Three topics in the Schwinger model
Ph. de Forcrand, J. E. Hetrick, T. Takaishi +1
1. We compare Monte Carlo results with analytic predictions for the fermion condensate, in the massive one-flavour Schwinger model. 2. We illustrate on the Schwinger model how to f…
A simple ansatz to describe thermodynamic quantities of peptides and proteins at low temperatures
Ulrich H. E. Hansmann, Philippe de Forcrand
We describe a simple ansatz to approximate the low temperature behavior of proteins and peptides by a mean-field-like model which is analytically solvable. For a small peptide some…
Smeared Gauge Fixing
J. E. Hetrick, Ph. de Forcrand
We present a new method of gauge fixing to standard lattice Landau gauge, Max Re Tr , in which the link configuration is recursively smeared; these smeared links…
One-flavour QCD at finite temperature
C. Alexandrou, A. Borici, A. Feo +4
We present results, for heavy to moderate quark masses, of a study of thermodynamic properties of 1-flavour QCD, using the multiboson algorithm. Finite-size scaling behaviour is st…
Topology of full QCD
Ph. de Forcrand, M. Garcia Perez, J. E. Hetrick +1
We study topological properties of SU(3) gauge theory using improved cooling. In the absence of fermions, we measure a topological susceptibility of and an instant…
Topology of the SU(2) vacuum: a lattice study using improved cooling
Philippe de Forcrand, Margarita Garcia Perez, Ion-Olimpiu Stamatescu
We study the topological structure of the SU(2) vacuum at zero temperature: topological susceptibility, size, shape and distance distributions of the instantons. We use a cooling a…
