Proposal for Topologically Unquenched QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
A proposal is presented for simulating an improvement on quenched QCD with dynamical fermions which interact with the gluon configuration only via the topological index of the latter. Strengths and shortcomings of the method are discussed and it is argued that the approximation – though being crude – shares some qualitative aspects of full QCD which relate to the issue of chiral symmetry breaking.

Prospects of ‘Topologically Unquenched QCD’ from a study of the analogous importance sampling method in the massive Schwinger model
I give a quick summary of my proposal for simulating an improvement on quenched QCD with dynamical fermions which interact with the gluon configuration only via the topological index of the latter. It amounts to include only the topological part of the functional determinant into the measure, thereby absorbing a correction factor into the observable. I discuss the prospects of this concept from...
متن کاملTopologically Unquenched QCD: Prospects from an explorative study in 2-flavour-QED(2)
The concept of simulating a variant of QCD with sea quarks which interact with the gluon configuration only via global gluonic quantities like ∫ FF̃ dx and ∫ FF dx is tested for the case of the massive 2-flavour Schwinger model. It is found to amount to an importance sampling method which generates –at essentially the costs of a quenched run– an ensemble in between a full and a quenched one, thu...
متن کاملUnquenched QCD simulation results
The recent progress on unquenched QCD simulations is critically reviewed. After some discussions on problems and subtleties in unquenched simulations, hadron spectra obtained from both quenched and unquenched simulations are compared among various gauge and quark actions. It is found that the Edinburgh plot does not agree in the continuum limit between Wilson and KS quark actions even in quench...
متن کاملComputing Electromagnetic Effects in Fully Unquenched QCD
The inclusion of electromagnetic effects in unquenched QCD can be accomplished using ensembles generated in dynamical simulations with pure QCD provided the change in the quark determinant induced by a weak electromagnetic field can be efficiently computed. A stochastic technique for achieving this in the case of dynamical domain wall calculations is described.
متن کاملAn estimate of the chiral condensate from unquenched lattice QCD
Using the parameters in the chiral Lagrangian obtained by MILC from their unquenched lattice QCD calculations with 2+1 flavours of sea quarks, I estimate the chiral condensate. I obtain the result 〈ψψ〉(2 GeV)/nf = −(259 ± 27 MeV) in the MS scheme. I compare this value to other determinations.
