Computational Aspects of Lattice QCD
Tereza Mendes
Monte Carlo simulations applied to the lattice formulation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) enable a study of the theory from first principles, in a nonperturbative way. After over…
Parallel implementation of a lattice-gauge-theory code: studying quark confinement on PC clusters
Attilio Cucchieri, Tereza Mendes, Gonzalo Travieso +1
We consider the implementation of a parallel Monte Carlo code for high-performance simulations on PC clusters with MPI. We carry out tests of speedup and efficiency. The code is us…
Finite-size scaling for two-flavor QCD and comparison with O(N) models
Tereza Mendes
The chiral transition for two-flavor QCD is predicted to be in the same universality class as the 3d O(4) model. This prediction is verified in the Wilson case, but not for the sta…
Gauge fixing and gluon propagator in lambda-gauges
Attilio Cucchieri, Tereza Mendes
We discuss critical slowing-down of several gauge-fixing algorithms for the so-called lambda-gauges in the SU(2) case at zero temperature. For these gauges we also evaluate the glu…
Pseudo-Character Expansions for U(N)-Invariant Spin Models on CP^{N-1}
Attilio Cucchieri, Tereza Mendes, Andrea Pelissetto
We define a set of orthogonal functions on the complex projective space CP^{N-1}, and compute their Clebsch-Gordan coefficients as well as a large class of 6-j symbols. We also pro…
