Funded Activity Summary

Novel Fermion Actions for Lattice Gauge Theory. The Standard Model of the universe is founded on quantum field theories in which gauge bosons mediate the forces between fermions, the constituents of matter. For example, the gluon of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) mediates the strong interactions between quarks as they compose protons, and neutrons. The only way to reveal the long-distance properties of this fundamental gauge theory from first principles is to numerically simulate the theory on a space-time lattice. Simulating fermions on a lattice has proved very challenging. This project will explore novel and innovative improved fermion algorithms for the general problem of gauge theories on the lattice.
