Good and bad diquark properties and spatial correlations in lattice QCD
Anthony Francis, Philippe De Forcrand, Randy Lewis +1
We study good, bad and not-even-bad diquarks on the lattice in a gauge-invariant formalism in full QCD. We establish their spectral masses with short extrapolations to the physical…
RHMC with Block Solvers and Multiple Pseudofermions
Philippe de Forcrand, Liam Keegan
The dominant cost of most lattice QCD simulations is the inversion of the Dirac operator required to calculate the force term in the RHMC update. One way to improve this situation…
A Worm Algorithm for the Lattice CP(N-1) Model
Tobias Rindlisbacher, Philippe de Forcrand
The CP(N-1) model in 2D is an interesting toy model for 4D QCD as it possesses confinement, asymptotic freedom and a non-trivial vacuum structure. Due to the lower dimensionality a…
Thermodynamics of strongly-coupled lattice QCD in the chiral limit
Philippe de Forcrand, Paul Romatschke, Wolfgang Unger +1
In the strong coupling limit, -point functions in lattice QCD with staggered fermions can be rewritten exactly as sums over constrained configurations of monomers, dimers, and b…
Integrating out lattice gauge fields
Helvio Vairinhos, Philippe de Forcrand
The sign problem is a major obstacle to our understanding of the phase diagram of QCD at finite baryon density. Several numerical methods have been proposed to tackle this problem,…
U(1) lattice gauge theory with a topological action
Oscar Akerlund, Philippe de Forcrand
We investigate the phase diagram of the compact lattice gauge theory in four dimensions using a non-standard action which is invariant under continuous deformations of the p…
