It is well known that, in Landau gauge, the renormalization function of the ghost-ghost-gluon vertex \widetilde{Z}_1(p^2) is finite and constant, at least to all orders of perturbation theory. On the other hand, a direct non-perturbative…
In 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with a monopole term added to the Wilson action we first reveal some properties of a third phase region at negative $\beta$. Then at some larger values of the monopole coupling $\lambda$ by a…
In this study we present lattice results on the QCD $\beta$-function in the presence of quark masses. The $\beta$-function is calculated to three loops in perturbation theory and for improved lattice actions; it is extracted from the…
We study the renormalisation of $SU(N_c)$ gauge theories on general anisotropic lattices, to one-loop order in perturbation theory, employing the background field method. The results are then applied in the context of two different…
We consider general renormalizable scalar field theory and derive six-loop beta functions for all parameters in d = 4 dimensions within the $\overline{MS}$-scheme. We do not explicitly compute relevant loop integrals but utilize…
We investigate consequences of the effective colour-dielectric formulation of lattice gauge theory using the light-cone Hamiltonian formalism with a transverse lattice (hep-ph/9704408). As a quantitative test of this approach, we have…
In this paper we show that the apparent failure of QCD lattice perturbation theory to account for Monte Carlo measurements of perturbative quantities results from choosing the bare lattice coupling constant as the expansion parameter. Using…
We present new results on properties of $SU(2)$ QCD in lattice regularization. Our main goal is to find the transition line confinement - deconfinement in $\mu - T$ plane. We compute the Polyakov loop and the string tension to determine…

First results of a recently started simulation of full QCD with two flavours of sea-quarks at a coupling of $\beta = 5.6$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice are presented. Emphasis is laid on the statistical significance that can be achieved by…
We discuss a class of saddle-point configurations in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in three Euclidean dimensions. These configurations are smooth on the scale of the lattice and have an action density exhibiting localized peaks, as has been…
We illustrate a technique for fitting lattice QCD correlators to sums of exponentials that is significantly faster than traditional fitting methods --- 10--40 times faster for the realistic examples we present. Our examples are drawn from a…
Lattice gauge theory is an essential tool for strongly interacting non-Abelian fields, such as those in quantum chromodynamics where lattice results have been of central importance for several decades. Recent studies suggest that quantum…
We derive the two-point spectral correlation function of the Dirac operator with a specific external source in the $\epsilon$-regime of QCD. This correlation function has a unique and strong dependence on $F_\pi$, and thus provides an novel…
We study a five-dimensional pure SU(2) gauge theory formulated on the orbifold and discretized on the lattice by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The gauge symmetry is explicitly broken to U(1) at the orbifold boundaries. The action is the…
Some recent beyond Standard Model phenomenology is based on new strongly interacting dynamics of $SU(N)$ gauge fields coupled to various numbers of fermions. When $N=3$ these systems are analogues of QCD, although the fermion masses are…
A number of proposed extensions of the Standard Model include new strongly interacting dynamics, in the form of SU(N) gauge fields coupled to various numbers of fermions. Often, these extensions allow N = 3 as a plausible choice, or even…
A modified Wilson action which suppresses plaquettes which take negative values is used to study the scaling behavior of the string tension. The use of the $\b_E$ scheme gives good agreement with asymptotic two loop results.
We calculate the low-lying glueball spectrum, some string tensions and some properties of topology and the running coupling for SU(N) lattice gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions. We do so for N = 2,3,...12, using lattice simulations with the…
