We report on the status of our programme to simulate Sp($2N$) gauge theories on the lattice. Motivated by the potential realization of an SU($4$)/Sp($4$)$\sim$SO($6$)/SO($5$) composite Higgs model and the applications to self interacting…

Fermionic Gaussian operators are foundational tools in quantum many-body theory, numerical simulation of fermionic dynamics, and fermionic linear optics. While their structure is fully determined by two-point correlations, evaluating their…

We have simulated the SU(4) lattice gauge theory coupled to dynamical fermions in the fundamental and two-index antisymmetric (sextet) representations simultaneously. Such theories arise naturally in the context of composite Higgs models…

The defining relations (triple relations) of n pairs of parafermion operators f_j^\pm (j=1,...,n) are known to coincide with a set of defining relations for the Lie algebra so(2n+1) in terms of 2n generators. With the common Hermiticity…

We calculate numerically the density of states n(S) for SU(2) lattice gauge theory on $L^4$ lattices. Small volume dependence are resolved for small values of S. We compare $ln(n(S))$ with weak and strong coupling expansions. Intermediate…

We reconsider the problem of discretising the worldsheet for the gauge-fixed Green-Schwarz superstring on a null cusp background, and present a setup which fully preserves its global $U(1)\times SU(4)$ symmetry. We discuss divergences by…

We carry out preliminary numerical study of Sugino's lattice formulation \cite{Sugino:2004qd,Sugino:2004qdf} of the two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ super Yang-Mills theory (2d $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ SYM) with the gauge group $\SU(2)$. The…

We define the quadratic algebra su(2)_{\alpha} which is a one-parameter deformation of the Lie algebra su(2) extended by a parity operator. The odd-dimensional representations of su(2) (with representation label j, a positive integer) can…

We present in this talk a model based on SO(10) x SU(2)_{F} having symmetric mass textures with 5 zeros constructed by us recently. The symmetric mass textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking chain of SO(10) give rise to good…

We consider supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification where the unified gauge group can break to the Standard Model gauge group through different chains. The breaking of SO(10) necessarily involves the reduction of the rank, and consequent…

We discuss our conjecture for simply laced Lie algebras level two string functions of mark one fundamental weights and prove it for the $SO(2r)$ algebra. To prove our conjecture we introduce $q$-diagrams and examine the diagrammatic…

The d=10 type II string theories, d=11 M-theory and d=12 F-theory have the same symmetry group. It can be viewed either as a subgroup of a conformal group OSp(1|64) or as a contraction of OSp(1|32). The theories are related by different…

We investigate a large class of supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories within the framework of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking. We start with the most general messenger sector and imbedd the standard model gauge group into…

We use lattice techniques to study the closed-string spectrum of SU(N) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We calculate the energies of the lowest lying ~30 states for strings with lengths between l ~ 0.45 fm and l ~ 3 fm, and compare to…

We construct the SU(5) and SO(10) models from F-theory. Turning on the U(1) fluxes, we can break the SU(5) gauge symmetry down to the Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetry, and break the SO(10) gauge symmetry down to the SU(3)_C X SU(2)_L X…

For correlators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills preserving half the supersymmetry, we manifestly recast the gauge theory Feynman diagram expansion as a sum over dual closed strings. Each individual Feynman diagram maps on to a Riemann…

Lattice studies of gauge theories with symplectic gauge groups provide valuable information about gauge dynamics, and complement the results of lattice investigations focused on unitary gauge groups. These theories play a central role in…

Models of Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking are expected to display a quasi-conformal scaling behaviour in order to accommodate experimental constraints. The scaling properties of a theory can be studied using finite volume…

This article investigates properties of semiclassical Gauge Field Theory Coherent States for general quantum gauge theories. Useful, e.g., for the canonical formulation of Lattice Gauge Theories these states are labelled by a point in the…

Four-dimensional string theories predict in general the existence of light exotic particles with fractional electric charges. Such particles could escape present observations if they are confined by a gauge group of the "hidden" sector into…
