Efficient Cluster Algorithm for CP(N-1) Models

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Despite several attempts, no efficient cluster algorithm has been constructed for CP(N-1) models in the standard Wilson formulation of lattice field theory. In fact, there is a no-go theorem that prevents the construction of an efficient Wolff-type embedding algorithm. In this paper, we construct an efficient cluster algorithm for ferromagnetic SU(N)-symmetric quantum spin systems. Such systems provide a regularization for CP(N-1) models in the framework of D-theory. We present detailed studies of the autocorrelations and find a dynamical critical exponent that is consistent with z = 0.
