We review results concerning the θ dependence of 4D SU (N) gauge theories and QCD,
where θ is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term in the Lagrangian. In particular …

This book provides a broad introduction to gauge field theories formulated on a space-time
lattice, and in particular of QCD. It serves as a textbook for advanced graduate students, and …

A bstract We study the influence of strong external magnetic fields on gluonic and fermionic
observables in the QCD vacuum at zero and nonzero temperatures, via lattice simulations …

We represent Polyakov loops and their correlators as spectral sums of eigenvalues and
eigenmodes of the lattice Dirac operator. The deconfinement transition of pure gauge theory …

In SU (N) gauge theories without dynamical quarks, we discuss how configurations with
fractional ZN magnetic charge also have fractional topological charge,∼ 1/N, and dominate …

While sign-coherent 4-dimensional structures cannot dominate topological charge
fluctuations in the QCD vacuum at all scales due to reflection positivity, it is possible that …

Overlap fermions have an exact chiral symmetry on the lattice and are thus an appropriate
tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the QCD vacuum. We study …

We study the interplay between Dirac eigenmodes and center vortices in SU (2) lattice
gauge theory. In particular, we focus on vortex-removed configurations and compare them to …

We calculate the lattice two-point function of topological charge density in pure-glue QCD
using the discretization of the operator based on the overlap Dirac matrix. Utilizing data at …
