Abstract

We perform a numerical test of a relativistic heavy quark(RHQ) action, recently proposed by Tsukuba group, in quenched lattice QCD at $a\simeq 0.1$ fm. With the use of the improvement parameters previously determined at one-loop level for the RHQ action, we investigate a restoration of rotational symmetry for heavy-heavy and heavy-light meson systems around the charm quark mass. We focused on two quantities, the meson dispersion relation and the pseudo-scalar meson decay constants. It is shown that the RHQ action significantly reduces the discretization errors due to the charm quark mass. We also calculate the S-state hyperfine splittings for the charmonium and charmed-strange mesons and the $D_s$ meson decay constant. The remaining discretization errors in the physical quantities are discussed.

A Machine Learning study of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic $Q$-state Potts model on the square lattice

The critical phenomena of 2D antiferromagnetic $Q$-state Potts model on the square lattice with $Q=2,3,4,5$ and 6 are investigated using supervised neural networks (NN). Conventional supervised and unsupervised NNs either fail or have difficulty in identifying the correct critical behaviors of these models. Remarkably, despite the fact that the NNs employed here are trained with a particular fixed type training set which contains no information about the considered models (except for $Q=2$), they correctly compute the critical temperatures for the studied physical systems. Particularly, the NN outcomes suggest convincingly that the $Q=3$ model is critical only at zero temperature and $Q=4,5,6$ models remain disordered at all temperatures. Apart from the studied models, our NNs trained with exactly the same training set have successfully determined the critical temperature(s) and the nature of the associated phase transition(s) of another physical system differing dramatically from those considered here. Therefore, our NN has the potential to be a universally applicable NN model in studying phase transitions.

Chiral Response of QCD Topology across the Thermal Crossover

We introduce a novel relation connecting the light-quark-mass derivative of the topological susceptibility in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to the connected correlation between the squared topological charge and the integrated light-quark scalar density. This relation gives direct access to the chiral response of QCD topology---the local logarithmic light-quark-mass derivative of the susceptibility---from a single ensemble at fixed quark masses for each temperature, without additional simulations at shifted masses. Applying this relation to $(2+1)$-flavor lattice QCD at $m_π\simeq220\,\mathrm{MeV}$ over temperatures ranging from well below to well above the chiral crossover, we find that the response rises rapidly through the crossover from approximately unity toward two. This evolution corresponds to a change from nearly linear to nearly quadratic dependence of the topological susceptibility on the light-quark mass. Using the chiral response as the exponent of a local power law in the light-quark mass, we determine its effective amplitude from the topological susceptibility. This amplitude exhibits a maximum near the crossover temperature, reflecting the competition between the decreasing topological susceptibility and the increasing chiral response. These results reveal a thermal reorganization of the quark-mass dependence of QCD topology beyond the suppression of topological fluctuations alone.

Toward Compute-Bound Lattice-QCD Software

Multi-right-hand-side multigrid inverters for lattice QCD are much less memory constrained than single-right-hand-side Krylov solvers, so the upper bound on efficiency of modern solvers is much higher than what was historically possible. This work presents a reanalysis of roofline estimates to reflect this new reality. It also describes the qc library, which implements multi-right-hand-side multigrid at an efficiency that can exceed 50% of the processor roofline.
