Description

Based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.21217, we present two adaptations of the Event-Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for pure gauge lattice QCD. The algorithms rely on continuous deterministic updates interrupted by stochastic events, creating an irreversible, rejection-free Markov process that satisfies global balance. We detail the construction of these algorithms and present numerical results on the evolution of autocorrelation times of observables towards the continuum limit. In particular we address whether this alternative class of algorithms can mitigate the critical slowing down of the topological charge.
