We study transport in a class of physical systems possessing two conserved chiral charges. We describe a relation between universality of transport properties of such systems and the chiral anomaly. We show that the non-vanishing of a…
I review the strategies which have been developped in recent years to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice field theories. Although the techniques are general, the focus will be on applications to lattice QCD. I…
The past few years have seen many interesting theoretical developments in lattice QCD. This talk (which is intended for non-experts) focuses on the problem of non-perturbative renormalization and the question of how precisely the continuum…
The interrelation between quantum anomalies and electromagnetic fields leads to a series of non-dissipative transport effects in QCD. In this work we study anomalous transport phenomena with lattice QCD simulations using improved staggered…

Renormalizability of the (minimal) single-fermion QED extension is investigated at all orders of perturbation theory in the framework of algebraic renormalization, a regularization-independent method. Relative to the standard QED, new…
't Hooft anomalies of global symmetries play a fundamental role in quantum many-body systems and quantum field theory (QFT). In this paper, we make a systematic analysis of lattice anomalies - the analog of 't Hooft anomalies in lattice…
When a quantum field theory has a symmetry, global or local like in gauge theories, in the tree or classical approximation formal manipulations lead to believe that the symmetry can also be implemented in the full quantum theory, provided…
A global anomaly in a chiral gauge theory manifests itself in different ways in the continuum and on the lattice. In the continuum case, functional integration of the fermion determinant over the whole space of gauge fields yields zero. In…
Lattice gauge theory and chiral perturbation theory are among the primary tools for understanding non-perturbative aspects of QCD. I review several subtle and sometimes controversial issues that arise when combining these techniques. Among…
A short survey of the renormalization problem in QCD and its non-perturbative solution by means of numerical simulations on the lattice is given. Most emphasis is on scale dependent renormalizations, which can be reliably addressed via a…
We reconsider gauge-transformation properties in chiral gauge theories on the lattice observing all pertinent information and show that these properties are actually determined in a general way for any gauge group and for any value of the…
The intrinsic dynamical complexity of classically chaotic systems enforces a universal description of the transport properties of their wave-mechanical analogues. These universal rules have been established within the framework of linear…
Anomalous correlators of vector and axial currents which enter the Kubo formulae for the chiral magnetic and the chiral separation conductivities are explicitly calculated for free overlap fermions on the lattice. The results are confronted…
We present an exploratory study of a gauge-invariant non-perturbative renormalization technique. The renormalization conditions are imposed on correlation functions of composite operators in coordinate space on the lattice. Numerical…
We analyze the chiral transport terms in relativistic superfluid hydrodynamics. In addition to the spontaneously broken symmetry current, we consider an arbitrary number of unbroken symmetries and extend the results of arXiv:1105.3733. We…
A redesigned starting point for covariant \phi^4_n, n\ge 4, models is suggested that takes the form of an alternative lattice action and which may have the virtue of leading to a nontrivial quantum field theory in the continuum limit. The…
A calculation of the chiral anomaly on a finite lattice without fermion doubling is presented . The lattice gauge field is defined in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Standard formulas for the continuum anomaly are obtained as a…
