Perturbative corrections to N=1/2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory at one-loop order are studied. It is shown that whereas the quantum corrections to N=1 sector of the theory are not affected by the C-deformation, the non(anti)commutativity…

We determine O($a$) boundary improvement coefficients up to 1-loop level for the Schr\"odinger Functional coupling with improved gauge actions including plaquette and rectangle loops. These coefficients are required to implement 1-loop…
We compute the fixed point action of a properly defined renormalization group transformation for the Schwinger model through an expansion in the gauge field. It is local, with couplings exponentially suppressed with the distance. We check…
We summarize our recent work on the construction and properties of fixed point (FP) actions for lattice $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory. These actions have scale invariant instanton solutions and their spectrum is exact through 1--loop, i.e. in…
We demonstrate that a direct approach to improving Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory is possible. Our approach is to correct errors in the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian by incorporating additional gauge invariant terms. The coefficients of…
