We present a non-perturbative lattice study of SU(4) gauge theory with two flavors of fermions in the fundamental representation and two in the two-index antisymmetric representation: a theory closely related to a minimal…
In this paper I propose the use of a lattice derivative operator that is equivalent to the ideal SLAC derivative operator in all lattice calculations, but without the prohibitively expensive computational cost of the latter. A pedagogical…
The Microcanonical Fermionic Average method has been used so far in the context of lattice models with phase transitions at finite coupling. To test its applicability to Asymptotically Free theories, we have implemented it in QED$_2$, \it…
The formulation of massless relativistic fermions in lattice gauge theories is hampered by the fundamental problem of species doubling, namely, the rise of spurious fermions modifying the underlying physics. A suitable tailoring of the…
We consider a possible discretization for the gauge-fixed Green-Schwarz (two-dimensional) sigma-model action for the Type IIB superstring and use it for measuring the cusp anomalous dimension of planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM as derived from…
We formulate the physics of two species of non-relativistic hard-core bosons with attractive or repulsive delta function interactions on a space-time lattice in the worldline approach. We show that worm algorithms can efficiently sample the…
Nonzero chemical potential studies with Wilson fermions should avoid the proliferation of flavor-equivalent nucleon states encountered with staggered formulation of fermions. However, conventional wisdom has been that finite baryon density…
We derive an exact representation of the massless Schwinger model on the lattice in terms of dual variables which are configurations of loops, dimers and plaquette occupation numbers. When expressed with the dual variables the partition sum…

The lattice fermion determinants, in a given background gauge field, are evaluated for two different kinds of random lattices and compared to those of naive and wilson fermions in the continuum limit. While the fermion doubling is confirmed…
Susskind's continuous-time fermions, with two flavours, can be latticized using a one-sided time derivative. We are presently investigating the interacting case, where we hope to find the onset at finite $\mu$ at the right place due to the…
In this study, we propose an alternative way to simulate particle suspensions using the lattice Boltzmann method. The main idea is to impose the non-slip boundary condition in the lattice sites located on the particle boundaries. The focus…
We study the two dimensional lattice Thirring model in the presence of a fermion chemical po- tential. Our model is asymptotically free, contains massive fermions that mimic a baryon and light bosons that mimic pions. Hence it is a useful…
We describe a proposal for constructing a lattice theory that we argue may be capable of yielding free Weyl fermions in the continuum limit. The model employs reduced staggered fermions and uses site parity dependent Yukawa interactions of…
