SU(2) gauge theory with one and two adjoint fermions towards the continuum limit
Andreas Athenodorou, Ed Bennett, Georg Bergner +3
We provide an extended lattice study of the SU(2) gauge theory coupled to one Dirac fermion flavour () transforming in the adjoint representation as the continuu…
Confining Strings and the Worldsheet Axion from the Lattice
Andreas Athenodorou, Sergei Dubovsky, Conghuan Luo +1
We present a major update on the spectrum of closed flux tubes in gauge theories. We measure the excitation spectrum of confining strings wound around a spatial dim…
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…
