Abstract

We study the dynamical critical behavior of multigrid Monte Carlo for the two dimensional Sine Gordon model on lattices up to 128 x 128. Using piecewise constant interpolation, we perform a W-cycle (gamma=2). We examine whether one can reduce critical slowing down caused by decreasing acceptance rates on large blocks by doing more work on coarser lattices. To this end, we choose a higher cycle with gamma = 4. The results clearly demonstrate that critical slowing down is not reduced in either case.
