Sum rules regarding the sign problem in Monte Carlo shell model calculations
نویسنده
چکیده
The Monte Carlo shell model is a powerful technique for computational nuclear structure. Only a certain class of nuclear interactions, however, such as pairing and quadrupole, are free of the numerical noise known as the sign problem. This paper presents sum rules that relate the sign problem to the J = 0 pairing matrix elements, thus illuminating the extrapolation procedure routinely used for realistic shell-model interactions.

Complex wave function , Chiral spin order parameter and Phase Problem
We study the two dimensional Hubbard model by use of the ground state algorithm in the Monte Carlo simulation. We employ complex wave functions as trial function in order to have a close look at properties such as chiral spin order (χSO) and flux phase. For half filling, a particle-hole transformation leads to sum rules with respect to the Green’s functions for a certain choice of a set of wave...
متن کاملD ec 1 99 3 Practical solution to the Monte Carlo sign problem : Realistic calculations of 54 Fe
We present a practical solution to the " sign problem " in the auxiliary field Monte Carlo approach to the nuclear shell model. The method is based on extrapolation from a continuous family of problem-free Hamiltonians. To demonstrate the resultant ability to treat large shell-model problems, we present results for 54 Fe in the full f p-shell basis using the Brown-Richter interaction. We find t...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Methods for Nuclei at Finite Temperature
We discuss finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo methods in the framework of the interacting nuclear shell model. The methods are based on a representation of the imaginary-time many-body propagator as a superposition of one-body propagators describing non-interacting fermions moving in fluctuating auxiliary fields. Fermionic Monte Carlo calculations have been limited by a “sign” problem. A pr...

We introduce a particle-number reprojection method in the shell model Monte Carlo that enables the calculation of observables for a series of nuclei using a Monte Carlo sampling for a single nucleus. The method is used to calculate nuclear level densities in the complete (pf + g9/2)-shell using a good-sign Hamiltonian. Level densities of odd-A and odd-odd nuclei are reliably extracted despite a...

The shell-model Monte Carlo (SMMC) technique transforms the traditional nuclear shell-model problem into a path-integral over auxiliary fields. We describe below the method and its applications to four physics issues: calculations of sd-pf shell nuclei, a discussion of electron-capture rates in pf -shell nuclei, exploration of pairing correlations in unstable nuclei, and level densities in rare...
