Progress on lattice QCD algorithms
Philippe de Forcrand
I review recent progress on algorithms for calculating quark propagators and for simulating full QCD.
Topological susceptibility and Instanton size distribution from over-improved cooling
Philippe de Forcrand, Seyong Kim
We measure the topological susceptibility by cooling with an over-improved action. In contrast with usual cooling, large instantons survive over-improved cooling {\em indefinitely}…
Variants of Lüscher's fermion algorithm
Artan Boriçi, Philippe de Forcrand
We study improved variants of Lüscher's algorithm, including the cases of staggered fermions and finite density.
Improved cooling algorithm for gauge theories
Philippe de Forcrand, Margarita Garcia Perez, Ion-Olimpiu Stamatescu
We propose and study a ``gold-washing" - type of algorithm which smooths out the short range fluctuations but leaves invariant instantons above a certain size. The algorithm needs…
Full QCD with the Lüscher local bosonic action
C. Alexandrou, A. Borrelli, Ph. de Forcrand +2
We investigate Lüscher's method of including dynamical Wilson fermions in a lattice simulation of QCD with two quark flavours. We measure the accuracy of the approximation by compa…
Systematic errors of Lüscher's fermion method and its extensions
Artan Boriçi, Philippe de Forcrand
We study the systematic errors of Lüscher's formulation of dynamical Wilson quarks and some of its variants, in the weak and strong coupling limits, and on a sample of small config…
Determination of the renormalized heavy-quark mass in Lattice QCD
A. Bochkarev, Ph. de Forcrand
We study on the lattice the correlator of heavy-quark currents in the vicinity of vanishing momentum. The renormalized charmed quark mass, the renormalized strong coupling constant…
