abstract
We investigate the performance of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm, the standard algorithm used for lattice QCD simulations involving fermions, in updating non-trivial global topological structures. We find that the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm has serious problems decorrelating the global topological charge at the values of $\beta$ and $m$ currently simulated, where continuum physics should be approximately realized. This represents a warning which must be seriously considered when simulating full QCD by hybrid Monte Carlo.

First non-asymptotic-scaling determination of the large-N Yang-Mills Λ-parameter yields √(8t₀)Λ_MS(N=∞) = 0.639(36).
Event-Chain Monte Carlo is formulated and validated for SU(3) Yang-Mills lattice gauge theory, with mean plaquette values matching conventional Monte Carlo on four-dimensional lattices.
Out-of-equilibrium simulations with open-to-periodic boundary switching plus a tailored stochastic normalizing flow enable efficient topology sampling in the continuum limit of four-dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory.
Metadynamics bias potentials and volume-extrapolation strategies reduce integrated autocorrelation times of topological charge in lattice gauge theories.
