چکیده

This is the write-up of three lectures on algorithms for dynamical fermions that were given at the ILFTN workshop ‘Perspectives in Lattice QCD’ in Nara during November 2005. The first lecture is on the fundamentals of Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods and introduces the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm and symplectic integrators; the second lecture covers topics in approximation theory and thereby introduces the Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm and ways of evading integrator instabilities by means of multiple pseudofermion fields; the third lecture introduces on-shell chiral (Ginsparg–Wilson) lattice fermions and discusses five-dimensional formulations for computing fermion propagators for such fermions.

Algorithms for Lattice QCD with Dynamical Fermions

We consider recent progress in algorithms for generating gauge field configurations that include the dynamical effects of light fermions. We survey what has been achieved in recent state-of-the-art computations, and examine the trade-offs between performance and control of systematic errors. We briefly review the use of polynomial and rational approximations in Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithms, an...

Advanced Algorithms for the Simulation of Gauge Theories with Dynamical Fermionic Degrees of Freedom

The topic of this thesis is the numerical simulation of quantum chromodynamics including dynamical fermions. Two major problems of most simulation algorithms that deal with dynamical fermions are (i) their restriction to only two mass-degenerate quarks, and (ii) their limitation to relatively heavy masses. Realistic simulations of quantum chromodynamics, however, require the inclusion of three ...

Multi-Step stochastic correction in dynamical fermion updating algorithms

The advantages of using Multi-Step corrections for simulations of lattice gauge theories with dynamical fermions will be discussed. This technique is suited for algorithms based on the MultiBoson representation of the dynamical fermions as well as for the Hybrid Monte-Carlo (HMC) algorithm and variants of the latter, like the Polynomial-HMC. Especially the latter has the power to deal with an o...
