The Logarithmic Linear Relaxation (LLR) algorithm is an efficient method for computing densities of states for systems with a continuous spectrum. A key feature of this method is exponential error reduction, which allows us to evaluate the…
In lattice calculations, the approach to the continuum limit is hindered by the severe freezing of the topological charge, which prevents ergodic sampling in configuration space. In order to significantly reduce the autocorrelation time of…
Recently, a new and efficient algorithm (the LLR method) has been proposed for computing densities of states in statistical systems and gauge theories. In this talk, we explore whether this novel density of states method can be applied to…
In Wang-Landau type algorithms, Monte-Carlo updates are performed with respect to the density of states, which is iteratively refined during simulations. The partition function and thermodynamic observables are then obtained by standard…
We use the Logarithmic Linear Relaxation (LLR) density of states algorithm to study the bulk phase transitions of pure-gauge SU($N$) lattice Yang--Mills theories with $4 \leq N \leq 8$. This approach avoids super-critical slowing down at…
We present work in progress using the Logarithmic Linear Relaxation (LLR) density of states algorithm to analyse first-order phase transitions in pure-gauge SU(N) Yang--Mills theories, focusing on N = 4 and 6. By using the LLR algorithm we…
The density of states is calculated for a SU(2) and a compact U(1) lattice gauge theory using a modified version of the Wang-Landau algorithm. We find that the density of states of the SU(2) gauge theory can be reliably calculated over a…
Although Monte Carlo calculations using Importance Sampling have matured into the most widely employed method for determining first principle results in QCD, they spectacularly fail for theories with a sign problem or for which certain rare…
We apply the Linear Logarithmic Relaxation (LLR) method, which generalizes the Wang-Landau algorithm to quantum systems with continuous degrees of freedom, to the fermionic Hubbard model with repulsive interactions on the honeycomb lattice.…
First-order phase transitions in the early universe have rich phenomenological implications, such as the production of a potentially detectable signal of stochastic relic background gravitational waves. The hypothesis that new, strongly…
Extensions of the standard model that lead to first-order phase transitions in the early universe can produce a stochastic background of gravitational waves, which may be accessible to future detectors. Thermodynamic observables at the…
Emerging sampling algorithms based on normalizing flows have the potential to solve ergodicity problems in lattice calculations. Furthermore, it has been noted that flows can be used to compute thermodynamic quantities which are difficult…
We present a novel algorithm to compute the density of states, which is proven to converge to the correct result. The algorithm is very general and can be applied to a wide range of models, in the frameworks of Statistical Mechanics and…
We present ongoing investigations of the first-order confinement transition of a composite dark matter model, to predict the resulting spectrum of gravitational waves. To avoid long autocorrelations at the first-order transition, we employ…
We implement the Wang-Landau algorithm in the context of SU(N) lattice gauge theories. We study the quenched, reduced version of the lattice theory and calculate its density of states for N=20,30,40,50. We introduce a variant of the…
Lattice Field Theory can be used to study finite temperature first-order phase transitions in new, strongly-coupled gauge theories of phenomenological interest. Metastable dynamics arising in proximity of the phase transition can lead to…
Using a recently introduced tensor network method, we study the density of states of the lattice Schwinger model, a standard testbench for lattice gauge theory numerical techniques, but also the object of recent experimental quantum…
We study the finite-temperature behaviour of the $Sp(4)$ Yang-Mills lattice theory in four dimensions, by applying the Logarithmic Linear Relaxation (LLR) algorithm. We demonstrate the presence of coexisting (metastable) phases, when the…
A precise lattice determination of the equation of state in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is carried out by means of a simulation algorithm, based on Jarzynski's theorem, that allows one to compute physical quantities in thermodynamic…
Entanglement entropy is a notoriously difficult quantity to compute in strongly interacting gauge theories. Existing lattice replica methods have suffered from a severe signal-to-noise ratio problem, making high-precision studies…
