New Lattice Chiral Symmetry for 1+1d Staggered Fermions

This conference talk by Shu Heng Shao from MIT explores a new lattice chiral symmetry for one-dimensional staggered fermions. Dive into the complex world of strongly interacting Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and its applications across physical systems. Learn how Lattice Gauge Theory has evolved into a precision tool through improved algorithms, theoretical insights, and computational power. The presentation examines the interplay between lattice and continuum approaches to QFT, covering topics such as Euclidean and Hamiltonian approaches to lattice field theory, their symmetries, and connections with quantum simulation. Discover how these concepts relate to string-theoretic approaches to confining flux tubes, dynamics in Minkowski spacetime, lower-dimensional QCD models, and recent developments in formal QFT like generalized symmetries. This 45-minute talk is part of a conference co-sponsored by the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings and coordinated by Aleksey Cherman, Lance Dixon, and Igor Klebanov at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
