نویسنده
چکیده
The Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm currently is the favorite scheme to simulate quantum chromodynamics including dynamical fermions. In this talk— which is intended for a non-expert audience—I want to bring together methodical and practical aspects of the HMC for full QCD simulations. I will comment on its merits and shortcomings, touch recent improvements and try to forecast its efficiency and rôle in future full QCD simulations.

We present an exact local bosonic algorithm for the simulation of dynamical fermions in lattice QCD. We show that this algorithm is a viable alternative to the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm.

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 ...

In principle, perturbation theory is unnecessary to solve QCD with lattice methods. Even the short distance calculations relating the lattice action to continuum actions could in principle be done by a → 0, V → ∞ brute force Monte Carlo calculations. In practise, perturbation theory has been essential to the progress of lattice methods. It is much easier and more powerful than Monte Carlo for s...

We present results from our study of the Parallel Tempering algorithm. We examine the swapping acceptance rate of a twin subensemble PT system. We use action matching technology in an attempt to maximise the swap acceptance rate. We model the autocorrelation times within Parallel Tempering ensembles in terms of autocorrelation times from Hybrid Monte Carlo. We present estimates for the autocorr...

We suggest how to construct an effective low energy Hamiltonian via Monte Carlo starting from a given action. We test it by computing thermodynamical observables like average energy and specific heat for simple quantum systems.
