Ising model universality for two-dimensional lattices
1993
We use the single-cluster Monte Carlo update algorithm to simulate the Ising model on two-dimensional Poissonian random lattices of Delaunay type with up to 80\,000 sites. By applying reweighting techniques and finite-size scaling analyses to time-series data near criticality, we obtain unambiguous support that the critical exponents for the random lattice agree with the exactly known exponents for regular lattices, i.e., that (lattice) universality holds for the two-dimensional Ising model.
Finite-size Scaling of Meson Propagators
2001
Using quenched chiral perturbation theory we compute meson correlation functions at finite volume and fixed gauge field topology. We also present the corresponding analytical predictions for the unquenched theory at fixed gauge field topology. These results can be used to measure the low-energy parameters of the chiral Langrangian from lattice simulations in volumes much smaller than one pion Compton wavelength.
Extraction of K --> pi pi matrix elements with Wilson fermions
2001
We present the status of a lattice calculation for the K-->pipi matrix elements of the (delta S=1) effective weak Hamiltonian, directly with two pion in the final state. We study the energy shift of two pion in a finite volume both in the I=0 and I=2 channels. We explain a method to avoid the Goldstone pole contamination in the computation of renormalization constants for (delta I=3/2) operators. Finally we show some preliminary results for the matrix elements of (delta I=1/2) operators. Our quenched simulation is done at beta=6.0, with Wilson fermions, on a (24^3 X 64) lattice.
Softening Transitions with Quenched 2D Gravity
1996
We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the 10-state Potts model on quenched two-dimensional $\Phi^3$ gravity graphs to study the effect of quenched connectivity disorder on the phase transition, which is strongly first order on regular lattices. The numerical data provides strong evidence that, due to the quenched randomness, the discontinuous first-order phase transition of the pure model is softened to a continuous transition.
Simplicial Quantum Gravity on a Randomly Triangulated Sphere
1999
We study 2D quantum gravity on spherical topologies employing the Regge calculus approach with the dl/l measure. Instead of the normally used fixed non-regular triangulation we study random triangulations which are generated by the standard Voronoi-Delaunay procedure. For each system size we average the results over four different realizations of the random lattices. We compare both types of triangulations quantitatively and investigate how the difference in the expectation value of the squared curvature, $R^2$, for fixed and random triangulations depends on the lattice size and the surface area A. We try to measure the string susceptibility exponents through finite-size scaling analyses of…
Matrix elements of (delta S=2) operators with Wilson fermions
2002
We test the recent proposal of using the Ward identities to compute the K0-K0bar mixing amplitude with Wilson fermions, without the problem of spurious lattice subtractions. From our simulations, we observe no difference between the results obtained with and without subtractions. In addition, from the standard study of the complete set of (delta S=2) operators, we quote the following (preliminary) results (in the MS(NDR) scheme): Bk(2 GeV)=0.70(10), < O7^{3/2}>_{K->pi pi} = 0.10(2)(1) GeV^3, < O8^{3/2}>_{K->pi pi} = 0.49(6)(0) GeV^3.
Measure dependence of 2D simplicial quantum gravity
1995
We study pure 2D Euclidean quantum gravity with $R^2$ interaction on spherical lattices, employing Regge's formulation. We attempt to measure the string susceptibility exponent $\gamma_{\rm str}$ by using a finite-size scaling Ansatz in the expectation value of $R^2$. To check on effects of the path integral measure we investigate two scale invariant measures, the "computer" measure $dl/l$ and the Misner measure $dl/\sqrt A$.
Nonperturbative effective model for the Higgs sector of the standard model
2010
A nonperturbative effective model is derived for the Higgs sector of the Standard Model which is described by a simple scalar theory. The renormalized couplings are determined by the derivatives of the Gaussian effective potential that are known to be the sum of infinite bubble graphs contributing to the vertex functions. A good agreement has been found with strong coupling lattice simulations when a comparison can be made.
Covariant approximation averaging
2015
We present a new class of statistical error reduction techniques for Monte-Carlo simulations. Using covariant symmetries, we show that correlation functions can be constructed from inexpensive approximations without introducing any systematic bias in the final result. We introduce a new class of covariant approximation averaging techniques, known as all-mode averaging (AMA), in which the approximation takes account of contributions of all eigenmodes through the inverse of the Dirac operator computed from the conjugate gradient method with a relaxed stopping condition. In this paper we compare the performance and computational cost of our new method with traditional methods using correlation…
Non-perturbative renormalization of lattice operators in coordinate space
2004
We present the first numerical implementation of a non-perturbative renormalization method for lattice operators, based on the study of correlation functions in coordinate space at short Euclidean distance. The method is applied to compute the renormalization constants of bilinear quark operators for the non-perturbative O(a)-improved Wilson action in the quenched approximation. The matching with perturbative schemes, such as MS-bar, is computed at the next-to-leading order in continuum perturbation theory. A feasibility study of this technique with Neuberger fermions is also presented.
