Here are reproduced slightly edited notes of my lectures on the classification of discrete groups generated by complex reflections of Hermitian affine spaces delivered in October of 1980 at the University of Utrecht.
The problem of fermion masses and mixings is discussed in the context of supersymmetric grand unification theories. Some predictive frameworks based on the $SU(5)$, $SO(10)$ and $SU(6)$ models are reviewed. [Based on lectures delivered at…
We present preliminary results of $B_K$ calculated using improved staggered fermions with the mixed action (valence quarks = HYP staggered fermions and sea quarks = AsqTad staggered fermions). We analyze the data based upon the prediction…
We report observations of a transient source \fermi\ from radio to \grs. \fermi\ was discovered by the {\it Fermi-LAT} in May 2017. Follow-up {\it Swift-XRT} observations revealed three flaring episodes through March 2018, and the peak…
In this work we investigate theoretical and computational aspects of novel lattice fermion formulations for the simulation of lattice gauge theories. The lattice approach to quantum gauge theories is an important tool for studying quantum…
I give a status report on the validity of the so-called ``fourth-root trick'', i.e. the procedure of representing the determinant for a single fermion by the fourth root of the staggered fermion determinant. This has been used by the MILC…
These notes are based on the lectures that one of us (HT) gave at the Summer School on the "Theory of Large Deviations and Applications", held in July 2024 at Les Houches in France. They present the basic definitions and mathematical…
Recent experiments [V.~Grinenko {\it et al.} {Nat. Phys. {\bf 17}, 1254 (2021)}; \url{http://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-021-01350-9}] reported the observation of a condensate of four-fermion composites. This is a resistive state that…
We use the Grassmann tensor renormalization group method to investigate the $N_f=2$ Schwinger model with the staggered fermions in the presence of a $2\pi$ periodic $\theta$ term in a broad range of mass. The method allows us to deal with…
The fixed point actions for Wilson and staggered lattice fermions are determined by iterating renormalization group transformations. In both cases a line of fixed points is found. Some points have very local fixed point actions. They can be…
These notes are loosely based on lectures given at the CERN Winter School on Supergravity, Strings and Gauge theories, February 2009 and at the IPM String School in Tehran, April 2009. I have focused on a few concrete topics and also on…
A cluster algorithm is constructed and applied to study the chiral limit of the strongly coupled lattice Schwinger model involving staggered fermions. The algorithm is based on a novel loop representation of the model. Finite size scaling…
Quark number susceptibilities approach their ideal gas limit at sufficiently high temperatures. As in the case of other thermodynamic quantities, this limit itself is altered substantially on lattices with small temporal extent, N_t = 4-8,…
In HISQ simulations by the MILC and Fermilab Lattice collaborations, both the light quarks and the charm quark are staggered. We extend staggered chiral perturbation theory (\schpt) to include such all-staggered heavy-light mesons. We…
A popular approximation in lattice gauge theory is an extrapolation in the number of fermion species away from the four fold degeneracy natural with the staggered fermions formulation. I show that at finite lattice spacing and for an odd…
Staggered Domain Wall Fermions (SDWF) combine the attractive chiral properties of staggered fermions with those of domain wall fermions. SDWF describe four flavors with exact U(1)xU(1) flavor chiral symmetry. An extra lattice dimension is…
Three types of fermions have been extensively studied in topological quantum materials: Dirac, Weyl, and Majorana fermions. Beyond the fundamental fermions in high energy physics, exotic fermions are allowed in condensed matter systems…
In our earlier work, the charge and matter radial distributions of heavy-light mesons were measured on a 16^3 times 24 lattice with a lattice spacing of a = 0.17 fm and a light quark mass about that of the strange quark. Several major…
We put fermions and define the Dirac operator and spin structures on a randomly triangulated 2d manifold.
