We report on the status of our dynamical simulations of a $SU (N_c )$ gauge theory with $N_c=3-6$ and $N_f =4$ fundamental fermions. These ensembles can be used to study the Large $N_c$ scaling of weak matrix elements in the GIM limit…

This paper studies the decay of a large, closed domain wall in a closed universe. Such walls can form in the presence of a broken, discrete symmetry. We introduce a novel process of quantum decay for such a wall, in which the vacuum…

The quark-meson model is often used as an effective low-energy model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$. The parameters in the quark-meson model can be found by expressing…
