Phase structure of SU(3) gauge theory with two flavors of symmetric-representation fermions
Thomas DeGrand, Yigal Shamir, Benjamin Svetitsky
We have performed numerical simulations of SU(3) gauge theory coupled to Nf=2 flavors of symmetric representation fermions. The fermions are discretized with the tadpole-improved c…

Why (staggered fermions)^{1/4} fail at finite density
Benjamin Svetitsky, Yigal Shamir, Maarten Golterman
Because the staggered fermion determinant is complex at nonzero mu, taking its fourth root leads to phase ambiguities. These unphysical effects cause the measure to become disconti…
