Exploiting the hopping parameter expansion in the hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) simulation of lattice QCD with two degenerate flavours of Wilson fermions

Abstract

We show how the hopping parameter expansion at order ${\kappa }^2$ and ${\kappa }^4$ can be exploited in the simulation of lattice QCD with two flavours of degenerate Wilson fermions. A natural extension of this idea is a "UV-filtering" by using rooted polynomials. These approaches can be easily combined with, for example, mass preconditioning. First numerical tests are performed for the Wilson gauge action at $\beta =5.6$ and $\kappa =0.156$ and $0.1575$.
