An overview is presented of the experimental talks given at the XXXVIIth Rencontres de Moriond QCD session.
As a non-perturbative and gauge invariant regularization the lattice provides a tool for deeper understanding of the celebrated Yang-Mills theory, QCD and chiral gauge theories. For illustration, I discuss some analytic developments on the…
This writeup follows the presentation at the Symposium, with emphasis on topics and ideas discussed there. It is purposefully informal, not a review of the field, and neither does it include a complete list of references. However, I hope…
A formalism to study light fermions at non-zero chemical potential in the instanton medium is presented. It is then applied to investigate chiral symmetry restoration and diquark condensation at finite baryon density.
This is the completion of an exploratory study of Compact lattice Quantum Electrodynamics with a weak four-fermi interaction and four species of massless fermions. In this formulation of Quantum Electrodynamics massless fermions can be…
This paper presents a formulation of lattice fermions applicable to all quark masses, large and small. We incorporate interactions from previous light-fermion and heavy-fermion methods, and thus ensure a smooth connection to these limiting…
These lectures provide an introduction to lattice methods for nonperturbative studies of Quantum Chromodynamics. Lecture 1 (Ch. 2): Basic techniques for QCD and results for hadron spectroscopy using the simplest discretizations; lecture 2…
I review the physics of lattice fermions obeying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. I describe their relation to domain wall fermions. I give a description of methodology for performing numerical simulations with overlap fermions. This is a…
We construct a lattice theory describing a system of interacting nonrelativistic spin s=1/2 fermions at nonzero chemical potential. The theory is applicable whenever the interparticle separation is large compared to the range of the…
The quasiclassical theory of massless chiral fermions is considered. The effective action is derived using time-dependent variational principle which provides a clear interpretation of relevant canonical variables. As a result their…
A recent proposal by Kaplan for a chiral gauge theory on the lattice is tested with background gauge fields. The spectrum of the finite lattice Hamiltonian is calculated and the existence of a chiral fermion is demonstrated. Lattice…
I discuss the constraints on the lattice spacing, a, the quark masses, m, the box size, L, and particularly the residual mass, m_res, such that one can successfully calculate phenomenologically interesting quantities using Domain Wall…
Chiral fermions resisted being put on the lattice for twenty years. This raised the suspicion that asymptotically free chiral gauge theories were not renormalizable outside perturbation theory and therefore could not be mathematically…
A cluster algorithm is constructed and applied to study the chiral limit of the strongly coupled lattice Schwinger model involving staggered fermions. The algorithm is based on a novel loop representation of the model. Finite size scaling…
These lecture notes contain an elementary introduction to lattice QCD at nonzero chemical potential. Topics discussed include chemical potential in the continuum and on the lattice; the sign, overlap and Silver Blaze problems; the phase…

We discuss detailed simulations of the non compact abelian model coupled to light fermions, using a method previously developed that includes the effects of the fermionic interactions in an effective action. The approximations involved are…
If we construct a lattice fermion formulation, there are a number of goals to be considered: doubling should be avoided; even at finite lattice spacing, we want to represent chiral symmetry in a sound way; and we are seeking a good scaling…
