The Abelian dominance for the string tension was shown for the fundamental sources in MA gauge in the lattice simulations. For higher representations, however, it is also known that the naive "Abelian" Wilson loop, which is defined by using…
Abelian duality on the closed three-dimensional Riemannian manifold M is discussed. Partition functions for the ordinary U(1) gauge theory and a circle-valued scalar field theory on M are explicitly calculated and compared. It is shown that…
In this paper we study the topological susceptibility of two-dimensional $U(N)$ gauge theories. We provide explicit expressions for the partition function and the topological susceptibility at finite lattice spacing and finite volume. We…
For many quantum systems of interest, the classical computational cost of simulating their time evolution scales exponentially in the system size. At the same time, quantum computers have been shown to allow for simulations of some of these…
The partition function of two dimensional massless staggered fermions interacting with U(N) gauge fields is rewritten in terms of loop variables in the strong coupling limit. We use this representation of the theory to devise a non-local…
Lattice gauge theories are fundamental to our understanding of high-energy physics. Nevertheless, the search for suitable platforms for their quantum simulation has proven difficult. We show that the Abelian Higgs model in 1+1 dimensions is…
The loop gas approach to lattice field theory provides an alternative, geometrical description in terms of fluctuating loops. Statistical ensembles of random loops can be efficiently generated by Monte Carlo simulations using the worm…
A particle-in-cell algorithm is derived with a canonical Poisson structure in the formalism of finite element exterior calculus. The resulting method belongs to the class of gauge-compatible splitting algorithms, which exactly preserve…
We consider the one-loop effective action due to a spinor loop coupled to an abelian vector and axial vector field background. After rewriting this effective action in terms of an auxiliary non-abelian gauge connection, we use the De Witt…
We derive the improved estimators for general interactions and employ these for the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method. Using a worm algorithm we show how measuring higher-ordered correlators leads to an improved high-frequency…
We introduce a generalized Maximum Abelian Gauge (MAG). We work with this new gauge on 12^4 lattices for beta=5.7,5.8 and 16^4 lattices for beta=5.9,6.0. We also introduce a form of abelian projection related to the generalized MAG. We…
Using techniques from hopping expansion we identically map the lattice Schwinger model with Wilson fermions to a model of oriented loops on the lattice. This is done by first computing the explicit form of the fermion determinant in the…
We propose a new strategy to evaluate the partition function of lattice QCD with Wilson gauge action coupled to staggered fermions, based on a strong coupling expansion in the inverse bare gauge coupling $\beta= 2N/g^{2}$. Our method makes…
We describe an algebraic algorithm which allows to express every one-loop lattice integral with gluon or Wilson-fermion propagators in terms of a small number of basic constants which can be computed with arbitrary high precision. Although…
Perturbative expansions of several small Wilson loops are computed through next-to-next-to-leading order in unquenched lattice QCD, from Monte Carlo simulations at weak couplings. This approach provides a much simpler alternative to…
Quantum simulations of many-body systems offer novel methods for probing the dynamics of the Standard Model and its constituent gauge theories. Extracting low-energy predictions from such simulations rely on formulating…
We demonstrate how correlation functions for non-diagonal operators can be measured with the loop-cluster algorithm for quantum spin models. We introduce the U(1) quantum link model and present the construction of a cluster algorithm for…
We propose an efficient quantum algorithm for simulating the dynamics of general Hamiltonian systems. Our technique is based on a power series expansion of the time-evolution operator in its off-diagonal terms. The expansion decouples the…
The U(1) gauge-Higgs model with two flavors of opposite charge and a chemical potential is mapped exactly to a dual representation where matter fields correspond to loops of flux and the gauge fields are represented by surfaces. The complex…
We present results for Wilson loops in strongly coupled gauge theories. The loops may be taken around an arbitrarily shaped contour and in any field theory with a dual IIB geometry of the form M x S^5. No assumptions about supersymmetry are…
