The Deconfinement Phase Transition in One-Flavour QCD
Constantia Alexandrou, Artan Boriçi, Alessandra Feo +4
We present a study of the deconfinement phase transition of one-flavour QCD, using the multiboson algorithm. The mass of the Wilson fermions relevant for this study is moderately l…
Monte Carlo Quasi-Heatbath by approximate inversion
Ph. de Forcrand
When sampling the distribution P(phi) ~ exp(-|A phi|^2), a global heatbath normally proceeds by solving the linear system A phi = eta, where eta is a normal Gaussian vector, exactl…
Effects of Chemical Potential on Hadron Masses at Finite Temperature
TARO Collaboration, Ph. de Forcrand, M. Garcia Perez +8
We study the effects of the chemical potential on the meson mass at finite temperature. Our preliminary results show that some effects are seen in the vicinity of the phase tra…
Local topological and chiral properties of QCD
Ph. de Forcrand, M. Garcia Perez, J. E. Hetrick +3
To elucidate the role played by instantons in chiral symmetry breaking, we explore their properties in full QCD, around the critical temperature. We study in particular spatial cor…
Finite Temperature QCD on Anisotropic Lattices
TARO Collaboration, Ph. de Forcrand, M. Garcia Perez +8
We present results for mesonic propagators in temporal and spatial direction and for topological properties at T below and above the deconfining transition in quenched QCD. We use…
UV-filtered fermionic Monte Carlo
Ph. de Forcrand
The short-range modes of the fermionic determinant can be absorbed in the gauge action using the loop expansion. The coefficients of this expansion and the zeroes of the polynomial…
Truncation Effects in Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Improved Lattice Actions
T. Takaishi, Ph. de Forcrand
We study truncation effects in the SU(3) gauge actions obtained by the Monte Carlo renormalization group method. By measuring the heavy quark potential we find that the truncation…
Topological Properties of the QCD Vacuum at T=0 and T ~ T_c
Philippe de Forcrand, Margarita Garcia Perez, James E. Hetrick +1
We study on the lattice the topology of SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills theories at zero temperature and of QCD at temperatures around the phase transition. To smooth out dislocations a…
