A different kind of continuum limit for the three-dimensional U(1) gauge theory

Andreas Athenodorou, Claudio Bonati, Ivan Soler Calero

In three-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory color confinement can be understood analytically through the dynamics of magnetic monopoles. However, its continuum limit is…

The spectrum of open confining strings in the large-Nc limit

Alireza Sharifian, Andreas Athenodorou, Pedro Bicudo

In this study, we conduct a thorough examination of the spectrum of the open confining string in 3+1 dimensions, commonly referred to as the open flux-tube, across various gauge gr…

Realizing string breaking dynamics in a lattice gauge theory on quantum hardware

Constantia Alexandrou, Andreas Athenodorou, Kostas Blekos +2

We investigate static and dynamical aspects of string breaking in a lattice gauge theory coupled to Kogut-Susskind staggered fermions. Using Tensor Network simulations, we de…

Reproducibility and Open Science in Lattice Quantum Field Theory

Ed Bennett, Andreas Athenodorou, Louise Chisholm +2

Reproducibility and Open Science are increasingly discussed as essential aspects of the research process. While there are areas where the Lattice community has been ahead of the cu…

Towards an Effective String Theory for the flux tube

Andreas Athenodorou, Sergei Dubovsky, Conghuan Luo +1

The quest to develop an effective string theory capable of describing the confining flux tube has been a longstanding objective within the theoretical physics community. Recent lat…

The spectrum of open confining strings in the large- limit

Alireza Sharifian, Andreas Athenodorou, Pedro Bicudo

We compute the spectra of open flux tubes formed between a static quark-antiquark pair for various gauge groups in the large- limit, focusing on different symmetries manifeste…
