We consider a lattice-inspired random matrix model for the QCD chiral phase transition at finite chemical potential. Useful features of the usual RMM for QCD at finite chemical potential are reobtained, some being brought closer to their…
SU(2) gauge theory is investigated with a lattice action which is insensitive to small perturbations of the lattice gauge fields. Bare perturbation theory can not be defined for such actions at all. We compare non-perturbative continuum…
We review a number of topics related to block variable renormalisation group transformations of quantum fields on the lattice, and to the emerging perfect lattice actions. We first illustrate this procedure by considering scalar fields.…
The Schr\"odinger Functional (quantum/lattice field theory with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is a powerful tool in the non-perturbative improvement and for the study of other aspects of lattice QCD. Here we adapt it to improved gluon and…
We consider diffusion of particles on a lattice in the so-called dynamical mean-field regime (memory effects are neglected). Interactions are local, that is, only among particles at the same lattice site. It is shown that a statistical…
In this paper we study Zimmer's conjecture for $C^1$ actions of lattice subgroup of a higher-rank simple Lie group with finite center on compact manifolds. We show that when the rank of an uniform lattice is larger than the dimension of the…
We consider one component lattice gases with a local dynamics and a stationary product Bernoulli measure. We give upper and lower bounds on the diffusivity at an equilibrium point depending on the dimension and the local behavior of the…
We present a construction of an effective Yang-Mills action for QCD, from the expansion of the fermionic determinant in terms of powers of the chemical potential at high temperature, for the case of massless quarks. We analyze this…
Lattice QCD at finite chemical potential is difficult due to the sign problem. We use stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to study this issue. First results for QCD in the hopping expansion are encouraging. U(1) and SU(3)…
The quantum effective action may be used to invert information from phenomena, either measured or ideal, to the microscopic Lagrangian. As an example of this procedure the lattice composition of a solid can be determined in principle from…
We describe a systematic approach to generating approximate actions for the lattice simulation of QCD. Three different tuning conditions are defined to match approximate with true actions, and it is shown that these three conditions become…
The masses and dispersions of light hadrons are calculated in lattice QCD using an order a^2 tadpole-improved gluon action and the Dchi34 action, an order a^2 tadpole-improved next-nearest-neighbor fermion action originally proposed by…
The familiar adjunction between ordered sets and completely distributive lattices can be extended to generalised metric spaces, that is, categories enriched over a quantale (a lattice of "truth values"), via an appropriate distributive law…
We extend the SU(3) (Polyakov) Nambu Jona-Lasinio in two ways: We introduce the next to leading order contribution (in $N_c$) in the partition function. This contribution contains explicit mesonic terms. We introduce a coupling between the…
We clarify the relation between the improvement of dispersion relations in the fermion sector of lattice regularized QCD and the improvement of bulk thermodynamic observables. We show that in the infinite temperature limit the cut-off…
We derive an improved lattice Hamiltonian for pure gauge theory, coupling arbitrarily distant links in the kinetic term. The level of improvement achieved is examined in variational calculations of the SU(2) specific heat in 2+1 dimensions.
Lattice actions and topological charges that are classically and quantum mechanically perfect (i.e. free of lattice artifacts) are constructed analytically for the quantum rotor. It is demonstrated that the Manton action is classically…
Recently a formulation of overlap fermions at finite density based on an analytic continuation of the sign function was proposed. We study this proposal by analyzing the energy and number densities for free fermions as a function of the…
A block-spin transformation on the dual lattice leads us to an almost perfect lattice action for monopoles and strings in QCD. The perfect operator for a static quark potential is fixed when we compare the above action with the perfect…
We apply the relative weights method to extract an effective Polyakov line action, at finite chemical potential, from an underlying $SU(3)$ lattice gauge theory with dynamical fermions. The center-symmetry breaking terms in the effective…
