We are entering an era where a number of large-scale lattice simulations of four-dimensional supersymmetric theories are under way. Moreover, proposals for how to approach such studies continue to progress. One particular line of research…
We expand the gauge field in terms of a suitably constructed complete set of Bloch wave functions, each labeled by a band designation $\,n\,$ and a wave number $\,\vec K\,$ restricted to the Brillouin zone. A noncompact formulation of…
We obtain lattice models whose continuum limits correspond to $N=2$ superconformal coset models. This is done by taking the well known vertex model whose continuum limit is the $G \times G/G$ conformal field theory, and twisting the…
In this work a lattice formulation of a supersymmetric theory is proposed and tested that preserves the complete supersymmetry on the lattice. The results of a one-dimensional nonperturbative simulation show the realization of the full…
Recently, new theoretical ideas have allowed the construction of lattice actions which are explicitly invariant under one or more supersymmetries. These theories are local and free of doublers and in the case of Yang-Mills theories also…
A variety of lattice discretisations of continuum actions has been considered, usually requiring the correct classical continuum limit. Here we discuss "weird" lattice formulations without that property, namely lattice actions that are…
We perform lattice simulations of two-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with sixteen supercharges with a lattice action which has two exact supercharges (Sugino lattice action). According to the gauge/gravity duality, the theory…
We present a procedure to improve the lattice definition of $\mathcal N = 4$ supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory. The lattice construction necessarily involves U(1) flat directions, and we show how these can be lifted without violating the…
We perform a pilot study of the perturbative renormalization of a Supersymmetric gauge theory with matter fields on the lattice. As a specific example, we consider Supersymmetric ${\cal N}{=}1$ QCD (SQCD). We study the self-energies of all…
We discuss the connection between supersymmetric field theories and topological field theories and show how this connection may be used to construct local lattice field theories which maintain an exact supersymmetry. It is shown how metric…
We construct and discuss a 6D supersymmetric gauge theory involving four derivatives in the action. The theory involves a dimensionless coupling constant and is renormalizable. At the tree level, it enjoys N = (1,0) superconformal symmetry,…
A lattice formulation of a three dimensional super Yang-Mills model with a twisted N=4 supersymmetry is proposed. The extended supersymmetry algebra of all eight supercharges is fully and exactly realized on the lattice with a modified…
Anomalies are a powerful way to gain insight into possible lattice regularizations of a quantum field theory. In this work, we argue that the continuum anomaly for a given symmetry can be matched by a manifestly-symmetric, local, lattice…
We present a new exact renormalization approach for quantum lattice models leading to long-range interactions. The renormalization scheme is based on wavelets with an infinite support in such a way that the excitation spectrum at the fixed…
We construct a lattice formulation of a mass-deformed two-dimensional N=(8,8) super Yang-Mills theory with preserving two supercharges exactly. Gauge fields are represented by compact unitary link variables, and the exact supercharges on…
I review the strategies which have been developped in recent years to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice field theories. Although the techniques are general, the focus will be on applications to lattice QCD. I…
Supersymmetry on the lattice is explicitly broken by the gluino mass and lattice artifacts. However, it can be restored in the continuum limit by fine tuning the parameters based on the renormalized Ward identities. On the renormalization…
The study of nonlinear phenomena in systems with many degrees of freedom often relies on complex numerical simulations. In trying to model realistic situations, these systems may be coupled to an external environment which drives their…
As a nonperturbative check on the Q-exact lattice formulation, we demonstrate that the continuum R-symmetries are recovered. We locate the critical domain of the lattice theory. Aspects of the continuum nonrenormalization theorems are found…
Lattice regularizations are pivotal in the non-perturbative quantization of gauge field theories. Wilson's proposal to employ group-valued link fields simplifies the regularization of gauge fields in principal fiber bundles, preserving…
