We study the topological charge distribution of the SU(3) Yang--Mills theory with high precision in order to be able to detect deviations from Gaussianity. The computation is carried out on the lattice with high statistics Monte Carlo…

Using Monte Carlo simulations with overrelaxation, we have equilibrated lattices up to $\beta=2.928$, size $60^4$, for pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action. We calculate topological charges with the standard cooling method…

In two dimensions, $U(N_c)$ gauge theories exhibit a non-trivial topological structure, while $SU(N_c)$ theories are topologically trivial. Hence, for $G = U(N_c)$ the phase space is divided into topological sectors, characterized by a…

The self-gravitating thermal gas (non-relativistic particles of mass m at temperature T) is exactly equivalent to a field theory with a single scalar field phi(x) and exponential self-interaction. We build up perturbation theory around a…

We calculate the topological susceptibility at 2.5 Tc and 4.1 Tc in SU(3) pure Yang-Mills theory. We define topology with the help of gradient flow and we largely overcome the problem of poor statistics at high temperatures by applying a…

We apply a machine learning technique for identifying the topological charge of quantum gauge configurations in four-dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. The topological charge density measured on the original and smoothed gauge…

We calculate perturbative renormalization properties of the topological charge, using the standard lattice discretization given by a product of twisted plaquettes. We use the overlap and clover action for fermions, and the Symanzik improved…

We apply the Symanzik improvement programme to the 4+1-dimensional local re-formulation of the gradient flow in pure $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theories. We show that the classical nature of the flow equation allows to eliminate all cutoff…

We introduce the scalar function $C(v)=\pi(1-v^2/c^2)$ as a conformal factor associated, within the model, with longitudinal Lorentz contraction. Extending $C(v)$ to a one-parameter family $C(v,\tau)$, we construct a variational scalar…

We present the scale-setting function and the equation of state of the pure SU(2) gauge theory using the gradient flow method. We propose a reference scale t0 for the SU(2) gauge theory satisfying $t^2\langle E \rangle|_{t=t_0} = 0.1$. This…

Motivated by the connection between gauge field topology and the axial anomaly in fermion currents, I use the fourth power of the naive Dirac operator to define a local lattice measure of topological charge. For smooth gauge fields this…

The heavy quark diffusion coefficient is encoded in the spectral functions of the chromoelectric and the chromomagnetic correlators that are calculable on the lattice. We study the chromoelectric and the chromomagnetic correlator in the…

We review the gradient flow for gauge and fermion fields and its applications to lattice gauge theory computations. Using specific examples, we discuss the interplay between perturbative and non-perturbative calculations in the context of…

In this dissertation, we investigate the approach of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory to its continuum limit using the deconfinement temperature, six gradient scales, and six cooling scales. We find that cooling scales exhibit similarly good…

Global topological charge decorrelates very slowly or even freezes in fine lattice simulations. On the other hand, its local fluctuations are expected to survive and lead to the correct physical results as long as the volume is large…

We study the equation of state of pure SU($2$) gauge theory using Monte Carlo simulations. The scale-setting of lattice parameters has been carried by using the gradient flow. We propose a reference scale $t_0$ for the SU($2$) gauge theory…

As lattice gauge theories with non-trivial topological features are driven towards the continuum limit, standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations suffer for topological freezing, i.e., a dramatic growth of autocorrelations in…

We study a systematic improvement of perturbation theory for gauge fields on the lattice [hep-lat/0606001]; the improvement entails resumming, to all orders in the coupling constant, a dominant subclass of tadpole diagrams. This method,…

We calculate the step scaling function, the lattice analog of the renormalization group $\beta$-function, for an SU(3) gauge theory with twelve flavors. The gauge coupling of this system runs very slowly, which is reflected in a small step…

We study the sensitivity of the gradient flow coupling to sectors of different topological charge and its implications in practical situations. Furthermore, we investigate an alternative definition of the running coupling that is expected…
