Irreversible Markov chains in spin models: Topological excitations
Ze Lei, Werner Krauth
We analyze the convergence of the irreversible event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm for continuous spin models in the presence of topological excitations. In the two-dimensional XY mo…

Solid--liquid transition of skyrmions in a two-dimensional chiral magnet
Yoshihiko Nishikawa, Koji Hukushima, Werner Krauth
We study the melting of skyrmions in a two-dimensional Heisenberg chiral magnet with bi-axial Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interactions. These topological excitations may form at zero te…

Irreversible local Markov chains with rapid convergence towards equilibrium
Sebastian C. Kapfer, Werner Krauth
We study the continuous one-dimensional hard-sphere model and present irreversible local Markov chains that mix on faster time scales than the reversible heatbath or Metropolis alg…
