Abstract

We calculate the triviality bound on the Higgs mass in scalar field theory models whose global symmetry group $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_{\rm custodial} \approx O(4)$ has been replaced by $O(N)$ and $N$ has been taken to infinity. Limits on observable cutoff effects at four percent in several regularized models with tunable couplings in the bare action yield triviality bounds displaying a large degree of universality. Extrapolating from $N=\infty$ to $N=4$ we conservatively estimate that a Higgs particle with mass up to $0.750~TeV$ and width up to $0.290~TeV$ is realizable without large cutoff effects, indicating that strong scalar self interactions in the standard model are not ruled out. We also present preliminary numerical results of the physical $N=4$ case for the $F_4$ lattice that are in agreement with the large $N$ expectations.

On credit attribution and research software: A case study from lattice QCD

Questions of authorship, credit attribution, and the recognition of research software contributions have become increasingly prominent in continually expanding research areas in which software constitutes an essential part of the research process. While general guidelines and best practices exist, their application in concrete situations often raises nontrivial interpretative and procedural issues. This article presents a documented case study from lattice QCD research in which the author was directly involved, illustrating how the development of numerical strategies, long-term software infrastructure, and conceptual extensions of existing work can give rise to complex questions of authorship, priority, and credit attribution. Rather than discussing the underlying scientific results, the focus is on the sequence of events, the role of software as long-term research infrastructure, and the interaction with established mechanisms for credit attribution and research integrity assessment. The aim of this work is to contribute to transparency and discussion on how current practices and guidelines are applied in realistic collaborative environments, and to highlight structural tensions that may arise between open scientific collaboration, software sustainability, and traditional notions of authorship. The article is intended as a factual account and reflection on research practice, and aims to stimulate discussion on whether additional community standards for recognising long-term research software contributions may be beneficial within lattice QCD.

No-go theorems for dual Hamiltonians of Non-Abelian Lattice Gauge Theories

Hamiltonian simulations of lattice gauge theories promise new insights into the inner workings of QCD. The rapid development of quantum computing hardware suggests that large scale simulations may soon become feasible. However, no efficient formulation suitable for simulations near the continuum limit is currently known for the non-Abelian case, and existing candidates typically feature long range interactions in the electric part of the Hamiltonian. We prove that such non- localities are unavoidable when the gauge configuration is reparametrised while preserving both the number of degrees of freedom and the fundamental commutation relations. We then attempt to mitigate this by introducing additional gauge links alongside additional constraints. Although this approach is successful in U(1), we prove that the corresponding construction is inconsistent for non-Abelian lattice gauge theories.

Information-preserving boundary reconstruction for center-flux energetics in a regulated SU(3) gauge ladder

Gauss constraints make it nontrivial to open, close or join a gauge system while retaining its interior physics. Boundary reconstructions are constructed on a pure SU(3) ladder at six site-singlet cutoffs, with all allowed intertwiner multiplicities. Replacements of prescribed length are obtained using legal column paths and physical self-loops. On their stated physical domains, the channels preserve unnormalized conditional interior matrices, including their weights and within-branch coherence. Lowest-cutoff dephasing controls show that path probabilities alone do not preserve the matched magnetic observables. In that example, coherent resources lower the output energy without purification or global ground-state preparation. Matched interior Hamiltonian terms cancel exactly, so the energy cost is bounded independently of longitudinal length. The vacuum and flux energy densities are then established separately by same-sector gluing and stability. The open and periodic vacuum-subtracted line-energy densities are shown to be equal by two same-length boundary comparisons using the qualified periodic minimizing domain. These limits hold at fixed lattice spacing, transverse width, coupling and chosen cutoff.
