Intrinsic volumes of inscribed random polytopes in smooth convex bodies
Let be a dimensional convex body with a twice continuously
differentiable boundary and everywhere positive Gauss-Kronecker curvature.
Denote by the convex hull of points chosen randomly and independently
from according to the uniform distribution. Matching lower and upper bounds
are obtained for the orders of magnitude of the variances of the -th
intrinsic volumes of for . Furthermore,
strong laws of large numbers are proved for the intrinsic volumes of . The
essential tools are the Economic Cap Covering Theorem of B\'ar\'any and Larman,
and the Efron-Stein jackknife inequality
Electroweak phase transition by four dimensional simulations
The finite temperature phase transition in the SU(2)-Higgs model at a Higgs
boson mass GeV is studied in numerical simulations on four
dimensional lattices with time-like extensions up to . is
extrapolated to the continuum limit and a comparison with the perturbative
prediction is made. A one-loop calculation to the coupling anisotropies of the
SU(2)-Higgs model on lattices with asymmetric lattice spacings is presented.
Our numerical simulations show that the above perturbative result is applicable
in the phenomenologically interesting parameter region.Comment: 3 pages, Latex, 3 figures, Talk presented at LATTICE96(electroweak)

Upper bound on the cutoff in lattice Electroweak theory
We investigate numerically lattice Weinberg - Salam model without fermions
for realistic values of the fine structure constant and the Weinberg angle. We
also analyze the data of the previous numerical investigations of lattice
Electroweak theory. We have found that moving along the line of constant
physics when the lattice spacing is decreased, one should leave the
physical Higgs phase of the theory at a certain value of . Our estimate of
the minimal value of the lattice spacing is .Comment: Latex, 21 pages, 3 figures, to appear in JHE
Topology with Dynamical Overlap Fermions
We perform dynamical QCD simulations with overlap fermions by hybrid
Monte-Carlo method on to lattices. We study the problem of
topological sector changing. A new method is proposed which works without
topological sector changes. We use this new method to determine the topological
susceptibility at various quark masses.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure
Numerical tests of the electroweak phase transition and thermodynamics of the electroweak plasma
The finite temperature phase transition in the SU(2) Higgs model at a Higgs
boson mass GeV is studied in numerical simulations on
four-dimensional lattices with time-like extensions up to . The effects
of the finite volume and finite lattice spacing on masses and couplings are
studied in detail. The errors due to uncertainties in the critical hopping
parameter are estimated. The thermodynamics of the electroweak plasma near the
phase transition is investigated by determining the relation between energy
density and pressure.Comment: latex2e, 32 pages, 11 figures with epsfig; A few comments and a new

Lattice QCD at non-vanishing density: phase diagram, equation of state
We propose a method to study lattice QCD at non-vanishing temperature (T) and
chemical potential (\mu). We use n_f=2+1 dynamical staggered quarks with
semi-realistic masses on L_t=4 lattices. The critical endpoint (E) of QCD on
the Re(\mu)-T plane is located. We calculate the pressure (p), the energy
density (\epsilon) and the baryon density (n_B) of QCD at non-vanishing T and
\mu.Comment: Contributed to Workshop on Strong and Electroweak Matter (SEWM 2002),
