Dynamics of a Local Algorithm for Simulating Coulomb Interactions

arXiv:cond-mat/0111272 · doi:10.1063/1.1487821

Abstract

Charged systems interacting via Coulomb forces can be efficiently simulated by introducing a local, diffusing degree of freedom for the electric field. This paper formulates the continuum electrodynamic equations corresponding to the algorithm and studies the spectrum of fluctuations when these equations are coupled to mobile charges. I compare the calculations with simulations of a charged lattice gas, and study the dynamics of charge and density fluctuations. The algorithm can be understood as a realization of a mechanical model of the ether.
