Description

The numerical sign problem remains one of the central challenges in first-principles simulations. The Worldvolume Hybrid Monte Carlo (WV-HMC) has recently emerged as a reliable and computationally efficient algorithm, and, crucially, avoids the ergodicity issues inherent in Lefschetz-thimble approaches. In this talk, after outlining the key ideas behind WV-HMC, I will present its extension to group-manifold configuration spaces and report on recent progress in its application to lattice gauge theories.
