Finite size scaling analysis of compact QED

We describe results of a high-statistics finite size scaling analysis of 4d compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with Wilson action at the phase transition point. Using a multicanonical hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm we generate data samples with more than 150 tunneling events between the metastable states of the system, on lattice sizes up to 18^4. We performed a first analysis within the Borgs-Kotecky finite size scaling scheme. As a result, we report evidence for a first-order phase transition with a plaquette energy gap, G=0.02667(20), at a transition coupling, beta_T=1.011128(11).

Phase structure and chiral limit of compact lattice QED with Wilson fermions

We study the phase structure and chiral limit of $4d$ compact lattice QED with Wilson fermions (both dynamical and quenched). We use the standard Wilson action (WA) and also the modified action (MA) with some lattice artifacts suppressed. We show that lattice artifacts influence the distributions of eigenvalues $~λ_i~$ of the fermionic matrix especially for small values of $~λ_i~$. Our main conclusion is that the chiral limit of compact QED can be efficiently located using different techniques. Sorry, figures are not included and can be sent by ordinary mail or Fax.
