One-Flavour Hybrid Monte Carlo with Wilson Fermions

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2011-04-15 v1

Abstract

The Wilson fermion determinant can be written as product of the determinants of two hermitian positive definite matrices. This formulation allows to simulate non-degenerate quark flavors by means of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. A major numerical difficulty is the occurrence of nested inversions. We construct a Uzawa iteration scheme which treats the nested system within one iterative process.
