The Early Days of Lattice Gauge Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss some of the historical circumstances that drove us to use the lattice as a nonperturbative regulator. This approach has had immense success, convincingly demonstrating quark confinement and obtaining crucial properties of the strong interactions from first principles. I wrap up with some challenges for the future.

We give an overview of recent work on charge degrees of freedom of strongly correlated electrons on geometrically frustrated lattices. Special attention is paid to the checkerboard lattice, i.e., the two-dimensional version of a pyrochlore lattice and to the kagomé lattice. For the checkerboard lattice it is shown that at half filling when spin degrees of freedom are neglected and at quarter f...
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...

We study the phase structure of two dimensional pure lattice gauge theory with a Chern term. The symmetry groups are non-Abelian, finite and disconnected sub-groups of SU(3). Since the action is imaginary it introduces a rich phase structure compared to the originally trivial two dimensional pure gauge theory. The Z3 group is the center of these groups and the result shows that if we use one ...
متن کاملCP breaking in lattice chiral gauge theory
Discovery of gauge covariant local lattice Dirac operators [1,2], which satisfy the GinspargWilson relation [3], paved a way to a manifestly local and gauge invariant lattice formulation of anomaly-free chiral gauge theories [4]–[8]. (See also related early work in ref. [9]) It has been however pointed out that the CP symmetry, the fundamental discrete symmetry in chiral gauge theories, is not ...
متن کاملGauge invariance in a Z2 hamiltonian lattice gauge theory
We propose an efficient variational method for Z2 lattice gauge theory based on the matrix product ansatz. The method is applied to ladder and square lattices. The Gauss law needs to be imposed on quantum states to guarantee gauge invariance when one studies gauge theory in hamiltonian formalism. On the ladder lattice, we identify gauge invariant low-lying states by evaluating expectation value...
