Trivializing maps, the Wilson flow and the HMC algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
In lattice gauge theory, there exist field transformations that map the theory to the trivial one, where the basic field variables are completely decoupled from one another. Such maps can be constructed systematically by integrating certain flow equations in field space. The construction is worked out in some detail and it is proposed to combine the Wilson flow (which generates approximately trivializing maps for the Wilson gauge action) with the HMC simulation algorithm in order to improve the efficiency of lattice QCD simulations.

Non-Hermitian Polynomial Hybrid Monte Carlo
In this thesis algorithmic improvements and variants for two-flavor lattice QCD simulations with dynamical fermions are studied using the O(a) improved Dirac-Wilson operator in the Schrödinger functional setup and employing a hybrid Monte Carlo-type (HMC) update. Both, the Hermitian and the Non-Hermitian operator are considered. For the Hermitian Dirac-Wilson operator we investigate the advanta...
متن کاملAlgorithms towards the Chiral Limit
I discuss the behaviour of algorithms for dynamical fermions as the sea-quark mass decreases. I focus on the Hybrid-Monte-Carlo (HMC) algorithm applied to two degenerate flavours of Wilson fermions. First, I briefly review the performance obtained in large scale HMC simulations. Then I discuss a modified pseudo-fermion action for the HMC simulation that has been introduced three years ago. I su...

We compare the CPU cost of HMC to various implementations of the Hermitean variant of Lüscher's local bosonic algorithm (LBA) for 2D massive QED with two flavours of Wilson fermions. We carefully scan a 3-dimensional parameter subspace and find flat behaviour around the optimum. The gain factor of the LBA, as compared to HMC, is slightly smaller for the Re-weighting method than for the Metropol...
متن کاملSpeeding up the HMC algorithm: Some new results
We give some new performance results for the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) simulation of dynamical clover-improved Wilson fermions using an improved pseudo-fermion action. The generalisation of even-odd preconditioning for the standard Wilson fermion matrix to the clover-improved case is not unique. In the literature the so called symmetric and asymmetric versions are discussed. Most of the previous...
متن کاملSchwarz-preconditioned HMC algorithm for two-flavour lattice QCD
The combination of a non-overlapping Schwarz preconditioner and the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm is shown to yield an efficient simulation algorithm for two-flavour lattice QCD with Wilson quarks. Extensive tests are performed, on lattices of size up to 32×24, with lattice spacings a ≃ 0.08 fm and at bare current-quark masses as low as 21MeV.
