Nonperturbative lattice methods are applied to the investigation of strong, electroweak, and gravitational interactions. Selected models of new physics (expected at the TeV scale) are discussed.
Weak value is increasingly acknowledged as an important research tool for probing quantum pre- and post-selected ensembles, where some extraordinary phenomena occur. We generalize this concept to the broader notion of "weak potential" which…

The agreement of electroweak measurements with theory places limits on the masses of the top quark and the $W$ boson. It is shown how these limits arise and what constraints various measurements (particularly a top quark mass determination)…
We summarize the indirect effects of new physics in a variety of processes. We consider precision electroweak measurements, the $g-2$ of the muon, rare decays, meson mixing, CP violation, lepton number violating interactions, double beta…

The formation of hadrons is a fundamental process in nature that can be investigated at particle colliders. As several recent findings demonstrate, with $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ collisions as a "vacuum-like" reference at one extreme, and central…
