We investigate the features of ${\rm CP}^{N-1}$ models concerning confinement and topology. In order to study the approach to the large-$N$ asymptotic regime, we determine the topological susceptibility and the string tension for a wide…

In order to check the validity and the range of applicability of the 1/N expansion, we performed numerical simulations of the two-dimensional lattice CP(N-1) models at large N, in particular we considered the CP(20) and the CP(40) models.…

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 $N_t=2$,…

The topological vacuum structure of the two-dimensional $~CP^{n-1}~$ model for $~n = 3,5,7~$ is studied on the lattice. In particular we investigate the small-volume limit on the torus as well as on the sphere and compare with continuum…

We investigate the large-N behavior of the topological susceptibility in four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories at finite temperature, and in particular across the finite-temperature transition at Tc. For this purpose, we consider the…

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…

We calculate the low-lying glueball spectrum, some string tensions and some properties of topology and the running coupling for SU(N) lattice gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions. We do so for N = 2,3,...12, using lattice simulations with the…

The large N limit of SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions is investigated on the lattice by extrapolating results obtained for $2 \le N \le 5$. A numerical determination of the masses of the lowest-lying glueball states and of the…

The topological susceptibility of the quenched QCD vacuum is measured on large lattices for three $\beta$ values from $6.0$ to $6.4$. Charges possibly induced by $O(a)$ dislocations are identified and shown to have little effect on the…

I show how one can use lattice methods to calculate various continuum properties of SU(N) gauge theories; in part to explore old ideas that N=3 might be close to N=infinity. I describe calculations of the low-lying `glueball' mass spectrum,…

We calculate the topological charge density of SU(N) lattice gauge fields for values of N up to N=8. Our T=0 topological susceptibility appears to approach a finite non-zero limit at N=infinity that is consistent with earlier extrapolations…

We calculate the string tension, K, and some of the lightest glueball masses, M, in 3+1 dimensional SU(N) lattice gauge theories for N=2,3,4,5 . From the continuum extrapolation of the lattice values, we find that the mass ratios,…

The CP^3 spin model is simulated at large correlation lengths in two dimensions. An overrelaxation algorithm is employed which yields reduced critical slowing down with dynamical exponents z around unity. We compare our results with recent…

The topological susceptibility of $2d$ $\mathrm{CP}^{N-1}$ models is expected, based on perturbative computations, to develop a divergence in the limit $N \to 2$, where these models reduce to the well-known non-linear $\mathrm{O}(3)$…

We measure the topological susceptibility of quenched QCD on the lattice at two high temperatures. For this, we define topology with the help of gradient flow and mitigate the statistical problem of topology at high temperatures using a…

The definition and computation of the topological susceptibility in non-abelian gauge theories is complicated by the presence of non-integrable short-distance singularities. Recently, alternative representations of the susceptibility were…

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…

We present a precise computation of the topological susceptibility $\chi_{_\mathrm{YM}}$ of SU$(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in the large $N$ limit. The computation is done on the lattice, using high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations with $N=3,…

The pressure and the energy density of the $SU(3)$ gauge theory are calculated on lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau = 4$, 6 and 8 and spatial extent $N_\sigma =16$ and 32. The results are then extrapolated to the continuum limit. In the…

We review results concerning the theta dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories and QCD, where theta is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term in the Lagrangian. In particular, we discuss theta dependence in the large-N limit.…
