For the confined phase of pure SU(N) gauge theory, we generalize a method to produce a system that possesses two differently ordered phases simultaneously. Between these two ordered phases there naturally lies an interface which we call the order-order (o-o) interface. The interface is formed by placing a twist in the lattice. This twist creates a discontinuity in the measured Polyakov loop...
Recent advances in algorithms and hardware have facilitated large-scale lattice studies of QCD-like theories, including the Corrigan-Ramond large-N limit of Yang-Mills coupled to a single fermion in the two-index antisymmetric representation, which provides a path to studying $\mathcal{N}=1$ SUSY Yang-Mills at large-N. In this talk, we explore the topological properties of gauge configurations...
The HVP is a prime example of the synergy between lattice QCD and effective field theories, and of hadronic contributions to fundamentally non-hadronic processes like the muon $g-2$. It is a rich source of physics, even more so with the confidence and precision left behind now that the controversy surrounding its measurement is dying down.
We bring the ChPT prediction for the HVP up to...
The Gradient Flow is a smoothing technique that has been studied for its properties in the field of renormalization. In combination with the short flow-time expansion, it provides a renormalization scheme in which hadronic matrix elements on the lattice evolve along the flow time, gradually removing UV divergences. In this renormalization scheme, some of lattice challenges—such as mixing with...
In this brief overview I will talk about the phenomenological relevance of neutron beta decays and the current status. Particular focus will be put on the role of lattice QCD in future precision determinations of radiative corrections. This presentation is within the framework of a 'dream' project of NOLA.
In the AI era, modern architectures achieve remarkable results that are reshaping how we do science, often relying on pragmatic principles that are typically poorly understood. Autoencoder technology is based on the concept of a latent space where hidden variables capture correlations in observed data. From a physicist's perspective, “marginalization of hidden variables” takes the name of...
We present lattice results for the confined-deconfined interface tension and the latent heat of pure SU(N) gauge theory up to N=10 (16) and investigate their asymptotic N-dependency. We determine the interface tension with the mixed phase or interface capillary wave method, introduced in the field theory context by Moore and Turok (1997). The method bypasses supercritical slowing down and...
