Layered Phase Investigations

Abstract

The extra dimensional defects that are introduced to generate the lattice chiral zero modes are not simply a computational trick, but have interesting physical consequences. After reviewing what is known about the layered phase they can generate, I argue how it is possible to simulate Yang-Mills theories with reduced systematic errors and speculate on how it might be possible to study the fluctuations of the layers' topological charge.Comment: 5 pages (LaTeX, PoS class file included); Contribution to the XXV International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory,July 30 - August 4 2007,Regensburg, German
