Improved actions for the two-dimensional sigma-model

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

For the O(N) sigma-model we studied the improvement program for actions with two- and four-spin interactions. An interesting example is an action which is reflection-positive, on-shell improved, and has all the coupling defined on an elementary plaquette. We show the large N solution and preliminary Monte Carlo results for N=3.
