Magnetic Monopoles as Agents of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in U(1) Lattice Gauge Theory
Tom Bielefeld, Simon Hands, John D. Stack +1
We present results suggesting that magnetic monopoles can account for chiral symmetry breaking in abelian gauge theory. Full U(1) configurations from a lattice simulation are facto…
Log Triviality in the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio Model
Simon Hands
Results are presented from a Monte Carlo simulation of the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model with SU(2)xSU(2) chiral symmetry and N_f=2 flavors of fermion. We show that fits to the equat…
Fixed Point Four-Fermi Theories
Simon Hands
I review dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in four-fermi models, including results of Monte Carlo simulations with dynamical fermions. For 2<d<4, where the phase transition define…
Logarithmic Corrections to the Equation of State in the SU(2)xSU(2) Nambu - Jona-Lasinio Model
Simon Hands, John B. Kogut
We present results from a Monte Carlo simulation of the Nambu - Jona-Lasinio model, with continuous SU(2)xSU(2) chiral symmetry, in four Euclidean dimensions. Different model equat…
Monte Carlo Study of the 3D Thirring Model
Simon Hands
I review three different non-perturbative approaches to the three dimensional Thirring model: the 1/N_f expansion, Schwinger-Dyson equations, and Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation…
