We calculate the mass spectra and string tensions of SU(2), SU(3), SU(4) and SU(5) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We do so by simulating the corresponding lattice theories and then extrapolating dimensionless mass ratios to the continuum…
In the standard model the running quartic coupling becomes negative during its renormalization group flow, which destabilizes the vacuum. We consider U(1) extensions of the standard model, with an extra complex scalar field and a…
We investigate the relativistic corrections to the static potential, i.e. the O(1/m) potential and the O(1/m^2) velocity-dependent potentials, in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. They are important ingredients of potential nonrelativistic QCD…
The small-scale structure of a string connecting a pair of static sources is explored for the weakly-coupled anisotropic SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions. A crucial ingredient in the formulation of the string Hamiltonian is the…

We perform the first study for the static penta-quark (5Q) potential in lattice QCD with $\beta$=6.0 and $16^3 \times 32$ at the quenched level. Accurate results of the 5Q potential are extracted from the 5Q Wilson loop using the smearing…

We calculate the string tensions of $k$-strings in SU($N$) gauge theories in both 3 and 4 dimensions. In D=3+1, we find that the ratio of the $k=2$ string tension to the $k = 1$ fundamental string tension is consistent, at the $2 \sigma$…
