On a two-dimensional lattice, the SU(2) gauge theory coupled to an unflavored fermion is formulated suitably for a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo calculation. This involves propagation through gauge-invariant states defined so that all transitions have positive amplitudes. The vacuum energy and the mass of the lightest baryon are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
