In this paper, aliasing effects are investigated for random fields defined on the d-dimensional sphere and reconstructed from discrete samples. First, we introduce the concept of an aliasing function on the sphere. The aliasing function…
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…

Regular sampling in the time domain results in aliasing in the frequency domain that complicates the accurate determination of the periods of astrophysical variables. We propose to actively break the regularity of this sampling by providing…

I present a brief introduction to the lattice formulation of quantum field theory, and discuss the use of lattice simulations for studies in particle physics phenomenology. The computation of $f_B$, the decay constant of the $B$-meson, is…
We investigate a lattice scalar field theory in the presence of a bias favouring the establishment of an energy current, as a model for stationary nonequilibrium processes at low temperature in a non-integrable system. There is a transition…
This work develops and applies the concept of mollification in order to smooth out highly oscillatory exponentials. This idea, known for quite a while in the mathematical community (mollifiers are a means to smooth distributions), is new to…

Smearing of gauge-field configurations in lattice field theory improves the results of lattice simulations by suppressing high energy modes from correlation functions. In quantum simulations, high kinetic energy eigenstates are introduced…

Lattice QCD with an even number of degenerate quark flavours is shown to be a limit of a local bosonic field theory. The action of the bosonic theory is real and bounded from below so that standard simulation algorithms can be expected to…
We discuss some formal aspects of quantum anomalies with an emphasis on the regularization of field theory. We briefly review how ambiguities in perturbation theory have been resolved by various regularization schemes. To single out the…
Since the quantum field theory treats a system of particles, there must be a distribution which is associated with the system of particles. It means that a meaningful quantity is adjoined in the system of particles. It seems that these…
