Spontaneous Breaking of Flavor Symmetry and Parity in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model with Wilson Fermions
We study the lattice \njl~model with two flavors of Wilson fermions in the large $N$ limit, where $N$ is the number of `colors'. For large values of the four-fermion coupling we find a phase in which both, flavor symmetry and parity, are spontaneously broken. In accordance with general expectations there are three mass...

Series studies of the Potts model. III: The 3-state model on the simple cubic lattice
The finite lattice method of series expansion has been used to extend low-temperature series for the partition function, order parameter and susceptibility of the $3$-state Potts model on the simple cubic lattice to order $z^{43}$ and the high-temperature expansion of the partition function to order $v^{21}$.

Quenched Staggered Spectrum at Beta=6.0, 6.2 and 6.4

Because of the relatively small number of configurations we pay marginally more attention to the question of statistics ...

Gauge Invariance and Confinement in Noncompact Simulations of SU(2)
Wilson loops have been measured at strong coupling, $\beta=0.5$, on a $12^4$ lattice in a noncompact simulation of pure SU(2) in which random compact gauge transformations impose a kind of lattice gauge invariance. The Wilson loops suggest a confining potential.

Determination of ${\bf f(\infty)}$ from the Asymptotic Series for ${\bf f(x)}$ About ${\bf x=0}$
A difficult and long-standing problem in mathematical physics concerns the determination of the value of $f(\infty)$ from the asymptotic series for $f(x)$ about $x\!=\!0$. In the past the approach has been to convert the asymptotic series to a sequence of Pad\'e approximants $\{P^n_n(x)\}$ and then to evaluate these ap...

Bosonization and the lattice Gross-Neveu model
We consider a lattice version of the bosonized Gross-Neveu model. It is explicitely chiral symmetric and its numerical simulation does not involve any anticommuting field. We study its non trivial $1/N$ expansion up to the next-to-leading term comparing the results with explicit numerical simulations.
