Toward a systematic analysis of the fourth-root trick
Joel Giedt
In this note I briefly discuss ideas related to the so-called fourth-root trick. A decomposition of the ``rooted'' fermion effective action into Wilson fermions and a nonlocal, lat…
Deconstruction, 2d lattice super-Yang-Mills, and the dynamical lattice spacing
Joel Giedt
We study expectation values related to the dynamical lattice spacing that occurs in the recent 2d lattice super-Yang-Mills constructions of Cohen et al. [hep-lat/0307012]. The corr…
Lack of trinification in Z_3 orbifolds of the SO(32) heterotic string
Joel Giedt
We report results relating to the trinification scenario in some explicit string constructions that contain SU(3)^3 as a gauge symmetry. These models are obtained from symmetric Z_…
Deconstruction, 2d lattice Yang-Mills, and the dynamical lattice spacing
Joel Giedt
We study expectation values related to the dynamical lattice spacing that occurs in the recent supersymmetric 2d lattice Yang-Mills constructions of Cohen et al. [hep-lat/0307012].…
Lattice supersymmetry and string phenomenology
Joel Giedt
I discuss the usefulness of lattice supersymmetry in relation to string phenomenology. I suggest how lattice results might be incorporated into string phenomenology. I outline diff…
Heterotic Orbifolds
Joel Giedt
A review of orbifold geometry is given, followed by a review of the construction of four-dimensional heterotic string models by compactification on a six-dimensional Z_3 orbifold.…
