Lattice gauge theory: A retrospective
نویسنده
چکیده
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 usefully review anyway. Thus the majority of this talk will refer back to the early days. I will try to recall the conditions that drove us to this peculiar approach to regularizing quantum field theory.

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...

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 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...
متن کاملImproved Landau Gauge Fixing and Discretisation Errors ∗
Gauge fixing in lattice gauge theory simulations is crucial for many calculations e.g. the study of gauge dependent quantities such as the gluon propagator [1]. However, the standard lattice Landau gauge condition [2] is the same as the continuum condition, ∑ μ ∂μAμ = 0, only to leading order in the lattice spacing, a. The focus of this talk is to use mean-fieldimproved perturbation theory [3] ...

We reformulate the Hamiltonian approach to lattice gauge theories such that, at the classical level, the gauge group does not act canonically, but instead as a Poisson-Lie group. At the quantum level, it then gets promoted to a quantum group gauge symmetry. The theory depends on two parameters-the deformation parameter and the lattice spacing a. We show that the system of Kogut and Susskind is ...
