Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | Summary:We design a lattice model of a "mixed" U(1) gauge field coupled to fermions with a flavor chemical potential and solve it with large-scale determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In this mixed construction, dynamical magnetic monopole events are suppressed in the temporal-continuum limit. For zero flavor chemical potential, the model […]
