Large-scale simulations with chiral symmetry

Abstract

We carry out a comparative study among five-dimensional formulations of chirally symmetric fermions about the algorithmic performance, chiral symmetry violation and topological tunneling to find a computationally inexpensive formulation with good chiral symmetry. With our choice of the lattice action, we have launched large-scale simulations on fine lattices aiming at a precision study of light and heavy quark physics. We report on the comparative study, current status of the large-scale simulations, and preliminary results on the residual quark mass and auto-correlation.
