Systematically Accelerated Convergence of Path Integrals

Abstract

We present a new analytical method that systematically improves the convergence of path integrals of a generic NN-fold discretized theory. Using it we calculate the effective actions S(p)S^{(p)} for p9p\le 9 which lead to the same continuum amplitudes as the starting action, but that converge to that continuum limit as 1/Np1/N^p. We checked this derived speedup in convergence by performing Monte Carlo simulations on several different models.
