Over-relaxation method for the Monte Carlo evaluation of the partition function for multiquadratic actions
Abstract
I formulate a successive over-relaxation (SOR) procedure for the Monte Carlo evaluation of the Euclidean partition function for multiquadratic actions (such as the Yang-Mills action with canonical gauge fixing). A convergence analysis for the quadratic-action (Abelian) case shows that as thermalization proceeds the mean nodal fields relax according to the difference equation arising from the standard SOR analysis of the associated classical Euclidean field equation. Hence, SOR should accelerate the thermalization process, just as it accelerates convergence in the numerical solution of second-order elliptic differential equations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
