High Precision Simulation Techniques for Lattice Field Theory

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2011-04-15 v1

Abstract

An overview is given over the recently developed and now widely used Monte Carlo algorithms with reduced or eliminated critical slowing down. The basic techniques are overrelaxation, cluster algorithms and multigrid methods. With these tools one is able to probe much closer than before the universal continuum behavior of field theories on the lattice.
