Momentum lattice simulation on a small lattice using stochastic quantization (Q1908740)

The problem of decreasing the amount of computer time and memory needed to do simulations near a critical point in lattice gauge theory is considered. Numerical analysis of the convergence behavior on a momentum lattice is studied. The scalar \(\phi^4\)-model in the symmetric phase transition and the noncompact U(1) gauge theory on a momentum lattice are discussed using the Langevin equation \({\partial \phi(x, \tau)\over \partial \tau} = - {\delta S[\phi]\over \delta \phi (x)}\biggr|_{\phi(x) = \phi(x,\tau)} + \eta(x,\tau)\), here \((x,\tau)\) is a field of Gaussian noise. The renormalized mass \(m_R\) in the \(\phi^4\)-model and the Wilson loop operator in the U(1) model are computed. The Langevin equation is solved using a second-order algorithm. Plots are shown representing \(m_R\) versus coupling parameter, stochastic time, and Wilson loop versus coupling constant.
