Fermionic fields in the pseudoparticle approach
The pseudoparticle approach is a numericalmethod to compute path integrals without discretizing spacetime. The basic idea is to consider only those field configurations, which can be represented as a linear superposition of a small number of localized building blocks (pseudoparticles), and to replace the functional integration by an integration over the pseudoparticle degrees of freedom. In previous papers we have successfully applied the pseudoparticle approach to SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. In this work we discuss the inclusion of fermionic fields in the pseudoparticle approach. To test our method, we compute the phase diagram of the 1+1-dimensional Gross-Neveu model in the large-N limit as well as the chiral condensate in the crystal phase
Forces between static-light mesons
The isospin, spin and parity dependent potential of a pair of static-light
mesons is computed using Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD with two flavors of
degenerate dynamical quarks. From the results a simple rule can be deduced
stating, which isospin, spin and parity combinations correspond to attractive
and which to repulsive forces.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, talk given at the XXVIII International Symposium

Properties of confining gauge field configurations in the pseudoparticle approach
The pseudoparticle approach is a numerical method to approximate path
integrals in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. Path integrals are computed by summing
over all gauge field configurations, which can be represented by a linear
superposition of a small number of pseudoparticles with amplitudes and color
orientations as degrees of freedom. By comparing different pseudoparticle
ensembles we determine properties of confining gauge field configurations. Our
results indicate the importance of long range interactions between
pseudoparticles and of non trivial topological properties.Comment: Talk given at Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum VII, Ponta

Static-static-light-light tetraquarks in lattice QCD
I report on a lattice computation of the energy of a system of two light
quarks and two static antiquarks as a function of the separation of the static
antiquarks. In terms of hadrons such a system corresponds to a pair of B mesons
and its energy to the hadronic potential. I present selected results for
different isospin, spin and parity combinations of the individual B mesons
mainly focusing on those channels relevant to determine, whether two B mesons
may form a bound tetraquark state.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, talk given at "Excited QCD 2011", February 20-25

Definitions of a static SU(2) color triplet potential
We discuss possibilities and problems to non-perturbatively define and compute a static color triplet potential in SU(2) gauge theory. Numerical lattice results are presented and compared to analytical perturbative results
Strange and charm meson masses from twisted mass lattice QCD
We present first results of a 2+1+1 flavor twisted mass lattice QCD computation of strange and charm meson masses. We focus on D and D_s mesons with spin J = 0,1 and parity P = -,+
The adjoint potential in the pseudoparticle approach: string breaking and Casimir scaling
We perform a detailed study of the adjoint static potential in the
pseudoparticle approach, which is a model for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. We find
agreement with the Casimir scaling hypothesis and there is clear evidence for
string breaking. At the same time the potential in the fundamental
representation is linear for large separations. Our results are in qualitative
agreement with results from lattice computations.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, talk given at "Quark Confinement and the Hadron

The pseudoparticle approach for solving path integrals in gauge theories
We present a numerical technique for calculating path integrals in
non-compact U(1) and SU(2) gauge theories. The gauge fields are represented by
a superposition of pseudoparticles of various types with their amplitudes and
color orientations as degrees of freedom. Applied to Maxwell theory this
technique results in a potential which is in excellent agreement with the
Coulomb potential. For SU(2) Yang-Mills theory the same technique yields clear
evidence of confinement. Varying the coupling constant exhibits the same
scaling behavior for the string tension, the topological susceptibility and the
critical temperature while their dimensionless ratios are similar to those
obtained in lattice calculations.Comment: Talk presented at Lattice 2005 (Topology and Confinement), 6 pages, 4
