The invariant integration method for Chern-Simons theory for gauge group SU(2) and manifold \Gamma\H^3 is verified in the semiclassical approximation. The semiclassical limit for the partition function associated with a connected sum of…
Quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories offer the potential to directly study the non-perturbative dynamics of quantum chromodynamics, but naive analyses suggest that they require large computational resources. Large $N_c$ expansions…
We develop new gauge-covariant implicit numerical schemes for classical real-time lattice gauge theory. A new semi-implicit scheme is used to cure a numerical instability encountered in three-dimensional classical Yang-Mills simulations of…
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…
We prove the existence of topological solutions to the self-dual Chern-Simons model and the Abelian Higgs system on the lattice graphs Z^n for n>1. This extends the results in Huang, Lin and Yau [HLY20] from finite graphs to lattice graphs.
The ${\cal N} = 2^*$ Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions is a non-conformal theory that appears as a mass deformation of maximally supersymmetric ${\cal N} = 4$ Yang-Mills theory. This theory also takes part in the AdS/CFT correspondence…
We study properties of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on a four-dimensional Euclidean spacetime in which two directions are compactified into a finite two-dimensional torus ${\mathbb T}^2$ while two others constitute a large ${\mathbb R}^2$…
As a first step towards a quantitative understanding of the SU(4)/Sp(4) composite Higgs model through lattice calculations, we discuss the low energy effective field theory resulting from the SU(4) $\to$ Sp(4) global symmetry breaking…
An algebraic method is used to work out the mass spectra and symmetry breaking patterns of general vacuum states in N=2 supersymmetric SU(n) Chern-Simons-Higgs systems with the matter fields being in the adjoint representation. The approach…
We make a first study of the phase diagram of four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory regulated on a space-time lattice. The lattice formulation we employ is both gauge invariant and retains at all lattice spacings one exactly…
We study a matrix model obtained by dimensionally reducing Chern-Simon theory on S^3. We find that the matrix integration is decomposed into sectors classified by the representation of SU(2). We show that the N-block sectors reproduce SU(N)…
We give arguments that in the 1+1 dimensional abelian Higgs model the classical approximation can be good for the leading high temperature behavior of real time processes. The Chern-Simons diffusion rate (`sphaleron rate') is studied…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking has been observed in lattice simulations of five-dimensional gauge theories on an orbifold. This effect is reproduced by perturbation theory if it is modified to account for a finite cut-off. We present a…
We present a (2+1)-dimensional gauged $O(3) \sigma$-model with an Abelian Chern--Simons term. It shows topologically stable, anyonic vortices as classical solutions. The fields are studied in the case of rotational symmetry and analytic…
We consider two-dimensional ${\cal N} = (2, 2)$ Yang--Mills theory with gauge group SU($N$) in Euclidean signature compactified on a torus with thermal fermion boundary conditions imposed on one cycle. We perform non-perturbative lattice…
We show that fractional charges bound to topological defects in the recently proposed time-reversal-invariant models on honeycomb and square lattices obey fractional statistics. The effective low-energy description is given in terms of a…
Recently, the chiral logarithms predicted by quenched chiral perturbation theory have been extracted from lattice calculations of hadron masses. We argue that the deviations of lattice results from random matrix theory starting around the…
Discretization of supersymmetric theories is an old problem in lattice field theory. It has resisted solution until quite recently when new ideas drawn from orbifold constructions and topological field theory have been brought to bear on…
Lattice QCD simulations tend to get stuck in a single topological sector at fine lattice spacing, or when using chirally symmetric quarks. In such cases computed observables differ from their full QCD counterparts by finite volume…
In this paper we present results from numerical simulations of N=4 super Yang-Mills for two color gauge theory over a wide range of 't Hooft coupling $0<\lambda\le 30$ using a supersymmetric lattice action \cite{Catterall:2009it}. Numerical…
