For lattice models with compact field integration (nonlinear sigma models over compact manifolds and gauge theories with compact groups) and satisfying some discrete symmetry, the change of sign of the bare coupling g_0^2 at zero results in…
We present high-accuracy calculations of the density of states using multicanonical methods for lattice gauge theory with a compact gauge group U(1) on 4^4, 6^4 and 8^4 lattices. We show that the results are consistent with weak and strong…
We consider Wilson's SU(N) lattice gauge theory (without fermions) at negative values of beta= 2N/g^2 and for N=2 or 3. We show that in the limit beta -> -infinity, the path integral is dominated by configurations where links variables are…
We write the partition function for a lattice gauge theory, with compact gauge group, exactly in terms of unconstrained variables and show that, in the mean field approximation, the dynamics of pure gauge theories, invariant under compact,…
We study the location of the partition function zeros in the complex beta plane (Fisher's Zeros) for SU(2) lattice gauge theory on L^4 lattices. We discuss recent attempts to locate complex zeros for L=4 and 6. We compare results obtained…
We study the gauge anomaly ${\cal A}$ defined on a 4-dimensional infinite lattice while keeping the lattice spacing finite. We assume that (I) ${\cal A}$ depends smoothly and locally on the gauge potential, (II) ${\cal A}$ reproduces the…
The issue of local gauge invariance in the simplicial lattice formulation of gravity is examined. We exhibit explicitly, both in the weak field expansion about flat space, and subsequently for arbitrarily triangulated background manifolds,…
We discuss apparent paradoxes regarding the location of the zeros of the partition function in the complex $\beta$ plane (Fisher's zeros) of a pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory in 4 dimensions. We propose a new criterion to draw the region of…
We study the zeros of the partition function in the complex beta plane (Fisher's zeros) in SU(2) and SU(3) gluodynamics. We discuss their effects on the asymptotic behavior of the perturbative series for the average plaquette. We present…
A class of lattice gauge theories is presented which exhibits novel topological properties. The construction is in terms of compact Wilson variables defined on a simplicial complex which models a four dimensional manifold with boundary. The…
Fisher zeros are the zeros of the partition function in the complex beta=2N_c/g^2 plane. When they pinch the real axis, finite size scaling allows one to distinguish between first and second order transition and to estimate exponents. On…
We extend the renormalization group transformation based on the two-lattice matching to the complex inverse temperature plane for Dyson's hierarchical Ising model. We consider values of the dimensional parameter above, below and exactly at…
Lattice gauge theories are considered with a partial axial gauge fixing along one direction only. This leaves a residual gauge symmetry that is still local in three directions but now global in one. It is found that this $N^{d-1}$ fold…
We discuss the weak coupling expansion of a one plaquette SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We show that the conventional perturbative series for the partition function has a zero radius of convergence and is asymptotic. The average plaquette is…
We calculate the properties of a one-dimensional $Z_2$ lattice gauge theory in different Gauss law sectors, corresponding to different configurations of static charges set by the orientations of the gauge spins. Importantly, in quantum…
The implementation of gauge theories on a four-dimensional anisotropic lattice with two distinct lattice spacings is discussed, with special attention to the case where two axes are finely and two axes are coarsely discretized. Feynman…
Following fresh attempts to resolve the problem of the energy density of the vacuum, we reconsider the case where the cosmological constant is derived from a higher-dimensional version of general relativity, and interpret the…
We present a general, rigorous theory of partition function zeros for lattice spin models depending on one complex parameter. First, we formulate a set of natural assumptions which are verified for a large class of spin models in a…
Some interesting nonperturbative properties of the strongly coupled 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theories, both without and with matter fields, are pointed out. We demonstrate that the pure gauge theory has a non-Gaussian fixed point with…
We show that the flat chaotic analytic zero points (i.e. zeroes of a random entire function whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian random variables, and the variance of the k-th coefficient is 1/k!) can be…
