Positivity and topology in lattice gauge theory
With certain smoothness assumptions, continuum Yang-Mills field configurations in four dimensional spacetime can be classified by a topological winding number [1]. This realization has played a major role in our understanding of the importance of nonperturbative phenomena in the SU(3) gauge theory of the strong interactions [2]. This winding number is uniquely defined for smooth fields; however...

متن کاملLattice Gauge Theory
Supercomputers have recently become a crucial tool for the quantum field the-orist. Applied to the formalism of lattice gauge theory, numerical simulations are providing fundamental quantitative information about the interactions of quarks, the fundamental constituents of those particles which experience nuclear interactions. Perhaps most strikingly, these simulations have provided convincing e...
متن کاملTopology and the axial anomaly in abelian lattice gauge theories
The axial anomaly in abelian lattice gauge theories is shown to be equal to a simple quadratic expression in the gauge field tensor plus a removable divergence term if the lattice Dirac operator satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. The theorem is a consequence of the locality, the gauge invariance and the topological nature of the anomaly and does not refer to any other properties of the lat...
متن کاملLattice gauge theory: A retrospective
I am honored to have this opportunity to give the final talk at this wonderful meeting. I was originally asked to talk about “Lattice gauge theory: past, present, and future.” Well, I really don’t know much about the future, and if I did, I would be out trying to develop the ideas. As for the present, well you have for the last few days been hearing all about it, and there is too much for me to...
