We study the lattice O(2N) Gross-Neveu model with Wilson fermions in the fermion loop formulation. Employing a worm algorithm for an open fermionic string, we simulate fluctuating topological boundary conditions and use them to tune the system to the critical point. We show how the worm algorithm can be extended to sample correlation functions of bound states involving an arbitrary number of Majorana fermions and present first results.
We discuss a specific cut-off effect which appears in applying the non-perturbative RI/MOM scheme to compute the renormalization constants. To illustrate the problem a Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is used, but the arguments are more general. We propose a simple modification of the method which gets rid of the corresponding discretization error. Applying this to full-QCD simulations done at a=0.13 fm with the Fixed Point action we find that the renormalization constants are strongly distorted by the artefacts discussed. We consider also the role of global gauge transformations, a freedom which still remains after the conventional gauge fixing procedure is applied.
We generated configurations with the approximate fixed-point Dirac operator $D_\mathrm{FP}$ on a $12^4$ lattice with $a \approx 0.13 $fm where the scale was set by $r_0$. The distributions of the low lying eigenvalues in different topological sectors were compared with those of the Random Matrix Theory which leads to a prediction of the chiral condensate.
