Lattice Yang-Mills theories at finite temperature can be mapped onto effective 3d spin systems, thus facilitating their numerical investigation. Using strong-coupling expansions we derive effective actions for Polyakov loops in the $SU(2)$…
We extend the parameter regimes for which area law is proven for pure $\mathrm{U}(N)$ lattice Yang-Mills theories, in particular when $N$ is large. This improves on a classical result of Osterwalder-Seiler from 1978. To do so, we view the…
The complex Langevin method in conjunction with the gauge cooling is applied to the two-dimensional lattice $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory that is analytically solvable. We obtain strong numerical evidence that at large Langevin time the…
Although lattice Yang-Mills theory on finite subgraphs of $\mathbb Z^d$ is easy to rigorously define, the construction of a satisfactory continuum theory on $\mathbb R^d$ is a major open problem when $d \geq 3$. Such a theory should in some…
In this paper, we investigate the Langevin dynamics of various lattice formulations of the Yang--Mills--Higgs model, with an inverse Yang--Mills coupling $\beta$ and a Higgs parameter $\kappa$. The Higgs component is either a bounded field…
We propose a new description of the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a lattice, which enables one to explain quark confinement based on the dual superconductivity picture in a gauge independent way. This is because we can define gauge-invariant…
We present a novel lattice calculation of the equation of state of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the confining phase. We show that a gas of massive, non-interacting glueballs describes remarkably well the results, provided that a bosonic…
