We study the soft breaking of N=2 self-dual gauge theories down to N=0 by promoting the coupling constant and hypermultiplet masses to spurions, and we analyze the microscopic duality symmetry in the resulting models. Explicit formulae are…
We study the phase structure of SU(2) gauge-Higgs model in two dimensions using lattice simulations. We show the result for the plaquette expectation value, static potential, and W propagator. Our results suggest that a confinement-like…
A variational method is used to analyse compact U(1) gauge theory in 2+1-dimensions at finite temperature, T, weak coupling, g and where the fundamental magnetic monopoles have magnetic charge 2\pi n/g. The theory undergoes a critical…
Confinement is an intriguing phenomenon prevalent in condensed matter and high-energy physics. Exploring its effect on the far-from-equilibrium criticality of quantum many-body systems is of great interest both from a fundamental and…
We present ongoing investigations of the first-order confinement transition of a composite dark matter model, to predict the resulting spectrum of gravitational waves. To avoid long autocorrelations at the first-order transition, we employ…
By carrying out character expansion and integration over all link variables, the partition function of 3-dimensional pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory is rewritten in terms of 6j symbols. The result is Ponzano-Regge model of 3-dimensional…
The masses of the lowest-lying states in the meson and in the gluonic sector of an SU(2) gauge theory with two Dirac flavors in the adjoint representation are measured on the lattice at a fixed value of the lattice coupling $\beta = 4/g_0^2…
We present research on radiative decays of vector ($J^{PC}=1^{--}$) to pseudoscalar ($J^{PC}=0^{-+}$) particles ($u$, $d$, $s$, $c$, $b$, $t$ quark system) using broken symmetry techniques in the infinite momentum frame and equal time…
The theory of confinement and deconfinement is discussed as based on the properties of the QCD vacuum. The latter are described by field correlators of colour-electric and colour-magnetic fields in the vacuum, which can be calculated…
Confinement is an ubiquitous phenomenon when matter couples to gauge fields, which manifests itself in a linear string potential between two static charges. Although gauge fields can be integrated out in one dimension, they can mediate…
We study the duality cascade of softly broken supersymmetric theories. We investigate the renormalization group (RG) flow of SUSY breaking terms as well as supersymmetric couplings. It is found that the magnitudes of SUSY breaking terms are…
A three-dimensional effective theory of the finite-temperature SU(5)+adjoint Higgs model is constructed using the method of dimensional reduction. The resulting theory can be used for computer simulations of the GUT phase transition of the…
We study decimation procedures and effective (improved) actions in the framework of Monte Carlo Renormalization Group (MCRG). Particular attention is paid to matching the form of the effective action to the decimation procedure parameters.…
By using the standard perturbation theory we study the mass as well as $\theta$ parameter dependence of the Seiberg-Witten theory with $SU(2)$ gauge group, supplemented with a $N=1$ supersymmetric as well as a smaller nonsupersymmetric…
We present results for the static potential in the confinement phase of the SU(2) Higgs model on the lattice. Introducing a suitable matrix correlation function we observe string breaking at a distance r_b ~ 1.8 r_0, where the length scale…
The role of monopoles in the deconfinement transition is discussed in the framework of abelian projection in the maximally abelian gauge in $T\neq0$ $SU(2)$ QCD. Only one (or a few near $\beta_c$) long connected monopole loop exists…
After a brief recount of small and large gauge transformations and the nature of observables, we discuss superselection sectors in gauge theories. There are an infinity of them, classified by large gauge transformations. Gauge theory…
Gluodynamics in 3D spacetime with one spatial direction compactified into a circle of length $L$ is studied. The confinement order parameters, such as the Polyakov loops, are analyzed in both the limits $L \to 0$ and $L \to \infty$. In the…
We discuss the phase diagnostics used in our finite-temperature study of an SU(4) gauge theory with dynamical fermions in both the fundamental and two-index antisymmetric representations. Beyond the usual Polyakov loop diagnostics of…
We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory with two flavors of Wilson fermion at non-zero chemical potential mu and low temperature on a 8^3x16 system. We identify three regimes along the mu-axis. For mu<~m_pi/2 the system remains in the vacuum…
