Low-mode deflation for twisted-mass and RHMC reweighting in lattice QCD
Abstract
We propose improved estimators to compute the reweighting factors which are needed for lattice QCD calculations that rely on twisted-mass reweighting for the light quark contribution and the Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm for non-degenerate quark masses. This is the case for a number of modern large-scale simulations based on O(a) improved Wilson fermions. We find a significant reduction of uncertainties for the reweighting factors at similar computational cost compared to the conventional estimation. This leads to a significant increase in precision for phenomenologically relevant observables with high correlation to the low eigenmodes of the Wilson-Dirac operator in the presence of exceptionally small eigenvalues. Supplementary details regarding the spectral gap of the light quark Dirac operator on the 2+1 flavor large-volume ensembles explored in this study can be found in an accompanying appendix.
