A Cluster Algorithm for the $Z_2$ Kalb-Ramond Model

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

A cluster algorithm is presented for the Z2Z_2 Kalb-Ramond plaquette model in four dimensions which dramatically reduces critical slowing. The critical exponent zz is reduced from z>2 z>2 (standard Metropolis algorithm) to z=0.32±0.06z= 0.32\pm0.06. The Cluster algorithm updates the monopole configuration known to be responsible for the second order phase transition.
