Abstract

We describe the conjectured holographic duality between Yang-Mills quantum mechanics and type IIa string theory. This duality allows us to use lattice Monte Carlo simulations to probe the physics of the gravitational theory - for example, at low energies it provides a computation of black hole entropy in terms of a sum over microstates of the dual gauge theory. Numerical results are presented of the 4 supercharge theory at finite temperature

Performance Portable $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Lattice Gauge Theory Simulation with Kokkos

The increasing diversity of high performance computing systems makes separate, architecture specific implementations of lattice gauge theory algorithms costly to maintain. We present \texttt{kwqft}, a performance portable Kokkos implementation of Wilson pure gauge Monte Carlo simulation for $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in an arbitrary number of space-time dimensions. The gauge group order $N$ and the dimension $D$ are compile time parameters. A single source targets the Serial, OpenMP, CUDA, HIP, and SYCL execution spaces, with MPI halo exchange overlapped with interior updates. The implementation reproduces the exact two-dimensional plaquette and published three and four dimensional values for gauge groups up to $\mathrm{SU}(17)$. On an NVIDIA A100 the Kokkos CUDA backend is competitive with a native CUDA code, SIMD acceleration improves the OpenMP path on Armv9 processors, and a large scale speedup is demonstrated for an $\mathrm{SU}(4)$ lattice on the LineShine supercomputer, currently ranked first on the TOP500 list.

Bjorken sum rule down to the elastic region from the lattice

We present a lattice determination of the Bjorken sum rule via a Feynman-Hellmann calculation of the polarised forward Compton amplitude. We evaluate the lowest moment of the nucleon's polarised structure function, $g_1$, which we calculate over the range $0.5\lesssim Q^2 \lesssim 8$ GeV$^2$, covering both non-perturbative and perturbative regions. We compare our calculated moments with the Bjorken sum rule, and discuss implications for the calculation of higher-twist effects, as well as evaluations of $α_s(Q^2)$ from hadronic quantities to complement phenomenological and other lattice methods.

Finite-size scaling analysis of three dimensional Z(2) and O(2) spin models with non-vanishing symmetry breaking parameter

We present results from a detailed finite-size scaling analysis of the $3$-$d$, $Z(2)$ and $O(2)$ spin models in an external field $H$. Using high statistics Monte Carlo data, we obtain the leading finite-size scaling correction to the infinite volume scaling functions. We show that these corrections are proportional to $\widetilde{z}_L^2=1/(H L^{3/(1+1/δ))})^{2}$. This provides the parametric form for finite-size corrections to bulk thermodynamic observables as well as the pseudo-critical temperatures determined at non-vanishing $H$. In particular, it allows to eliminate systematic errors in the analysis of the chiral phase transition temperature in (2+1)-flavor QCD, that arose from the previously not well-controlled ansatz for infinite volume extrapolations. We also establish the validity range of this leading order correction and point out that there are significant differences between the $3$-$d$, $O(2)$ and $Z(2)$ universality classes.
