We elaborate on our previous work on N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we show how to explicitly determine the low energy quantum effective action for $G=SU(3)$ from the underlying hyperelliptic Riemann surface, and…

The topological charge distribution P(Q) is calculated for lattice ${\rm CP}^{N-1}$ models. In order to suppress lattice cut-off effects we employ a fixed point (FP) action. Through transformation of P(Q) we calculate the free energy…
I report on the status of a computation of fundamental and some higher representation string tensions in pure gauge SU(3). An order a^2 tadpole improved action and an anisotropic lattice are used. At present, the static quark potentials and…
The scalar glueball mass and the string tension are computed in lattice SU(3) gauge theory with the aim of establishing the effectiveness of the improved action approach in removing finite-spacing artifacts.
The string tensions for fundamental and a variety of representations: adjoint, 6, 10, 15-symmetric, 15-antisymmetric, and 27 have been measured in pure gauge SU(3). The calculations have been done on anisotropic lattices, using an $O(a^2)$…
We explore a method developed in statistical physics which has been argued to have exponentially small finite-volume effects, in order to determine the critical temperature Tc of pure SU(3) gauge theory close to the continuum limit. The…
The fixed-point spectrum of a locally compact second countable group G on lp is defined to be the set of real numbers p such that every action by affine isometries of G on lp admits a fixed-point. We show that this set is either empty, or…
Using a tadpole improved SU(2) gluodynamics action, the nonabelian potential and the abelian potential after the abelian projection are computed. Rotational invariance is found restored at coarse lattices both in the nonabelian theory and…
Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking are expected to display a quasi-conformal scaling behaviour in order to accommodate experimental constraints. The scaling properties of a theory can be studied using finite volume…
Interpreting the way that the SU(3) bare lattice coupling runs with the lattice spacing is complicated by the fact that there is a smooth cross-over region in which the strong coupling expansion transforms into a weak-coupling one. For N >…
Fixed point actions for free and interacting staggered lattice fermions are constructed by iterating renormalization group transformations. At large N the fixed point action for the Gross-Neveu model is a perfect action in the sense of…
We report on a high statistics simulation of SU(2) pure gauge field theory at finite temperature, using Symanzik action. We determine the critical coupling for the deconfinement phase transition on lattices up to 8 x 24, using Finite Size…
Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…
We introduce a new Symanzik improved action by adding a 2x2 plaquette in such a way that the Feynman rules in the covariant gauge simplify. We call this the square Symanzik action. Some comparisons with the continuum and the standard Wilson…
We explore aspects of the phase structure of SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theories at strong coupling with many flavours $N_f$ of Wilson fermions in the fundamental representation. The pseudoscalar meson mass as a function of hopping…
We consider a lattice gauge theory at finite temperature in ($d$+1) dimensions with the Wilson action and different couplings $\beta_t$ and $\beta_s$ for timelike and spacelike plaquettes. By using the character expansion and…
We discuss weak coupling perturbation theory for lattice actions in which the fermions couple to smeared gauge links. The normally large integrals that appear in lattice perturbation theory are drastically reduced. Even without detailed…
The thermodynamics of the SU(3) gauge theory has been analyzed with tree level and tadpole improved Symanzik actions. A comparison with the continuum extrapolated results for the standard Wilson action shows that improved actions lead to a…
Finite size scaling is a powerful tool to study the critical properties of systems governed by one relevant operator, assuming all irrelevant operators have scaling dimensions much smaller then zero. This condition is likely not satisfied…
