We construct a conformal lattice theory with only gauge degrees of freedom based on the induced non-local gauge action in QED$_3$ coupled to large number of flavors $N$ of massless two-component Dirac fermions. This lattice system displays…
We compute the screening correlators in the sigma and eta' flavor singlet channels in finite temperature QCD with 2 light quark flavors. Together with the correlators in the pi and delta channels, these are used to discuss several issues…
The phase diagram of non-compact lattice QED in four dimensions with staggered fermions of charges 1 and $-1/2$ is investigated. The renormalized charges are determined and found to be in agreement with perturbation theory. This is an…
Two-dimensional QCD with $N_c$ colors and $N_f$ flavors of massless fermions in the fundamental representation is expected to exhibit conformal behavior in the infrared governed by a $u(N_f)$ WZW model with level $N_c$. Using numerical…
We study an SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=8 degenerate flavors of light fermions in the fundamental representation. Using the domain wall fermion formulation, we investigate the light hadron spectrum, chiral condensate and electroweak S…
In the normal phase (where no dynamical fermion mass generation occurs) of the D-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with $N_f$ flavors of fermions, we derive an integral equation which should be satisfied by (the inverse of) the wave…
We study the IR phase of three dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED$_3$) coupled to $N_f=2$ flavors of two-component Dirac fermions, which has been controversial for decades. This theory has been proposed to be self-dual with symmetry…
We present preliminary numerical results for the three dimensional non-compact QED with a weak four-fermion term in the lattice action. Approaches based on Schwinger-Dyson studies, arguments based on thermodynamic inequalities and numerical…
The infra-red properties of three-dimensional abelian lattice gauge theory are known to be governed by a neutral plasma of magnetic monopole excitations. We address the fate of these monopoles in the presence of light dynamical fermions,…
We solve, analytically and numerically, a gap equation in parity invariant QED_3 in the presence of an infrared cutoff \mu and derive an expression for the critical fermion number N_c as a function of \mu. We argue that this dependence of…
We analyze the many-flavor phase diagram of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in 2+1 (Euclidean) space-time dimensions. We compute the critical flavor number above which the theory is in the quasi-conformal massless phase. For this, we study…
We show that the discrepancy on the critical flavor number of fermions $N_f^c$ for the appearance of the infrared fixed point based on the t'Hooft anomaly matching condition and derived from the Schr\"odinger functional method ($N_f^c\sim…
Three-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) of deconfined gauge fields coupled to gapless flavors of fermionic and bosonic matter describe quantum critical points of condensed matter systems in two spatial dimensions. An important…
We present results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the three dimensional Thirring model with the number of fermion flavors N_f varied between 2 and 18. By identifying the lattice coupling at which the chiral condensate peaks, simulations are…
We review our attempt at understanding the phase structure of lattice QCD with the Wilson fermion formulation at finite temperature, based on a spontaneous breakdown of parity-flavor symmetry. Numerical results demonstrating explicitly the…
Over the past few years three dimensional Quantum Electrodynamics (QED$_3$) has attracted a lot of attention, because it may be an effective theory for the underdoped and non-superconducting region of the phase diagram of high $T_c$ cuprate…
We present a brief overview of our recent lattice studies of SU(3) gauge theory with N_f = 8 and 12 fundamental fermions, including some new and yet-unpublished results. To explore relatively unfamiliar systems beyond lattice QCD, we carry…
There are plausibility arguments that QED in three dimensions has a critical number of flavors of massless two-component fermions, below which scale invariance is broken by the presence of bilinear condensate. We present numerical evidences…
We present numerical evidences using overlap fermions for a scale-invariant behavior of parity-invariant three-dimensional QED with two flavors of massless two-component fermions. Using finite-size scaling of the low-lying eigenvalues of…
We investigate QCD with a large number of massless flavors with the aid of renormalization group flow equations. We determine the critical number of flavors separating the phases with and without chiral symmetry breaking in SU(Nc) gauge…
