Strong-Coupling Lattice QCD on Anisotropic Lattices
Philippe de Forcrand, Wolfgang Unger, Helvio Vairinhos
Anisotropic lattice spacings are mandatory to reach the high temperatures where chiral symmetry is restored in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD. Here, we propose a simple c…
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,…
Lattice gauge theory without link variables
Helvio Vairinhos, Philippe de Forcrand
We obtain a sequence of alternative representations for the partition function of pure SU(N) or U(N) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson plaquette action, using the method of Hubb…
Large reduction in deformed Yang-Mills theories
Helvio Vairinhos
We explore, at the nonperturbative level, the large equivalence between ordinary Yang-Mills theory on and on with double-trace…
Phase transitions in center-stabilized lattice gauge theories
Helvio Vairinhos
We simulate four-dimensional center-stabilized lattice Yang-Mills theories on R^3 x S^1 with a newly developed pseudo-heatbath algorithm. We analyze the phase structure of such the…
