We survey recent lattice results on QCD topological properties. The behaviour of the topological susceptibility at the deconfining phase transition has been determined. This advance has been made possible by an i) an improvement of the…
Recent lattice measurements of the topological susceptibility of SU(2) gauge theory using improved cooling and inverse-blocking are in disagreement. We use the overlap method, which probes the fermionic sector of the theory directly, to…
We study the critical slowing down towards the continuum limit of lattice QCD simulations with Hybrid Monte Carlo type algorithms. In particular for the squared topological charge we find it to be very severe with an effective dynamical…
We present a novel technique for the determination of the topological susceptibility (related to the variance of the distribution of global topological charge) from lattice gauge theory simulations, based on maximum-likelihood analysis of…
The topological susceptibility is one of the few physical quantities that directly measure the properties of the QCD vacuum. Chiral perturbation theory predicts that in the small quark mass limit the topological susceptibility depends…
The existence of tactile afferents sensitive to slip-related mechanical transients in the human hand augments the robustness of grasping through secondary force modulation protocols. Despite this knowledge and the fact that tactile-based…
We explore gauge actions for lattice QCD, which are constructed such that the occurrence of small plaquette values is strongly suppressed. Such actions originate from the admissibility condition in order to conserve the topological charge.…
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…
As a test of the chiral properties of the improved Asqtad (staggered fermion) action, we have been measuring the topological susceptibility as a function of quark masses for 2 + 1 dynamical flavors. We report preliminary results, which show…
Standard sampling algorithms for lattice QCD suffer from topology freezing (or critical slowing down) when approaching the continuum limit, thus leading to poor sampling of the distinct topological sectors. I will present a modified…
We compute the topological susceptibility chi_t in SU(3) lattice gauge theory using fermionic methods based on the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. Near the phase transition we find a smooth crossover behavior for chi_t with values decreasing…
The flow of viscous fluids is considered as the aggregation of the motion of fluid particles when the fluid is conceived to be made up by an infinite number of particles. As an alternative of this conventional model, fluid motion could be…
This paper is one in a series that investigates topological measures on locally compact spaces. A topological measure is a set function which is finitely additive on the collection of open and compact sets, inner regular on open sets, and…
We study the topological charge and the topological susceptibility in lattice QCD with two degenerate flavors of naive Wilson fermions at two values of lattice spacings and different volumes, for a range of quark masses. Configurations are…
A sensitive porosity adjoint method (SPAM) for optimizing the topology of fluid machines has been proposed. A sensitivity function with respect to the porosity has been developed. In the first step of the optimization process, porous media…
The ability to perceive object slip via tactile feedback enables humans to accomplish complex manipulation tasks including maintaining a stable grasp. Despite the utility of tactile information for many applications, tactile sensors have…
We address a long standing problem regarding topology in lattice simulations of QCD with unimproved Wilson fermions. Earlier attempt with unimproved Wilson fermions at \beta =5.6 to verify the suppression of topological susceptibility with…
A method for simulating chiral gauge theories on the lattice is proposed, involving zeromodes on a topological defect. Lattice doublers may be decoupled in a gauge invariant manner, and flavor anomalies can be directly observed on a finite…
A method evaluating the sensitivity of a given parameter to topological changes is proposed within the method of moments paradigm. The basis functions are used as degrees of freedom which, when compared to the classical pixeling technique,…
We introduce topological methods for quantifying spatially heterogeneous dynamics, and use these tools to analyze particle-tracking data for a quasi-two-dimensional granular system of air-fluidized beads on approach to jamming. In…
