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 investigate the monopole-instanton correlation in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a renormalisation group inspired smoothing technique. We look at the properties of monopole clusters and their correlation with instantons. Since the…
We study the dual Wilson loop and the inter-monopole potential(the static potential between the color magnetic monopoles) in the maximally abelian gauge to clarify the dual Higgs mechanism induced by monopole condensation. There is no…
We construct a lattice theory with one exact supersymmetry which consists of fields transforming in both the adjoint and fundamental representations of a U(Nc) gauge group. In addition to gluons and gluinos, the theory contains Nf flavors…
The effective action for the membrane dynamics on the background geometry of the $N$-sector DLCQ $M$ theory compactified on a two-torus is computed via supergravity. We compare it to the effective action obtained from the matrix theory,…
We have calculated the $q\bar q$ potential over a wide range of lattice separations on a $48^3\cdot56$ lattice at $\beta = 2.85$. We are able to investigate both long-range and (by correcting for the effects of lack of rotational…
The Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture for finite temperature 4d SU(2) lattice gauge theory is confirmed by observing matching of block spin effective actions of the gauge model with those of the 3d Ising model. The effective action for the gauge…
By numerical calculations we show that the abelian monopole currents are locally correlated with the density of SU(2) lattice action. This fact is established for the maximal abelian projection. Thus, in the maximal abelian projection the…
Expressions for the potentials appearing in the nonrelativistic effective field theory description of doubly heavy baryons are known in terms of operator insertions in the Wilson loop. However, their evaluation requires nonperturbative…
3D Georgi-Glashow model is studied on the lattice in the London limit in an infrared but an intermediate region before the screening appears. Abelian and instanton dominances are observed after abelian projections in a unitary gauge and…
We numerically investigate the transition of the static quark-antiquark string into a static-light meson-antimeson system. Improving noise reduction techniques, we are able to resolve the signature of string breaking dynamics for Nf=2…
A brief review is given of the sign problem in finite density lattice QCD and various attempts to overcome it. To date there is still no solution to this problem which would work for realistic QCD. The main focus then is on the deconfined…
The hypothesis is analysed that the monopoles condensing in QCD vacuum to make it a dual superconductor are classical solutions of the equations of motion.
Based on the dual-superconductor picture, we study the confinement physics in QCD in terms of the monopole in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge using the SU(2) lattice QCD. In the MA gauge, the off-diagonal gluon component is forced to be…
SU(3) lattice gauge theory is studied by means of an improved action where a $2 \times 2$ Wilson loop is supplemented to the standard plaquette term. By contrast to earlier studies using a tree level improvement, the prefactor of the $2…
We discuss the general issues and ambiguities involved in matching the exact results for the low energy effective action of scale invariant N=2 supersymmetric QCD to those obtained by instanton methods. We resolve the reported disagreements…
Effective field theories provide a formalism for categorizing low-energy effects of a high-energy fundamental theory in terms of the low-energy degrees of freedom. This process has been well established in mapping the fundamental theory of…
The relevance of PT symmetry to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the gauge theory of the strong interactions, is explored in the context of finite temperature and density. Two significant problems in QCD are studied: the sign problem of…
We analyze the interplay of topological objects in four-dimensional QCD on the lattice. The distributions of color magnetic monopoles in the maximum abelian gauge are computed around instantons in both pure and full QCD. We find an enhanced…
