The quantum simulation of topological phases in (2+1)D quantum electrodynamics with Wilson fermions provides a promising route toward realizing topological phenomena in near-term lattice experiments. We show that the commonly used…

We study the gauge-fixing approach to the construction of lattice chiral gauge theories in one-loop weak-coupling perturbation theory. We show how infrared properties of the gauge degrees of freedom determine the nature of the continuous…

We use lattice topology as a laboratory to compare the Wilson action (WA) with the Symanzik-Weisz (SW) action constructed from a combination of (1x1) and (1x2) Wilson loops, and the estimate of the renormalization trajectory (RT) from a…

We investigate the topological properties of $N_f = 2+1$ QCD with physical quark masses, both at zero and finite temperature. We adopt stout improved staggered fermions and explore a range of lattice spacings $a \sim 0.05 - 0.12$ fm. At…

Trapped and cooled gases of alkali atoms can be manipulated to exhibit a variety of interesting phenomena. For example, dilute gases of fermionic atoms, in 2 hyperfine states, can be cooled to temperatures where they become superfluid. An…

We consider a spin-1/2 fermionic ladder with spin-orbit coupling and a perpendicular magnetic field, which shares important similarities with topological superconducting wires. We fully characterize the symmetry-protected topological phase…

Recent efforts in lattice evaluation of the topological susceptibility had shown that at high temperatures it is given by well-separated instantons (even in QCD with light fermions, where those are highly suppressed). Recent development of…

We examine the onset of classical topological order in a nearest-neighbor kagome ice model. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we characterize the topological sectors of the groundstate using a non-local cut measure which circumscribes the…

Random-lattice fermions have been shown to be free of the doubling problem if there are no interactions or interactions of a non-gauge nature. However, gauge interactions impose stringent constraints as expressed by the Ward-Takahashi…

Topological charge pumping represents an important quantum phenomenon that shows the fundamental connection to the topological properties of dynamical systems. Here, we introduce a pumping process in a spin-dependent double-well optical…

We construct a non-trivial $U(1)/\mathbb{Z}_q$ principal bundle on~$T^4$ from the compact $U(1)$ lattice gauge field by generalizing L\"uscher's constriction so that the cocycle condition contains $\mathbb{Z}_q$ elements (the 't~Hooft…

As fermions are added to a lattice gauge theory, one is driven to stronger bare coupling in order to maintain the same renormalized coupling. Stronger bare couplings are usually associated with larger gauge fluctuations, leading to larger…

On a lattice, we construct an overlap Dirac operator which describes the propagation of a Dirac fermion in external gravity. The local Lorentz symmetry is manifestly realized as a lattice gauge symmetry, while the general coordinate…

We describe the properties of instantons in lattice gauge theory when the action is a fixed point action of some renormalization group transformation. We present a theoretically consistent method for measuring topological charge using an…

We study topological aspects of a Dirac fermion coupled with a Higgs field associated with the lattice model introduced by Benalcazar et al. which shows the topological quadrupole phase. Using the index theorem, we show that the index of…

Confinement in asymptotically free gauge theories is accompanied by the spontaneous breaking of the global flavor symmetry. If a subgroup of the flavor symmetry group is coupled weakly to additional gauge fields, the vacuum state tends to…

We discuss global gauge fixing on the lattice, specifically to the lattice Landau gauge, with the goal of understanding the question of why the process becomes extremely slow for large lattices. We construct an artificial "gauge-fixing"…

The methods of quantum field theory are widely used in condensed matter physics. In particular, the concept of an effective action was proven useful when studying low temperature and long distance behavior of condensed matter systems. Often…

Models for what may lie behind the Standard Model often require non-perturbative calculations in strongly coupled field theory. This creates opportunities for lattice methods, to obtain quantities of phenomenological interest as well as to…

We show that Hall conductance and its non-abelian and higher-dimensional analogs are obstructions to promoting a symmetry of a state to a gauge symmetry. To do this, we define a local Lie algebra over a Grothendieck site as a pre-cosheaf of…
