Flux simulation of the SU(3) spin model at finite chemical potential

Abstract

We present a Monte Carlo simulation of an effective theory for local Polyakov loops at finite temperature and density. The sign problem is overcome by mapping the partition sum to a flux representation. We determine the phase diagram of the model as a function of the temperature and the chemical potential.
