Lattice Simulations of Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theories
We give a brief pedagogical introduction to Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations of statistical systems and the basics of the φ quantum field theory. We show how to treat φ theory as a statistical system in Euclidean space and perform lattice simulations using both local and cluster Monte Carlo algorithms. We then present the details and results of simulations of φ theory on the lattice in whic...
متن کاملWilson Renormalization Group and Continuum Effective Field Theories
This is an elementary introduction to Wilson renormalization group and continuum effective field theories. We first review the idea of Wilsonian effective theory and derive the flow equation in a form that allows multiple insertion of operators in Green functions. Then, based on this formalism, we prove decoupling and heavy-mass factorization theorems, and discuss how the continuum effective fi...
متن کاملSymplectic Structures and Continuum Lattice Formulations of Gauge Field Theories
Interesting non-linear functions on the phase spaces of classical field theories can never be quantized immediately because the basic fields of the theory become operator valued distributions. Therefore, one is usually forced to find a classical substitute for such a function depending on a regulator which is expressed in terms of smeared quantities and which can be quantized in a well-defined ...
متن کاملNew Numerical Methods for Quantum Field Theories on the Continuum ∗
The Source Galerkin Method is a new numerical technique that is being developed to solve Quantum Field Theories on the continuum. It is not based on Monte Carlo techniques and has a measure to evaluate relative errors. It promises to increase the accuracy and speed of calculations, and takes full advantage of symmetries of the theory. The application of this method to the non-linear σ model is ...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of PT-symmetric quantum field theories
Many non-Hermitian but PT-symmetric theories are known to have a real positive spectrum. Since the action is complex for these theories, Monte Carlo methods do not apply. In this paper the first field-theoretic method for numerical simulations of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians is presented. The method is the complex Langevin equation, which was used previously to study complex Hamiltonians in statis...
