Adding Gauge Fields to Kaplan's Fermions
T. Blum, Leo Karkkainen
We experiment with adding dynamical gauge field to Kaplan (defect) fermions. In the case of U(1) gauge theory we use an inhomogenous Higgs mechanism to restrict the 3d gauge dynami…
Critical Behaviour of the 3d Gross-Neveu and Higgs-Yukawa Models
L. Karkkainen, R. Lacaze, P. Lacock +1
We measure the critical exponents of the three dimensional Gross-Neveu model with two four-component fermions. The exponents are inferred from the scaling behaviour of observables…
The Physical Phase of Dimensionally Reduced Gauge Theories
L. Karkkainen, P. Lacock, D. E. Miller +2
We investigate the relationship between the high temperature deconfined phase of the SU(2) gauge theory to the phases of the corresponding three dimensional adjoint Higgs model. Fo…
Interface Tension in Quenched QCD
Y. Iwasaki, K. Kanaya, Leo Kärkkäinen +2
We calculate the tension of the interface between the confined and deconfined phases by the histogram method in SU(3) lattice gauge theory for temporal extents of 4 and 6 using…
Spacelike Wilson Loops at Finite Temperature
L. Karkkainen, P. Lacock, D. E. Miller +2
In the high temperature phase of Yang-Mills theories, large spatial Wilson loops show area law behaviour with a string tension that grows with increasing temperature. Within the fr…
