Elementary algebraic constraints on the form of an autocorrelation function C(tw+t,tw)=<A(tw+t)A(tw)> rule out some two-time scalings found in the literature as possible long-time asymptotic forms. The same argument leads to the realization…

The three dimensional U(1) Lattice Gauge, in the weak coupling limit, is dual to a Discrete Gaussian model. We investigate this dual model and use it to calculate properties of the U(1) theory. We find that, because of the nature of the…

We construct a few parameter approximate fixed point action for SU(2) pure gauge theory and subject it to scaling tests, via Monte Carlo simulation. We measure the critical coupling for deconfinement for lattices of temporal extent $N_t=2$,…

We measure the topological charge and its fluctuation for the gauge configurations generated by the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations using 2+1 flavors of domain-wall fermions on the 16^3 x 32 lattice (L \simeq 2 fm) with length 16 in the fifth…

We study the consequences of time variations in the scale of grand unification, $M_U$, when the Planck scale and the value of the unified coupling at the Planck scale are held fixed. We show that the relation between the variations of the…

A common problem in lattice QCD simulations on the torus is the extremely long autocorrelation time of the topological charge, when one approaches the continuum limit. The reason is the suppressed tunneling between topological sectors. The…

We measure the topological charge of the gauge configurations generated by lattice simulations of 2 flavors QCD on a $ 16^3 \times 32 $ lattice, with Optimal Domain-Wall Fermion (ODWF) at $ N_s = 16 $ and plaquette gauge action at $ \beta =…

We investigate the phase coherence time of weakly interacting tunneling systems (TSs). We show that all neighbors of a given TS form together with the TS of interest an entangled cluster as long as the linewidth of the excitation of the…

We studied formation of charge density wave between valleys in a system with a double-well-like dispersive valence band relevant for the rhombohedral graphene trilayer. In a regime with 2 Fermi surfaces, electron- and hole-like: one of…

We present configuration-space estimators for the auto- and cross-covariance of two- and three-point correlation functions (2PCF and 3PCF) in general survey geometries. These are derived in the Gaussian limit (setting higher-order…

The topological susceptibility is an important quantity in QCD, which can be computed using lattice methods. However, at a fine lattice spacing, or when using high quality chirally symmetric quarks, algorithms which proceed in small update…

At fine lattice spacings, Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations of QCD and other gauge theories with or without fermions are plagued by slow modes that give rise to large autocorrelation times. This can lead to simulation runs that are…

For inversion-symmetric topological insulators and superconductors characterized by ${\mathbb Z}_{2}$ topological invariants, two scaling schemes are proposed to judge topological phase transitions driven by an energy parameter. The scaling…

Topological phases of matter in (2+1) dimensions are commonly equipped with global symmetries, such as electric-magnetic duality in gauge theories and bilayer symmetry in fractional quantum Hall states. Gauging these symmetries into local…

We study a class of self-adjoint operators defined on the direct sum of two Hilbert spaces: a finite dimensional one called sometimes a ``small subsystem'' and an infinite dimensional one -- a ``reservoir''. The operator, which we call a…

We consider the dependence of the recently proposed action/complexity duality conjecture on time and on the underlying topology of the bulk spacetime. For the former, we compute the dependence of the CFT complexity on a boundary temporal…

We study thermal equilibrium of classical pointlike counterions confined between symmetrically charged walls at distance $d$. At very large couplings when the counterion system is in its crystal phase, a harmonic expansion of particle…

There are three key factors of a system of coupled oscillators that characterize the interaction among them: coupling (how to affect), delay (when to affect) and topology (whom to affect). For each of them, the existing work has mainly…

We discuss a new method to determine the low-energy couplings of the $\Delta S=1$ weak Hamiltonian in the $\epsilon$-regime. It relies on a matching of the topological poles in $1/m^2$ of three-point functions of two pseudoscalar densities…

We present precision lattice calculations of the pseudoscalar decay constants of the charmed sector as well as determinations of the bottom quark mass and its ratio to the charm quark mass. We employ Nf=2+1+1 dynamical quark gauge…
