by a symmetry, no symmetry is broken by the generation of mass, and a vanishing mass no longer…
