Lattice discretisation errors in the Landau gauge condition are examined. An improved gauge fixing algorithm in which ${\cal O}(a^2)$ errors are removed is presented. ${\cal O}(a^2)$ improvement of the gauge fixing condition improves…
An algorithm for gauge fixing to the minimal Landau gauge in lattice QCD is described. The method, a combination of an evolutionary algorithm with a steepest descent method, is able to solve the problem of the nonperturbative gauge fixing.…
We study the problem of critical slowing-down for gauge-fixing algorithms (Landau gauge) in $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory on $2$ and $4$ dimensional lattices, both numerically and analytically. We consider five such algorithms, and we…
Lattice gauge fixing is required to compute gauge-variant quantities, for example those used in RI-MOM renormalization schemes or as objects of comparison for model calculations. Recently, gauge-variant quantities have also been found to be…
Current algorithms used to put a lattice gauge configuration into Landau gauge either suffer from the problem of critical slowing-down or involve an additional computational expense to overcome it. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), which have…
A new gauge fixing condition is discussed, which is (lattice) rotation invariant, has the `smoothness' properties of the Landau gauge but can be efficiently computed and is unambiguous for almost all lattice gauge field configurations.
Gauge fixing is a useful tool to simplify calculations. It is also valuable to combine different methods, in particular lattice and continuum methods. However, beyond perturbation theory the Gribov-Singer ambiguity requires further gauge…
We discuss global gauge fixing on the lattice, specifically to the lattice Landau gauge, with the goal of understanding the question of why the process becomes extremely slow for large lattices. We construct an artificial "gauge-fixing"…
A class of algorithms for the Landau gauge fixing is proposed, which makes the steepest ascent (SA) method be more efficient by concepts of genetic algorithm. Main concern is how to incorporate random gauge transformation (RGT) %, mutation…
We address the problem of the gauge fixing versus Gribov copies in lattice gauge theories. For the Landau gauge, results show that a suitable combination of evolutionary algorithms with traditional steepest descent methods identifies the…
We address the question of why global gauge fixing, specifically to the lattice Landau gauge, becomes an extremely lengthy process for large lattices. We construct an artificial "gauge-fixing" problem which has the essential features…
We propose a method which allows the generalization of the Landau lattice gauge-fixing procedure to generic covariant gauges. We report preliminary numerical results showing how the procedure works for $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$. We also report…
The Laplacian gauge on the lattice is investigated numerically using U(1) and SU(2) gauge fields. The problem of Gribov ambiguities is addressed and to asses the smoothness of the gauge fixed configurations, they are compared to…
The Landau gauge fixing algorithm in the new definition of gauge fields is presented. In this algorithm a new solver of the Poisson equations based on the Green's function method is used. Its numerical performance of the gauge fixing…
Gauge-fixing as a sampling procedure of gauge copies provides a possibility to construct well-defined gauges also beyond perturbation theory. The implementation of such sampling strategies in lattice gauge theory is briefly outlined, and…
An overrelaxed variant of simulated annealing is applied to the problem of maximally abelian gauge fixing. The superiority of this algorithm over the commonly used relaxation procedure is demonstrated. Biases on non gauge invariant…
We demonstrate that a direct approach to improving Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory is possible. Our approach is to correct errors in the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian by incorporating additional gauge invariant terms. The coefficients of…
We present a new method of gauge fixing to standard lattice Landau gauge, Max Re Tr $\sum_{\mu,x}U_{\mu,x}$, in which the link configuration is recursively smeared; these smeared links are then gauge fixed by standard extremization. The…
We provide details of the first implementation of a non-linear conjugate gradient method for Landau and Coulomb gauge fixing with Fourier acceleration. We find clear improvement over the Fourier accelerated steepest descent method, with the…
We discuss critical slowing-down of several gauge-fixing algorithms for the so-called lambda-gauges in the SU(2) case at zero temperature. For these gauges we also evaluate the gluon propagator using different definitions of the lattice…
