Advanced Algorithms for the Simulation of Gauge Theories with Dynamical Fermionic Degrees of Freedom
arXiv:hep-lat/0304016
Abstract
This thesis is focused on the implementation and the application of a novel kind of algorithm which is expected to overcome the limitations of older schemes. This new algorithm is named Multiboson Method. It allows to simulate an arbitrary number of dynamical fermion flavors, which can in principle have different masses. It will be shown that it exhibits better scaling properties for light fermions than other methods. Therefore, it has the potential to become the method of choice.
