AN IMPROVED GEOMETRIC ALGORITHM FOR CALCULATING THE TOPOLOGY OF LATTICE GAUGE-FIELDS
- Abstract:
-
We implement the algorithm of Phillips and Stone on a hypercubic, periodic lattice and show that at currently accessible couplings the SU(2) topological charge so calculated is dominated by short-distance fluctuations. We propose and test an improvement to rid the measure of such lattice artifacts. We find that the improved algorithm produces a topological susceptibility that is consistent with that obtained by the alternative cooling method, thus resolving the controversial discrepancy betwe...
