Abstract

We calculate loop contributions up to four loops to the Landau gauge gluon propagator in numerical stochastic perturbation theory. For different lattice volumes we carefully extrapolate the Euler time step to zero for the Langevin dynamics derived from the Wilson action. The one-loop result for the gluon propagator is compared to the infinite volume limit of standard lattice perturbation theory.

Continuum limit of a qubit-regularized SU(3) lattice gauge theory on a plaquette chain

We show that a simple qubit-regularized $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ lattice gauge theory on a plaquette chain admits a continuum limit with massive gauge-invariant excitations, providing a minimal toy model of strong interactions without quarks. By mapping the plaquette-chain Hamiltonian to the three-state quantum clock model in a magnetic field, we demonstrate that the theory can be tuned to a continuum limit governed at short distances by the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parafermion conformal field theory, which serves as the ultraviolet fixed point. A small relevant magnetic perturbation then drives the system to a massive continuum quantum field theory in the infrared, featuring relativistic particles. In this continuum theory we compute two universal ratios: the mass ratio of the lightest massive particles with opposite charge conjugation, $m^{-}/m^{+} = 1.459(2)$, and $\sqrtσ/m^{+} = 0.2648(2)$, where $σ$ denotes the string tension between a static quark and antiquark.

Hamiltonian framework for Chiral Gauge Theories on a Disk Boundary

I propose a Hamiltonian framework for chiral gauge theories (CGT) based on a Euclidean formulation which uses 2n dimensional chiral fermions on the boundary of a 2n+1 dimensional disk. In the original Euclidean formulation, boundary gauge fields were extended into the bulk using $2n + 1$ dimensional gauge field equations of motion (EOM) which creates a bottleneck for constructing a Hamiltonian. I present an alternate proposal for extending the gauge fields into the bulk that is compatible with both a Hamiltonian framework and a Euclidean path integral. Applying this to Abelian gauge fields produces exact expressions of interior fields as a functional of the boundary fields, which can be directly used in a Hamiltonian formulation. Euclidean analysis of the new gauge field extension shows that it can preserve the non-perturbative content of the original construction, including the behavior of topological charge, associated chiral fermion zero modes and an absence of the strong CP problem when applied to the Standard Model. This construction opens up a route to a Hamiltonian treatment and future quantum simulation of CGTs on a disk boundary.

Performance Portable $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Lattice Gauge Theory Simulation with Kokkos

The increasing diversity of high performance computing systems makes separate, architecture specific implementations of lattice gauge theory algorithms costly to maintain. We present \texttt{kwqft}, a performance portable Kokkos implementation of Wilson pure gauge Monte Carlo simulation for $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in an arbitrary number of space-time dimensions. The gauge group order $N$ and the dimension $D$ are compile time parameters. A single source targets the Serial, OpenMP, CUDA, HIP, and SYCL execution spaces, with MPI halo exchange overlapped with interior updates. The implementation reproduces the exact two-dimensional plaquette and published three and four dimensional values for gauge groups up to $\mathrm{SU}(17)$. On an NVIDIA A100 the Kokkos CUDA backend is competitive with a native CUDA code, SIMD acceleration improves the OpenMP path on Armv9 processors, and a large scale speedup is demonstrated for an $\mathrm{SU}(4)$ lattice on the LineShine supercomputer, currently ranked first on the TOP500 list.
