The quest to develop an effective string theory capable of describing the confining flux tube has been a longstanding objective within the theoretical physics community. Recent lattice results indicate that the low-lying spectrum of the…
The spatial distribution of fields and currents in confining theories can give direct evidence of dual superconductivity. We review the behavior of vortices in the lattice Higgs effective theory. We discuss the techniques for finding these…
In this report we summarize a recent progress in exploration of correlated two-dimensional electron states in partially filled high Landau levels. At a mean-field Hartree-Fock level they can be described as charge-density waves, either…
We calculate the energy spectrum of a confining flux tube that is closed around a spatial torus, as a function of its length l. We do so for various SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions, and for various values of spin, parity and…
We review efforts to study, using the methods of lattice field theory, the phenomenon of diquark condensation via BCS pairing at a Fermi surface, which has been proposed as a mechanism for color superconductivity in dense quark matter. The…
Three dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory is studied after eliminating thin monopoles and the smallest thick monopoles. Kinematically this constraint allows the formation of thick vortex loops which produce Z(2) fluctuations at longer…
We calculate the electric flux and magnetic monopole current distribution in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair for SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the maximal Abelian gauge. The current distribution confines the flux in a dual…
U(1), SU(2), and SU(3) lattice gauge theories in presence of external fields are investigated both in (3+1) and (2+1) dimensions. The free energy of gauge systems has been measured. While the phase transition in compact U(1) is not…
In recent years the complex action problem of lattice field theory at finite density was overcome for several system by mapping them to dual variables (flux lines and surfaces). We illustrate this mapping for the case of the U(1) gauge…
We study the detailed properties of Z_2 domain walls in the deconfined high temperature phase of the d=2+1 SU(2) gauge theory. These walls are studied both by computer simulations of the lattice theory and by one-loop perturbative…
SU(2) gauge theory is investigated with a lattice action which is insensitive to small perturbations of the lattice gauge fields. Bare perturbation theory can not be defined for such actions at all. We compare non-perturbative continuum…
We update our numerical investigation of topological structures around static quarks in pure gauge QCD by results of the first runs including dynamical quarks. Simulations were performed on an $8^3\times4$ lattice, with $SU(3)$ Wilson…
The emergence of flux-tubes as the distance is increased between a quark and an antiquark is explored in a three-dimensional confining gauge theory using the gauge/gravity duality. We delineate the shape of the flux-tube corresponding to…
SU(2) lattice gauge theory with four flavors of quarks is simulated at nonzero chemical potential mu and temperature T and the results are compared to the predictions of Effective Lagrangians. Simulations on 16^4 lattices indicate that at…
Beta-functions are derived for the flow of N=2 SUSY SU(2) Yang-Mills in 4-dimensions with massless matter multiplets in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. The beta-functions represent the flow of the couplings as the VEV of…
An attempt is made to describe from first principles the large-scale structure of the confining vacuum in quantum chromodynamics. Starting from our previous variational studies of the SU(2) pure gauge theory in an external Abelian…
We present a comprehensive study of finite volume and lattice spacing effects on observables calculated in the static approximation. Ground state projection using smearing techniques is studied at $\beta=6.26$. We give high statics results…
We study the phase diagram of scalar field theory on a three dimensional Euclidean spacetime whose spatial component is a fuzzy sphere. The corresponding model is an ordinary one-dimensional matrix model deformed by terms involving fixed…
As a step towards understanding multi-quark systems abundant in nature we construct a model that reproduces the binding energies of static four-quark systems. These energies have been calculated using SU(2) lattice gauge theory for a set of…
Four-quark potentials for $SU(2)$ are evaluated in the static limit with the quenched approximation -- using a lattice of $16^3\times 32$ and $\beta=2.4$. The four quarks are restricted to the corners of rectangles with sides upto seven…
