Momentum lattice simulation on a small lattice using stochastic quantization

Abstract: We have studied the scalar phi4-model in the symmetric phase and the non--compact U(1) gauge theory on a momentum lattice using the Langevin equation for generating configurations. In the phi4-model we have analyzed the renormalized mass and in the U(1)-model we have analyzed the Wilson loop operator. We used a second order algorithm for solving the Langevin equation, and we looked for the convergence rate of the method. We studied the stochastic time needed to generate equilibrium configurations and compared first and second order schemes for both models.


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.
