Continuous Time Monte Carlo for Lattice QCD in the Strong Coupling Limit

Abstract

We present results for lattice QCD in the limit of infinite gauge coupling, obtained from a worm-type Monte Carlo algorithm on a discrete spatial lattice but with continuous Euclidean time. This is obtained by sending both the anisotropy parameter gamma^2 \sim a/a_t and the number of time-slices N_τto infinity, keeping the ratio γ^2/N_τ\sim aT fixed. The obvious gain is that no continuum extrapolation N_τ-> \infty has to be carried out. Moreover, the algorithm is faster and the sign problem disappears. We compare our computations with those on discrete lattices. We determine the phase diagram as a function of temperature and baryon chemical potential.
