The M\"obius Domain Wall Fermion Algorithm
We present a review of the properties of generalized domain wall Fermions,
based on a (real) M\"obius transformation on the Wilson overlap kernel,
discussing their algorithmic efficiency, the degree of explicit chiral
violations measured by the residual mass () and the Ward-Takahashi
identities. The M\"obius class interpolates between Shamir's domain wall
operator and Bori\c{c}i's domain wall implementation of Neuberger's overlap
operator without increasing the number of Dirac applications per conjugate
gradient iteration. A new scaling parameter () reduces chiral
violations at finite fifth dimension () but yields exactly the same
overlap action in the limit . Through the use of 4d
Red/Black preconditioning and optimal tuning for the scaling , we
show that chiral symmetry violations are typically reduced by an order of
magnitude at fixed . At large we argue that the observed scaling for
for Shamir is replaced by for the
properly tuned M\"obius algorithm with Comment: 59 pages, 11 figure
Algebraic Multigrid for Disordered Systems and Lattice Gauge Theories
The construction of multigrid operators for disordered linear lattice
operators, in particular the fermion matrix in lattice gauge theories, by means
of algebraic multigrid and block LU decomposition is discussed. In this
formalism, the effective coarse-grid operator is obtained as the Schur
complement of the original matrix. An optimal approximation to it is found by a
numerical optimization procedure akin to Monte Carlo renormalization, resulting
in a generalized (gauge-path dependent) stencil that is easily evaluated for a
given disorder field. Applications to preconditioning and relaxation methods
are investigated.Comment: 43 pages, 14 figures, revtex4 styl
