We investigate the fermion determinant of a new action on a $(1+D)$-dimensional lattice for SU(2) gauge groups. This action possesses the discrete chiral symmetry and provides $2^D$-component fermions. We also comment on the numerical…
We investigate possible problems with universality in lattice gauge theory where a mixed fundamental SU(2) and SO(3)-invariant gauge group is used: the (second order) finite temperature phase transition becomes involved with first order…
Motivated by the success of the non-commutative scalar Grosse-Wulkenhaar model, a non-commutative U(1) gauge field theory including an oscillator-like term in the action has been put forward in arXiv:0705.4205. The aim of the current work…
Lattice gauge field theories may suffer from unphysical "bulk" phase transitions at strong lattice gauge coupling. We introduce a one-parameter family of lattice SU(N) gauge actions which, when used in combination with an HMC update…
We analyze the divergent part of the one-loop effective action for the noncommutative SU(2) gauge theory coupled to the fermions in the fundamental representation. We show that the divergencies in the 2-point and the 3-point functions in…
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 present results for the one-loop value of the improvement coefficient $c_\mathrm{SW}$ for Wilson and Brillouin fermions subject to stout smearing or Wilson flow, in combination with Wilson or Symanzik glue. To this end we use a recently…
Lattice artifacts in the 2d O(n) non-linear sigma-model are expected to be of the form O(a^2), and hence it was (when first observed) disturbing that some quantities in the O(3) model with various actions show parametrically stronger cutoff…
We study SU(2) gluodynamics at finite temperature on both sides of the deconfining phase transition. We create the lattice ensembles using the tree-level tadpole-improved Symanzik action. The Neuberger overlap Dirac operator is used to…
We present a condition for automatic O$(a)$ improvement in twisted mass lattice QCD, using symmetries of the Symanzik effective theory. If the continuum part of the Symanzik effective theory is invariant under a particular transformation,…
Using a variant of the IMCRG method of Gupta and Cordery, we explicitly compute majority rule block spin effective actions for the signs of the Polyakov loops in 4D SU(2) finite temperature lattice gauge theories. To the best of our…
We study the four-dimensional SU(3) gauge model with a fundamental and an adjoint plaquette term in the action. We investigate whether corrections to scaling can be reduced by using a negative value of the adjoint coupling. To this end, we…
In this paper we present one-loop results for the renormalization of nonlocal quark bilinear operators, containing a staple-shaped Wilson line, in both continuum and lattice regularizations. The continuum calculations were performed in…
Physics beyond the Standard Model, realized above the electroweak scale, can be incorporated in a model independent way in the Wilson coefficients of higher dimensional gauge invariant operators. In these proceedings we review the matching…
The surface tension at the deconfinement transition of SU(3) is determined with a parametrized version of the fixed point action of a renormalization group transformation on lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau=3$ and 4 and spatial extent…
We extend and attempt to clarify recent results which showed possible problems for universality for the gauge group SU(2). We suggest that the presence of artifacts actually distorts the mixed-coupling plane. This implies that a separation…
A comprehensive analysis of the Symanzik improved anisotropic three-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory in the Hamiltonian limit is made. Monte Carlo techniques are used to obtain numerical results for the static potential, ratio of the…
We calculate the third coefficient of the lattice beta function associated with the Wilson formulation for both gauge fields and fermions. This allows us to evaluate the three-loop correction (linear in $g_0^2$) to the relation between the…
Lattice calculations using the framework of effective field theory have been applied to a wide range few-body and many-body systems. One of the challenges of these calculations is to remove systematic errors arising from the nonzero lattice…
We describe the first steps in the extension of the Symanzik O($a$) improvement program for Wilson-type quark actions to anisotropic lattices, with a temporal lattice spacing smaller than the spatial one. This provides a fully relativistic…
