This paper establishes a precise mapping between lattice and continuum operators in theories of (1 + 1)D fermions. To reach the continuum regime of a lattice theory, renormalization group techniques are here supplemented by a new kind of…
We discuss possible definitions of discrete Dirac operators, and discuss their continuum limits. It is well-known in the lattice field theory that the straightforward discretization of the Dirac operator introduces unwanted spectral…
Lattice scalar field theories encounter a sign problem when the coupling constant is complex. This is a close cousin of the real-time sign problems that afflict the lattice Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, and a more distant relative of the…
We propose a new formulation of chiral fermions on a lattice, on the basis of a lattice extension of the covariant regularization scheme in continuum field theory. The species doublers do not emerge. The real part of the effective action is…
Here we study the long time behavior of an advection-diffusion equation with a general time varying (including random) shear flow imposing no-flux boundary conditions on channel walls. We derive the asymptotic approximation of the scalar…
In spite of many attempts to model dense granular flow, there is still no general theory capable of describing different types of flows, such as gravity-driven drainage in silos and wall-driven shear flows in Couette cells. Here, we…
A novel strong interaction beyond the standard model could provide a dynamical explanation of electroweak symmetry breaking. Experimental results strongly constrain properties of models that realise this mechanism. Whether these constraints…
Over the last decade the gradient flow formalism became an important tool for lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics. It offers remarkable renormalization properties which pave the way for cross-fertilization between perturbative and…
We study the phase diagram of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with fundamental-adjoint Wilson plaquette action. We confirm the presence of a first order bulk phase transition and we estimate the location of its end-point in the bare…
On a lattice, we construct an overlap Dirac operator which describes the propagation of a Dirac fermion in external gravity. The local Lorentz symmetry is manifestly realized as a lattice gauge symmetry, while the general coordinate…
Staggered fermion shift symmetries correspond to translations of the fermion field within the unit cell of a hypercubic lattice. They satisfy an algebra and in four Euclidean dimensions can be related to a discrete subgroup of an $SU(4)$…
We study the running of the coupling in SU(2) gauge theory with 8 massless fundamental representation fermion flavours, using the gradient flow method with the Schr\"odinger functional boundary conditions. Gradient flow allows us to measure…
This paper is devoted to the basic question of what factors determine the strain field in a quasi static granular flow. It is shown that using stress - strain rate relations is not the proper way to understand quasi static rheology. An…
We give a determination of the phenomenological value of the Wilson (or gradient) flow scales t0 and w0 for 2+1 flavours of dynamical quarks. The simulations are performed keeping the average quark mass constant, which allows the approach…
We apply the gradient flow on a color-electric two-point function that encodes the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient. The simulations are done on fine isotropic lattices in the quenched approximation at $1.5\,T_c$. The continuum…
In lattice gauge theory, there exist field transformations that map the theory to the trivial one, where the basic field variables are completely decoupled from one another. Such maps can be constructed systematically by integrating certain…
Applications of normalizing flows to the sampling of field configurations in lattice gauge theory have so far been explored almost exclusively in two space-time dimensions. We report new algorithmic developments of gauge-equivariant flow…
Sampling a probability distribution with an unknown normalization constant is a fundamental problem in computational science and engineering. This task may be cast as an optimization problem over all probability measures, and an initial…
In pure gauge SU(3) near beta = 6, weak and strong coupling expansions break down and the MC method seems to be the only practical alternative. We discuss the possibility of using a modified version of perturbation theory which relies on a…
