This talk summarizes recent progress in lattice QCD for dense quark matter. The emphasis is on the insights obtained from analytical results derived within chiral perturbation theory.
We investigate the dynamics of three-dimensional lattice gauge theories by means of an external Abelian magnetic field. For the SU(2) lattice gauge theory we find evidence of the unstable modes.
This paper is for the proceedings of the Chen-Chow Conference held in Tianjin, China in October 2000. The goal of the paper is to produce and survey evidence for a connection between Chen's work on iterated integrals on the one hand, and…
This note is an expansion of three lectures given at the workshop "Topology, Complex Analysis and Arithmetic of Hyperbolic Spaces" held at Kyoto University in December of 2006 and will appear in the proceedings for this workshop.
The theoretical explanation for the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, in which electrons' passage through a chiral system depends on their spin and the handedness of the system, remains vague. Although most experimental work was…
We present a model independent study of the chiral condensate evolution in a hadronic gas, in terms of temperature and baryon chemical potential. The meson-meson interactions are described within Chiral Perturbation Theory and the…
We review the status of the domain wall fermion approach to construct chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In this model an extra, fifth dimension is added and our 4-dimensional world lives on a domainwall induced by a soliton shaped mass…
The status of chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector is illustrated with several topical examples. The longtime discrepancy between theory and experiment for the charged pion polarizabilities has now been resolved in favour of the…
We construct a model of a chiral transition using the well known large N transition in two dimensional U(N) lattice gauge theory. Restricting the model to a single plaquette, we introduce Grassmann variables on the corners of the plaquette…
The physics of pions within a finite volume is explored using lattice regularized chiral perturbation theory. This regularization scheme permits a straightforward computational approach to be used in place of analytical continuum…
We consider low-energy nucleons at next-to-next-to-leading order in lattice chiral effective field theory. Three-body interactions first appear at this order, and we discuss several methods for determining three-body interaction…
I review recent lattice results on strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, with emphasis on the finite-temperature QCD transition at $\mu_B=0$, its approach toward the chiral limit and the fate of the $U_A(1)$ anomaly, as well…
This article reviews some recent developments in the analysis of anomalous triple and quartic vector boson couplings that have been discussed at the UK Phenomenology Workshop on Collider Physics 1999 in Durham.
This text grew out of my lecture notes for a 4-hours minicourse delivered on October 17 \& 19, 2016 during the research school "Applications of Ergodic Theory in Number Theory" -- an activity related to the Jean-Molet Chair project of…
We continue our earlier study of the phase structure of a SU(2) gauge theory whose action contains additional chirally invariant four fermion interactions. Our lattice theory uses a reduced staggered fermion formalism to generate two Dirac…
The vacuum dynamics of SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theories is studied by means of a gauge-invariant effective action defined using the lattice Schr\"odinger functional at finite temperature. In the case of the SU(3) gauge theory…
I present the recent developments in a specific sub-field of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. This sub-field pertains to the use of infinitely many fermi fields to describe a single chiral field. In this approach, both anomalous and…
Several lattice collaborations performing simulations with 2+1 light dynamical quarks have experienced difficulties in fitting their data with standard Nf=3 chiral expansions at next-to-leading order, yielding low values of the quark…
We provide a critical overview of the theory of the chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, i.e., phenomena in which the chirality of molecular species imparts significant spin selectivity to various electron processes. Based on…
Over the last few years lattice techniques have been used to investigate candidate theories of new physics beyond the Standard Model. This review gives a survey of results from these studies. Most of these investigations have been of…
