Description

We review the string formulation of gauge fields on a finite lattice with periodic boundary conditions, as proposed by Batrouni and Halpern in 1984. Simulation results using the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm are reported. The properties of the molecular dynamics force under gauge transformations are compared with the Wilson formulation and we discuss the application to Fourier acceleration.
