Triviality pursuit: can elementary scalar particles exist?

DJE Callaway - Physics Reports, 1988 - Elsevier
Great effort is presently being expended in the search for elementary scalar “Higgs”
particles. These particles have yet to be observed. The primary justification for this search is …

Lattice tests of beyond Standard Model dynamics

T DeGrand - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
Over the last few years lattice techniques have been used to investigate candidate theories
of new physics beyond the standard model. This review gives a survey of results from these …

Regularity properties and pathologies of position-space renormalization-group transformations: Scope and limitations of Gibbsian theory

ACD Van Enter, R Fernández, AD Sokal - Journal of Statistical Physics, 1993 - Springer
We reconsider the conceptual foundations of the renormalization-group (RG) formalism, and
prove some rigorous theorems on the regularity properties and possible pathologies of the …

Perfect lattice action for asymptotically free theories

P Hasenfratz, F Niedermayer - Nuclear Physics B, 1994 - Elsevier
There exist lattice actions which give cut-off independent physical predictions even on
coarse grained lattices. Rotation symmetry is restored, the spectrum becomes exact and, in …

Scaling and asymptotic scaling in the SU (2) gauge theory

J Fingberg, U Heller, F Karsch - Nuclear Physics B, 1993 - Elsevier
We determine the critical couplings for the deconfinement phase transition in SU (2) gauge
theory on N τ× N σ 3 lattices with N τ= 8 and 16 and N σ varying between 16 and 48. A …

Non-perturbative thermodynamics of SU (N) gauge theories

J Engels, J Fingberg, F Karsch, D Miller, M Weber - Physics Letters B, 1990 - Elsevier
The pressure near the deconfinement transition as determined up to now in lattice gauge
theories shows unphysical behaviour: it can become negative and may in SU (3) even have …

Monte Carlo renormalization group minimal walking technicolor

S Catterall, L Del Debbio, J Giedt, L Keegan - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2012 - APS
We present a Monte Carlo renormalization group study of the SU (2) gauge theory with two
Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation. Using the two-lattice matching technique we …

One-loop perturbative calculation of Wilson loops on finite lattices

U Heller, F Karsch - Nuclear Physics B, 1985 - Elsevier
We present the one-loop (order g 4) perfturbative calculation of the expectation values of
Wilson loops and Polyakov lines on finite asymmetric lattices. Analytical as well as …

The classically perfect fixed-point action for SU (3) gauge theory

T DeGrand, A Hasenfratz, P Hasenfratz… - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
In this paper (the first of a series) we describe the construction of fixed-point actions for
lattice SU (3) pure gauge theory. Fixed-point actions have scale-invariant instanton solutions …
