The phase diagram and critical behavior of scalar quantum electrodynamics are investigated using lattice gauge theory techniques. The lattice action fixes the length of the scalar (``Higgs'') field and treats the gauge field as non-compact.…
This is the completion of an exploratory study of Compact lattice Quantum Electrodynamics with a weak four-fermi interaction and four species of massless fermions. In this formulation of Quantum Electrodynamics massless fermions can be…
By adding a small, irrelevant four fermi interaction to the action of lattice Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), the theory can be simulated with massless quarks in a vacuum free of lattice monopoles. This allows an ab initio high precision,…
We consider a noncompact lattice formulation of the three-dimensional electrodynamics with $N$-component complex scalar fields, i.e., the lattice Abelian-Higgs model with noncompact gauge fields. For any $N\ge 2$, the phase diagram shows…
The real-time dynamics of finite-temperature gauge theories can be approximated, to leading-order accuracy in the coupling constants, by a classical field theory with the hard thermal loop Lagrangian. I show how this approach can be used in…
The generally accepted ``triviality'' of $\lambda\Phi^4$ theories does not forbid Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking but implies a trivially free shifted field which becomes effectively governed by a quadratic hamiltonian. As a consequence, one…
We investigate lattice simulations of scalar and nonabelian gauge fields in Minkowski space-time. For SU(2) gauge-theory expectation values of link variables in 3+1 dimensions are constructed by a stochastic process in an additional (5th)…
We review recent suggestions to quantum simulate scalar electrodynamics (the lattice Abelian Higgs model) in $1+1$ dimensions with rectangular arrays of Rydberg atoms. We show that platforms made publicly available recently allow empirical…
We suggest a simple modification of the usual procedures of analysis for the high-temperature (strong-coupling or hopping-parameter) expansions of the renormalized four-point coupling constant in the fourdimensional phi^4 lattice scalar…
The order of the Coulomb-Higgs transition in the U(1)-Higgs model with unfrozen modulus of the scalar field is studied. Large lattices (up to $24^4$ in one case) and high statistics are used. We fix $\beta =1.15$ and explore specially a…
We perform a nonperturbative lattice study of the electroweak phase transition in the real singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model.We consider both the heavy and light singlet-like scalar regimes at non-zero singlet-doublet mixing…
We investigate under which conditions the three-dimensional (3D) multicomponent Abelian-Higgs (AH) field theory (scalar electrodynamics) is the continuum limit of statistical lattice gauge models, i.e., when it characterizes the universal…
Lattice gauge theories are fundamental to our understanding of high-energy physics. Nevertheless, the search for suitable platforms for their quantum simulation has proven difficult. We show that the Abelian Higgs model in 1+1 dimensions is…
In this talk we present some recent and new results on the phase structure and the continuum limit of lattice formulation of pure gauge QED coupled to Higgs fields. We show the presence of second order phase transition lines allowing for a…
There are two physically different interpretations of ``triviality'' in $(\lambda\Phi^4)_4$ theories. The conventional description predicts a second-order phase transition and that the Higgs mass $m_h$ must vanish in the continuum limit if…
In order to solve quantum field theory in a non-perturbative way, Lagrangian lattice simulations have been very successful. Here we discuss a recently proposed alternative Hamiltonian lattice formulation - the Monte Carlo Hamiltonian. In…
Loops of the scalar particles present in Little Higgs models generate radiatively scalar operators that have been overlooked before in Little Higgs analyses. We compute them using a technique, recently proposed to deal with scalar…

The triviality Higgs mass bound is studied {\it without} lattice regulator in the spontaneously broken phase of the four dimensional O(4) symmetric scalar field theory with quartic self-interaction. A higher derivative term is introduced in…
