We simulate quenched QCD with the overlap Dirac operator. We work with the Wilson gauge action at beta=6 on an 18^3x64 lattice. We calculate quark propagators for a single source point and quark mass ranging from am_q=0.03 to 0.75. We…
We compare the efficiency of four different algorithms to compute the overlap Dirac operator, both for the speed, i.e., time required to reach a desired numerical accuracy, and for the adaptability, i.e., the scaling of speed with the…
Current dynamical overlap fermion hybrid Monte Carlo simulations encounter large fermionic forces when there is mixing between near zero-eigenvectors of the kernel operator. This leads to low acceptance rates when there is a large density…
