We present a study of the finite density lattice Thirring model in 2 dimensions using the world-line/fermion-bag algorithm. The model has features similar to QCD and provides a test case to explore the accuracy of various
methods to solve sign problems. In the massless limit and with open boundary conditions we show that the sign problem is an artifact of the auxiliary field approach and is comple

We estimate the production rate of photons from the quark-gluon plasma in lattice QCD.
The production of weakly-interacting particles from a strongly-interacting medium has applications to particle cosmology and heavy-ion phenomenology.
We propose a new observable which gives us better control over the systematic uncertainty in estimating the rate at large photon momenta.
The relevant Euclidean

In order to estimate the photon rate from the Euclidean vector current correlation functions, an inverse problem for the vector-channel spectral
function must be solved.
We use both a direct model for the spectral function and a model-independent estimate from the Backus-Gilbert method to give a robust estimate for the photon rate at momenta close to its maximum.
At low photon momenta, the exis

In particular we study the spectra of fermions coupled

In the worldline formulation the particle number of a lattice quantum field theory assumes an elegant topological form: it is the winding number of the worldlines around the compactified time direction. In a numerical

Condensation thresholds and scattering data - a study in the relativistic Bose gas at finite density
We use a dual worldline representation to study the relativistic Bose gas at finite density. At low temperature we identify the thresholds for one- and two-particle condensation. We study these thresholds as a function of

We report on the status of ongoing investigations aiming at: locating the deconfinement critical point with standard Wilson fermions and <I>N<sub>f</sub> = 2</i> flavors towards the continuum limit
(standard Columbia plot); locating the tricritical masses at imaginary chemical potential with unimproved staggered fermions at <I>N<sub>f</sub> = 2</i> (extended Columbia plot); identifying the order

In this report we study the properties of the dense SU(2) QCD. The
lattice simulations are carried out with improved gauge action and
smaller lattice spacing as compared to our previous work. This allowed us to approach closer to the continuum limit and reach larger densities without lattice artifacts. We measured string tension and Polyakov loop as
functions of chemical potential and temperatur
