This paper presents a formulation of lattice fermions applicable to all quark masses, large and small. We incorporate interactions from previous light-fermion and heavy-fermion methods, and thus ensure a smooth connection to these limiting…
Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) simulations of lattice gauge theories with fermionic matter rely on the invertibility of the lattice Dirac operator. Near-zero modes of the latter can therefore significantly slow down the update algorithm and cause…
