Stabilized Wilson fermions are a reformulation of Wilson clover fermions that incorporates several numerical stabilizing techniques, but also a local change of the fermion action - the original clover term being replaced with an…
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) with self-conjugated equations with spinor wave functions for fermion fields is considered. In the low order of the perturbation theory, matrix elements of some of QED physical processes are calculated. The…
We argue that lattice simulations of full QCD with varying quark mass are best conducted at fixed lattice spacing rather than at fixed $\beta$. We present techniques which enable this to be carried out effectively, namely the tuning in bare…

We simulate one-flavor QCD with standard Wilson fermions at finite temperature by the rational hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. In the heavy quark region when we decrease the quark mass there is an endpoint which terminates the first order…
We calculate the kaon $B$-parameter in quenched lattice QCD at $\beta=6.0$ using Wilson fermions at $\kappa=0.154$ and $0.155$. We use two kinds of non-local (``smeared'') sources for quark propagators to calculate the matrix elements…
We show how the hopping parameter expansion at order $\kappa^2$ and $\kappa^4$ can be exploited in the simulation of lattice QCD with two flavours of degenerate Wilson fermions. A natural extension of this idea is a "UV-filtering" by using…
