Topological charge and cooling scales in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory

Bernd A. Berg, David A. Clarke

Using Monte Carlo simulations with overrelaxation, we have equilibrated lattices up to , size , for pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action. We calcul…

Estimates of Scaling Violations for Pure SU(2) LGT

Bernd A. Berg, David Clarke

We investigate the approach of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action to its continuum limit using the deconfining transition, Luescher's gradient flow, and the coo…

Deconfinement, gradient and cooling scales for pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory

Bernd A. Berg, David A. Clarke

We investigate the approach of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action to its continuum limit using the deconfining phase transition, the gradient flow and the cooli…

A brief history of the introduction of generalized ensembles to Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations

Bernd A Berg

The most efficient weights for Markov chain Monte Carlo calculations of physical observables are not necessarily those of the canonical ensemble. Generalized ensembles, which do no…

Asymptotic scaling and continuum limit of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory

Bernd A. Berg

Recently the Yang-Mills gradient flow of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory has been calculated in the range from to~7.5 (Asakawa et al.), where is the bare co…

Least square fitting with one parameter less

Bernd A. Berg

It is shown that whenever the multiplicative normalization of a fitting function is not known, least square fitting by minimization can be performed with one parameter less t…
