The topological susceptibility is one of the quantities that has a large discretization error, and the error can be sensitive to the choice of fermion action. We report on our results from physical point simulations with 2+1 flavor M\"obius…
We show that the perturbatively-improved gluon action for QCD, once it is tadpole-improved, gives accurate results even with lattice spacings as large as 0.4~fm. {\em No\/} tuning of the couplings is required. Using this action and lattice…
