A global optimization method for Landau gauge fixing in Lattice QCD
An algorithm for gauge fixing to the Landau gauge in the fundamental modular region in lattice QCD is described. The method, a combination of an evolutionary algorithm with a steepest descent method, is able to solve the problem of the nonperturbative gauge fixing. The performance of the combined algorithm is investigated on 8, β = 5.7, and 16, β = 6.0, lattice SU(3) gauge configurations. Latti...
متن کاملImproved Landau Gauge Fixing and Discretisation Errors ∗
Gauge fixing in lattice gauge theory simulations is crucial for many calculations e.g. the study of gauge dependent quantities such as the gluon propagator [1]. However, the standard lattice Landau gauge condition [2] is the same as the continuum condition, ∑ μ ∂μAμ = 0, only to leading order in the lattice spacing, a. The focus of this talk is to use mean-fieldimproved perturbation theory [3] ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Laplacian gauge fixing for U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields.
The Laplacian gauge on the lattice is investigated numerically using U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. The problem of Gribov ambiguities is addressed and to asses the smoothness of the gauge fixed configurations, they are compared to configurations fixed to the Landau gauge. The results of these comparisons with the Landau gauge indicate that Laplacian gauge fixing works very well in practice and of...

We explore the performance of CUDA in performing Landau gauge fixing in Lattice QCD, using the steepest descent method with Fourier acceleration. The code performance was tested in a Tesla C2070, Fermi architecture. We also present a study of the string tension at finite temperature in the confined phase. The string tension is extracted from the color averaged free energy and from the color sin...
