Higher Order Hybrid Monte Carlo at Finite Temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
The standard hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm uses the second order integrator at the molecular dynamics step. This choice of the integrator is not always the best. We study the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for lattice QCD with higher order integrators in both zero and finite temperature phases and find that in the finite temperature phase the performance of the algorithm can be raised by use of the 4th order integrator.

Simulations of one-flavor QCD at finite temperature by RHMC
We simulate one-flavor QCD with standard Wilson fermions at finite temperature by the rational hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. In the heavy quark region when we decrease the quark mass there is an endpoint which terminates the first order phase transition. We try to locate it by calculating the Binder cumulant of the Polyakov loop norm. We estimate the end-point to be κ c ∼ 0.07 − 0.08.
متن کاملThe Four-fermi Model in Three Dimensions at Non-zero Density and Temperature
The Four Fermi model with discrete chiral symmetry is studied in three dimensions at nonzero chemical potential and temperature using the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. The number of fermion flavors is chosen large (Nf = 12) to compare with analytic results. A first order chiral symmetry restoring transition is found at zero temperature with a critical chemical potential μc in good agreement wit...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Mott Transition in the Hubbard Model in Infinite Dimensions
We study the second order finite temperature Mott transition point in the fully frustrated Hubbard model at half filling, within dynamical mean field theory. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations and analytical arguments, we show the existence of a finite temperature second order critical point by explicitly demonstrating the existence of a divergent susceptibility as well as by finding coexist...
متن کاملChoice of Integrator in the Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm
We study efficiency of higher order integrator schemes for the hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm. Numerical tests are performed for Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) with two flavors of Wilson fermions. We compare 2nd, 4th and 6th order integrators at various quark masses. The performance depends on both volume and quark mass. On currently accessible large lattices ( V ∼ 24 ), higher order integra...
متن کاملThe Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm
The past few years have seen considerable progress in algorithmic development for the generation of gauge fields including the effects of dynamical fermions. The Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm, where Hybrid Monte Carlo is performed using a rational approximation in place the usual inverse quark matrix kernel is one of these developments. This algorithm has been found to be extreme...
