Abstract

It is well known that the topology of gauge configurations generated in a Markov Monte-Carlo chain freezes as the continuum limit is approached. The corresponding autocorrelation time increases exponentially with the inverse lattice spacing, affecting the ergodicity of the simulation. In SU(N) gauge...
