The RHMC algorithm for theories with unknown spectral bounds
The Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC) algorithm extends the Hybrid Monte
Carlo algorithm for lattice QCD simulations to situations involving fractional
powers of the determinant of the quadratic Dirac operator. This avoids the
updating increment () dependence of observables which plagues the Hybrid
Molecular-dynamics (HMD) method. The RHMC algorithm uses rational
approximations to fractional powers of the quadratic Dirac operator. Such
approximations are only available when positive upper and lower bounds to the
operator's spectrum are known. We apply the RHMC algorithm to simulations of 2
theories for which a positive lower spectral bound is unknown: lattice QCD with
staggered quarks at finite isospin chemical potential and lattice QCD with
massless staggered quarks and chiral 4-fermion interactions (QCD). A
choice of lower bound is made in each case, and the properties of the RHMC
simulations these define are studied. Justification of our choices of lower
bounds is made by comparing measurements with those from HMD simulations, and
by comparing different choices of lower bounds.Comment: Latex(Revtex 4) 25 pages, 8 postscript figure
Beta lives - some statistical perspectives on the capital asset pricing model
This note summarizes some technical issues relevant to the use of the idea of excess return in empirical modelling. We cover the case where the aim is to construct a measure of expected return on an asset and a model of the CAPM type is used. We review some of the problems and show examples where the basic CAPM may be used to develop other results which relate the expected returns on assets both to the expected return on the market and other factors
Helmet weight simulator
A device for providing acceleration cues to the helmet of a simulator pilot is described. Pulleys are attached to both shoulders of the pilot. A cable is attached to both sides of the helmet and extends through the pulleys to a takeup reel that is controlled by a torque motor. Control signals are applied to a servo system including the torque motor, the takeup reel and a force transducer which supplies the feedback signal. In one embodiment of the invention the force transducer is in the cable and in another it is in the takeup reel
Nature of the spin liquid state of the Hubbard model on honeycomb lattice
Recent numerical work (Nature 464, 847 (2010)) indicates the existence of a
spin liquid phase (SL) that intervenes between the antiferromagnetic and
semimetallic phases of the half filled Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. To
better understand the nature of this exotic phase, we study the quantum
spin model on the honeycomb lattice, which provides an effective
description of the Mott insulating region of the Hubbard model. Employing the
variational Monte Carlo approach, we analyze the phase diagram of the model,
finding a phase transition between antiferromagnet and an unusual SL
state at , which we identify as the SL phase of the
Hubbard model. At higher we find a transition to a
dimerized state with spontaneously broken rotational symmetry.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
