We present initial results from ongoing lattice investigations into the thermal phase structure of the Berenstein--Maldacena--Nastase deformation of maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills quantum mechanics. The phase diagram of the theory depends on both the temperature $T$ and the deformation parameter $mu$, through the dimensionless ratios $T / mu$ and $g equiv lambda / mu^3$ with $lambda$ the t Hooft coupling. Considering couplings $g$ that span three orders of magnitude, we reproduce the weak-coupling perturbative prediction for the deconfinement $T / mu$ and approach recent large-$N$ dual supergravity analyses in the strong-coupling limit. We are carrying out calculations with lattice sizes up to $N_{tau} = 24$ and numbers of colors up to $N = 16$, to allow initial checks of the large-$N$ continuum limit.
We describe a unitary matrix model which is constructed from discrete analogs of the usual projective modules over the noncommutative torus and use it to construct a lattice version of noncommutative gauge theory. The model is a discretization of the noncommutative gauge theories that arise from toroidal compactification of Matrix theory and it includes a recent proposal for a non-perturbative definition of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory in terms of twisted reduced models. The model is interpreted as a manifestly star-gauge invariant lattice formulation of noncommutative gauge theory, which reduces to ordinary Wilson lattice gauge theory for particular choices of parameters. It possesses a continuum limit which maintains both finite spacetime volume and finite noncommutativity scale. We show how the matrix model may be used for studying the properties of noncommutative gauge theory.
It is believed that the two-dimensional massless $mathcal{N}=2$ Wess--Zumino model becomes the $mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) in the infrared (IR) limit. We examine this theoretical conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg (LG) description of the $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT by numerical simulations on the basis of a supersymmetric-invariant momentum-cutoff regularization. We study a single supermultiplet with cubic and quartic superpotentials. From two-point correlation functions in the IR region, we measure the scaling dimension and the central charge, which are consistent with the conjectured LG description of the $A_2$ and $A_3$ minimal models, respectively. Our result supports the theoretical conjecture and, at the same time, indicates a possible computational method of correlation functions in the $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT from the LG description.
We study a random matrix model for QCD at finite density via complex Langevin dynamics. This model has a phase transition to a phase with nonzero baryon density. We study the convergence of the algorithm as a function of the quark mass and the chemical potential and focus on two main observables: the baryon density and the chiral condensate. For simulations close to the chiral limit, the algorithm has wrong convergence properties when the quark mass is in the spectral domain of the Dirac operator. A possible solution of this problem is discussed.
We compute the isospin susceptibility in an effective O($n$) scalar field theory (in $d=4$ dimensions), to third order in chiral perturbation theory ($chi$PT) in the delta--regime using the quantum mechanical rotator picture. This is done in the presence of an additional coupling, involving a parameter $eta$, describing the effect of a small explicit symmetry breaking term (quark mass). For the chiral limit $eta=0$ we demonstrate consistency with our previous $chi$PT computations of the finite-volume mass gap and isospin susceptibility. For the massive case by computing the leading mass effect in the susceptibility using $chi$PT with dimensional regularization, we determine the $chi$PT expansion for $eta$ to third order. The behavior of the shape coefficients for long tube geometry obtained here might be of broader interest. The susceptibility calculated from the rotator approximation differs from the $chi$PT result in terms vanishing like $1/ell$ for $ell=L_t/L_stoinfty$. We show that this deviation can be described by a correction to the rotator spectrum proportional to the square of the quadratic Casimir invariant.
