Subset method for one-dimensional QCD

Abstract

We present a subset method which solves the sign problem for QCD at nonzero quark chemical potential in 0+1 dimensions. The subsets gather gauge configurations based on the center symmetry of the SU(3) group. We show that the sign problem is solved for one to five quark flavors and that it slowly reappears for a larger number of flavors. We formulate an extension of the center subsets that solves the sign problem for a larger number of flavors as well. We also derive some new analytical results for this toy model.
