In this paper a method previously employed by Salmhofer to establish an exact equivalence of the one-flavour strong coupling lattice Schwinger model with Wilson fermions to some 8-vertex model is applied to the case with two flavours. As…

We propose various improvements of finite step-size updating for full QCD on the lattice that might turn finite step-size updating into a viable alternative to the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. These improvements are noise reduction of the…

We present results on the QCD phase diagram for small densities without reweighting. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential mu_I for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8^3x4 lattice with 2 flavors…
We show at the example of the matrix element between pion states of a twist-2, non-singlet operator that Wilson twisted mass fermions allow to compute this phenomenologically relevant quantitiy at small pseudo scalar masses of O(270 MeV).…

Simulations for the thermodynamics of the 2+1 flavor QCD are performed employing chiral fermions. The use of M\"obius domain-wall fermions with stout-link smearing is more effective on the finer lattices where all the relevant chiral…
We perform a model study on the 2-flavor lattice Schwinger model using standard Wilson and ${\cal O}(a)$ improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (SW) action. We find, that the phase diagram is altered, the critical line shifted closer towards its…
We demonstrate the utility of a spectral approximation to fermion loop operators using low-lying eigenmodes of the hermitian Dirac-Wilson matrix, Q. The investigation is based on a total of 400 full QCD vacuum configurations, with two…
We study exceptional modes of both the Wilson and the clover action in order to understand why quenched clover spectroscopy suffers so severely from exceptional configurations. We show that, in contrast to the case of the Wilson action, a…

Discretization effects of lattice QCD are described by Symanzik's effective theory when the lattice spacing, $a$, is small. Asymptotic freedom predicts that the leading asymptotic behavior is $\sim a^n [\bar g^2(a^{-1})]^{\hat\gamma_1} \sim…
Numerical simulations of full QCD on anisotropic lattices provide a convenient way to study QCD thermodynamics with fixed physics scales and reduced lattice spacing errors. We report results from calculations with 2-flavors of dynamical…
