In 1965, Feynman wrote of using a lattice containing one dimension of space and one dimension of time to derive aspects of quantum mechanics. Instead of summing the behavior of all possible paths as he did, this paper will consider the…

Exact diagonalizations of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the checkerboard lattice have been performed for sizes up to N=36 in the full Hilbert space and N=40 in the restricted subspace of first neighbor dimers. This antiferromagnet does…

A lattice quantum gravity model in 4 dimensional Riemannian spacetime is constructed based on the SU(2) Ashtekar formulation of general relativity. This model can be understood as one of the family of models sometimes called ``spin foam…

The Feynman checkerboard problem is an interesting path integral approach to the Dirac equation in `1+1' dimensions. I compare two approaches reported in the literature and show how they may be reconciled. Some physical insights may be…

We study Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a diamond-like decorated square lattice perturbed by further neighbor couplings. The second-order effective Hamiltonian is calculated and the resultant Hamiltonian is found to be a square-lattice…

We study a class of universal Feynman integrals which appear in four-dimensional holomorphic theories. We recast the integrals as the Fourier transform of a certain polytope in the space of loop momenta (aka the ``Operatope''). We derive a…

The ferromagnetism of the checkerboard lattice Hubbard model at quarter filling is one of the few exact ferromagnetic ground states known in the family of Hubbard models. When the nearest neighbor hopping, t1, is negligible compared with…

The spin-fermion model was previously successful to describe the complex phase diagrams of colossal magnetoresistive manganites and iron-based superconductors. In recent years, two-dimensional magnets have rapidly raised up as a new…

Four-dimensional spacetime, together with a natural generalisation to extra dimensions, is obtained through an analysis of the structures and symmetries deriving from possible arithmetic expressions for one-dimensional time. On taking the…

We present a new completely elementary model that describes the creation, annihilation, and motion of non-interacting electrons and positrons along a line. It is a modification of the model known under the names Feynman checkers or…

In braneworld models, Space-Time-Matter and other Kaluza-Klein theories, our spacetime is devised as a four-dimensional hypersurface {\it orthogonal} to the extra dimension in a five-dimensional bulk. We show that the FRW line element can…

A comparison of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnetic model (QHAM) on the pyrochlore lattice, the checkerboard lattice and the square lattice with crossing interactions is performed. The three lattices are constructed with the same…

Models of hadronization of hard jets in QCD are often presented in terms of Feynman-graph structures that can be thought of as effective field theory approximations to dynamical non-perturbative physics in QCD. Such models can be formulated…

We study possible quantum phases of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the planar pyrochlore lattice, also known as the checkerboard lattice or the square lattice with crossings. It is assumed that the exchange coupling on the…

The D4-D5-E6 model of gravity and the Standard Model with a 130 GeV truth quark is constructed using 3x3 matrices of octonions. The model has both continuum and lattice versions. The lattice version uses HyperDiamond lattice structure.

A lattice model of 3He - 4He mixtures which takes into account the continuous rotational symmetry O(2) of the superfluid degrees of freedom of 4He is studied in the molecular-field approximation and by Monte Carlo simulations in three…

The problem of constructing a quantum theory of gravity has been tackled with very different strategies, most of which relying on the interplay between ideas from physics and from advanced mathematics. On the mathematical side, a central…

Lattice Gauge Theory in 4-dimensional Euclidean space-time is generalized to ribbon categories which replace the category of representations of the gauge group. This provides a framework in which the gauge group becomes a quantum group…

The Hubbard model on the fcc lattice is studied in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions. At sufficiently strong interaction finite temperature Quantum Monte Carlo calculations yield a second order phase transition to a highly polarized…

We are entering an era where a number of large-scale lattice simulations of four-dimensional supersymmetric theories are under way. Moreover, proposals for how to approach such studies continue to progress. One particular line of research…
