We derive a formula that expresses the density of states of a system with continuous degrees of freedom as a function of microcanonical averages of squared gradient and Laplacian of the Hamiltonian. This result is then used to propose a…
Models for what may lie behind the Standard Model often require non-perturbative calculations in strongly coupled field theory. This creates opportunities for lattice methods, to obtain quantities of phenomenological interest as well as to…
