| Abstract: |
The 2+1d Thirring model provides a good laboratory to explore criticality in a strongly coupled region. We investigate the utility of Ginsparg-Wilson relation obeying Dirac operators, namely overlap operators and domain wall operators for this enterprise and seek to improve them. These operators recover global U(2) symmetry in the continuum limit as required by any theory with chiral symmetry. We do this via calculation of the bilinear condensate and the evaluation of an equation of state around a phase transition. However, numerical calculations using QFTs may be computationally very expensive, especially around phase transitions. In the past often only quenched calculations havebeen possible. As available computing power has increased however, dynamic calculations have become increasingly feasible. In this work we carry out both quenched and dynamic simulations. We look to find critical exponents via the equation of state characterizing the behaviour of the condensate in the continuum limit, and in the process find improvements in the evaluation of the measurements. |
