Scaling Study of Pure Gauge Lattice QCD by Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Method

The scaling behavior of pure gauge SU(3) in the region $β=5.85 - 7.60$ is examined by a Monte Carlo Renormalization Group analysis. The coupling shifts induced by factor 2 blocking are measured both on 32$^4$ and 16$^4$ lattices with high statistics. A systematic deviation from naive 2-loop scaling is clearly seen. The mean field and effective coupling constant schemes explain part, but not all of the deviation. It can be accounted for by a suitable change of coupling constant, including a correction term ${\cal O}(g^7)$ in the 2-loop lattice $β$-function. Based on this improvement, $\sqrtσ/Λ_{\overline {MS}}^{n_f=0}$ is estimated to be $2.2(\pm 0.1)$ from the analysis of the string tension $σ$.

Autocorrelation in Updating Pure SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory by the use of Overrelaxed Algorithms

We measure the sweep-to-sweep autocorrelations of blocked loops below and above the deconfinement transition for SU(3) on a $16^4$ lattice using 20000-140000 Monte-Carlo updating sweeps. A divergence of the autocorrelation time toward the critical $β$ is seen at high blocking levels. The peak is near $β$ = 6.33 where we observe 440 $\pm$ 210 for the autocorrelation time of $1\times 1$ Wilson loop on $2^4$ blocked lattice. The mixing of 7 Brown-Woch overrelaxation steps followed by one pseudo-heat-bath step appears optimal to reduce the autocorrelation time below the critical $β$. Above the critical $β$, however, no clear difference between these two algorithms can be seen and the system decorrelates rather fast.
