Authors:Masanori Hanada
View PDF
Abstract:This is an introductory article about Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation for pedestrians. Actual simulation codes are provided, and necessary practical details, which are skipped in most textbooks, are shown. The second half is written for hep-th and hep-lat audience. It explains specific methods needed for simulations with dynamical fermions, especially supersymmetric Yang-Mills. The examples include QCD and matrix integral, in addition to SYM.
Comments: v2: Many typos removed, some explanations improved. 65 pages, many figures
Subjects: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th); Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech); High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
