چکیده
The ensemble projector Monte Carlo method is a lattice Monte Carlo method for studying gauge theories with and without Fermions in the Hamiltonian formulat ion. We study the compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with fermions in d = 2 + 1 dimensions. There are matrix elements with positive and negative signs in lattice gauge theories with fermions. As in the case of the Schwinger model, we find the energy expectation values calculated from matrix elements -using the two subsets of configurations with total positive and negative score to agree within the statistical errors to each other as well as to the energy expectation value calculated from average scores. We conclude that this method, which was previously only used in d = 1 + 1 dimensions can indeed be applied to lattice gauge theories with fermions in more than one spatial dimensions.

Ensemble projector Monte Carlo method, studying the lattice Schwinger model in the Hamiltonian formulation.
The ensemble projector Monte Carlo method is a promising method to study lattice gauge theories with fermions in the Hamiltonian formulation. We study the massive Schwinger model and show, that consistent results are obtained in the presence of positive and negative matrix elements. The expectation values for the average energy calculated from matrix elements with negative and positive scores, ...

We carry out preliminary numerical study of Sugino’s lattice formulation [1, 2] of the two-dimensional N = (2, 2) super Yang-Mills theory (2d N = (2, 2) SYM) with the gauge group SU(2). The effect of dynamical fermions is included by re-weighting a quenched ensemble by the pfaffian factor. It appears that the complex phase of the pfaffian due to lattice artifacts and flat directions of the clas...

Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for U(1) lattice gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions on anisotropic lattices. We extract the static quark potential, the string tension and the low-lying “glueball” spectrum. The Euclidean string tension and mass gap decrease exponentially at weak coupling in excellent agreement with the predictions of Polyakov and Göpfert and Mack, but the...
