Twisted and orbifold formulations of lattice ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory which possess an exact supersymmetry require a $U(N)=SU(N)\otimes U(1)$ gauge group. In the naive continuum limit, the $U(1)$ modes trivially decouple and…
We consider N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on a four-dimensional lattice. The lattice formulation under consideration retains one exact supersymmetry at non-zero lattice spacing. We show that this feature combined with gauge invariance and the…
We aim to offer a kind of unifying view on two popular topics in the studies of nonperturbative aspects of Yang-Mills theories in the Landau gauge: the so-called Gribov-Zwanziger approach and the Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion. Borrowing…

Discretized nonabelian gauge theories living on finite group spaces G are defined by means of a geometric action \int Tr F \wedge *F. This technique is extended to obtain discrete versions of the Born-Infeld action. The discretizations are…

We prove that for the Ising model on a lattice of dimensionality $d \ge 2$, the zeros of the partition function $Z$ in the complex $\mu$ plane (where $\mu=e^{-2\beta H}$) lie on the unit circle $|\mu|=1$ for a wider range of $K_{n n'}=\beta…
