Invariance of the Cuntz splice

We show that the Cuntz splice induces stably isomorphic graph $C^*$-algebras.Comment: Our arguments to prove invariance of the Cuntz splice for unital graph C*-algebras in arXiv:1505.06773 applied with only minor changes in the general case. Since most of the results of that preprint have since been superseded by other forthcoming work, we do not intend to publish it, whereas this work is intended for publication. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1505.0677

Simplicial gauge theory and quantum gauge theory simulation

We propose a general formulation of simplicial lattice gauge theory inspired by the finite element method. Numerical tests of convergence towards continuum results are performed for several SU(2) gauge fields. Additionaly, we perform simplicial Monte Carlo quantum gauge field simulations involving measurements of the action as well as differently sized Wilson loops as functions of $\beta$.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figure
