Supermultiplets in N=1 SUSY SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

We study $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) on the lattice. The non-perturbative nature of supersymmetric field theories is still largely unknown. Similarly to QCD, SYM is confining and contains strongly bound states. Applying the variational method together with different smearing techniques we extract masses of the lightest bound states such as gluino-glue, glueball and mesonic states. As these states should form supermultiplets, this study allows to check whether SYM remains supersymmetric also on the quantum level.

Improved results for the mass spectrum of N=1 supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory

This talk summarizes the results of the DESY-Münster collaboration for $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the gauge group SU(3). It is an updated status report with respect to our preliminary data presented at the last conference. In order to control the lattice artefacts we have now considered a clover improved fermion action and different values of the gauge coupling.

Effective Polyakov loop models for QCD-like theories at finite chemical potential

We study genuine finite density effects in QCD-like theories with three-dimensional Polyakov-loop effective theories for heavy quarks. These are derived from the full QCD-like theories by combined strong-coupling and hopping expansions. In particular, we investigate the cold and dense regimes of phase diagrams where we expect to find Bose-Einstein-condensation of diquark baryons or a fermionic first-order liquid-gas transition, depending on the gauge group of the theory. In two-color QCD, for example, we observe evidence of a continuous zero-temperature transition to finite diquark density when the quark chemical potential $μ$ reaches half the diquark mass, i.e. without binding energy. In G$_2$-QCD we observe, in addition to this "Silver Blaze" onset of diquark density, a second transition in the density towards an exponential increase by roughly $3μ/T$ corresponding to a finite density of G$_2$-nucleons.

Baryonic Matter Onset in Two-Color QCD with Heavy Quarks

We study the cold and dense regime in the phase diagram of two-color QCD with heavy quarks within a three-dimensional effective theory for Polyakov loops. This theory is derived from two-color QCD in a combined strong-coupling and hopping expansion. In particular, we study the onset of diquark density as the finite-density transition of the bosonic baryons in the two-color world. In contrast to previous studies of heavy dense QCD, our zero-temperature extrapolations are consistent with a continuous transition without binding energy. They thus provide evidence that the effective theory for heavy quarks is capable of describing the characteristic differences between diquark condensation in two-color QCD and the liquid-gas transition of nuclear matter in QCD.

Effective SU(2) Polyakov Loop Theories with Heavy Quarks on the Lattice

We compare SU(2) Polyakov loop models with different effective actions with data from full two-color QCD simulations around and above the critical temperature. We then apply the effective theories at finite temperature and density to extract quantities like Polyakov loop correlators, effective Polyakov loop potentials and baryon density.

Fractional Charge and Confinement of Quarks

In quantum chromodynamics with static quarks the confinement-deconfinement phase transition is connected to the spontaneous breaking of the global Z3 center symmetry. This symmetry is lost when one considers dynamical quarks. Owing to the fractional electric charge of quarks, we recover a global Z6 center symmetry when QCD is regarded as a part of the Standard Model. We present results from QCD-like theories extended by electromagnetic interactions and show that the weak coupling limit of the QED part of the model results in a center-like symmetry with disorder in the vacuum. This can be seen explicitly in a character expansion of the fermion determinant. Further, we show that corresponding center averages project the fermion determinant on N-ality zero and discuss whether the additional center symmetry can be used to eliminate the fermion sign problem in QCD with fundamental quarks.
