I investigate an SU(3) gauge model with 12 fundamental fermions. The physically interesting region of this strongly coupled system can be influenced by an ultraviolet fixed point due to lattice artifacts. I suggest to use a gauge action…
We calculate the effective action for a constant magnetic field and a time-dependent time-component of the gauge field in 2+1 dimensions at finite temperature. We also discuss the behaviour of the charge density and the fermion condensate…

We apply Schrodinger-functional techniques to the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with N_f=2 flavors of fermions in the adjoint representation. Our use of hypercubic smearing enables us to work at stronger couplings than did previous studies,…
In this paper (the second of a series) we extend our calculation of a classical fixed point action for lattice $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory to include gauge configurations with large fluctuations. The action is parameterized in terms of closed…

Lattice fermions have well-known difficulties with chiral symmetry. To evade them it is possible to couple continuum fermions to lattice gauge fields, by introducing an interpolation of the latter. Following this line of thinking, this…
