The Static Potential with Hypercubic Blocking
A. Hasenfratz, R. Hoffmann, F. Knechtli
We measure the static potential from Wilson loops constructed using hypercubic blocked (HYP) links. The HYP potential agrees with the potential measured using thin links for distan…
Simulating dynamical fermions with smeared links
A. Hasenfratz, F. Knechtli
Smearing the gauge links of dynamical configurations removes small scale unphysical vacuum fluctuations and thus improves the chiral properties of lattice fermions. Recently we pro…
Two Flavors of Staggered Fermions with Smeared Links
Anna Hasenfratz, Francesco Knechtli
Staggered fermions with smeared links can have greatly improved chiral properties. In a recent paper we introduced a simple and effective method to simulate four flavors of stagger…
Four Flavor Finite Temperature Phase Transition with HYP Action: Where is the First Order Phase Transition Line?
A. Hasenfratz, F. Knechtli
We study the finite temperature phase transition of four flavor staggered fermions with hypercubic fat link actions on N_t=4 and N_t=6 temporal lattices. Our fat links are construc…
