Hybrid Monte Carlo and topological modes of full QCD

چکیده
We investigate the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm, the standard algorithm used for lattice QCD simulations involving fermions, in updating non-trivial global topological structures. We find that the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm has serious problems decorrelating the global topological charge. This represents a warning which must be seriously considered when simulating full QCD by hybrid Monte Carlo.

Decorrelating the topology in full QCD
We investigate the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm in updating non-trivial global topological structures. We find that the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm has serious problems decorrelating the global topological charge. This represents a warning which must be seriously considered when simulating full QCD, regardless of the number and type of fermions, with this or any similar algo...
متن کاملDecorrelation of the Topological Charge in Tempered Simulations of Full Qcd
The improvement of simulations of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions by combining the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm with parallel tempering is studied. As an indicator for decorrelation the topological charge is used.

Topology on the lattice is reviewed. In quenched QCD topological susceptibility χ is fully understood. The Witten-Veneziano mechanism for the η ′ mass is confirmed. The topological susceptibility drops to zero at the deconfining phase transition. Preliminary results are also presented for χ and χ ′ in full QCD, and for the spin content of the proton. The only problem there is the difficulty of ...
متن کاملTopology with Dynamical Overlap Fermions
We perform dynamical QCD simulations with nf = 2 overlap fermions by hybrid Monte-Carlo method on 64 to 83 × 16 lattices. We study the problem of topological sector changing. A new method is proposed which works without topological sector changes. We use this new method to determine the topological susceptibility at various quark masses.
متن کاملCritical slowing down of topological modes
We investigate the critical slowing down of the topological modes using local updating algorithms in lattice 2-d CP models. We show that the topological modes experience a critical slowing down that is much more severe than the one of the quasi-Gaussian modes relevant to the magnetic susceptibility, which is characterized by τmag ∼ ξ z with z ≈ 2. We argue that this may be a general feature of ...
