Genetic Algorithm for SU(N) gauge theory on a lattice

Creators

Description

A hybrid algorithm is proposed for pure SU(N) lattice gauge theory based on Genetic Algorithms (GA)s and the Metropolis method. We apply the hybrid GA to pure SU(2) gauge theory on a 2-dimensional lattice and find the action per plaquette and Wilson loops being consistent with those given by the Metropolis and Heatbath methods. The thermalization of this newly proposed Hybrid GA is quite faster than in the Metropolis algorithm
