2 Introduction, motivation (1) Topological objects: non-trivial structures in field configurations, which cannot be removed by continuous deformations, while keeping the action finite (their position can be changed and they can be deformed). Analogy: a knot in a rope. Topological charge: number of topological objects in a field configuration. topological charge Q = 0 topological charge Q = 1

3 Introduction, motivation (2) Examples of field theories, where topological objects/charge exist(s): 1D QM on a circle. U(1) gauge theory and the Schwinger model in 2D. SU(2)/SU(3) Yang-Mills theory and QCD in 4D. topological charge Q = 0 topological charge Q = 1 spacetime spacetime

4 Introduction, motivation (3) Typical lattice simulation algorithms might have difficulties changing the topological charge/sector ( topology freezing). Reasons: Field configurations are updated in a nearly continuous way. Topological sectors are separated by large action barriers (in the continuum by infinite barriers). Topology changes are strongly suppressed, when using overlap sea quarks, [S. Aoki et al. [JLQCD Collaboration], Phys. Rev. D 78, (2008) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]] [S. Aoki et al., PTEP 2012, 01A106 (2012)] the lattice spacing is small (a < 0.05fm, i.e. close to the continuum). [M. Lüscher and S. Schaefer, JHEP 1107, 036 (2011) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]] [S. Schaefer, PoS LATTICE 2012, 001 (2012) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]]

5 Introduction, motivation (4) The simulation of a path integral requires averaging over field configurations from all topological sectors, DADψD ψe S E[A, ψ,ψ],... Z V When topology is fixed, DADψD ψδ Q,Q[A] e S E[A, ψ,ψ] Z Q,V,..., results exhibit systematic errors; in particular two-point correlation functions are not proportional e M Ht for large temporal separations t. These errors are proportional to 1/V (V: spacetime volume); their behavior can be calculated as a power series in 1/V; using the results one can determine physical quantities, e.g. hadron masses, from correlation functions from fixed topology simulations.

6 Introduction, motivation (5) There are also cases, where one might fix topology on purpose. Example: using a mixed action setup of high quality overlap quarks and computationally inexpensive Wilson (tm) quarks at light quark masses at light quark masses and Q 0 the valence overlap Dirac matrix has near zero modes (Atiyah-Singer index theorem) which are not present (and, therefore, compensated) in the sea Wilson (tm) Dirac matrix the consequence is an ill-behaved continuum limit. [K. Cichy, G. Herdoiza and K. Jansen, Nucl. Phys. B 847, 179 (2011) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]] [K. Cichy et al., Nucl. Phys. B 869, 131 (2013) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]] A possible solution to this problem might be to fix topology to Q = 0,where also the valence overlap Dirac matrix has no near zero modes.

7 Introduction, motivation (6) Topology can be fixed by either sorting the generated field configurations according to their topological charge or by employing topology fixing actions. [H. Fukaya et al., Phys. Rev. D 73, (2006) [hep-lat/ ]] [W. Bietenholz et al., JHEP 0603, 017 (2006) [hep-lat/ ]] [F. Bruckmann et al., Eur. Phys. J. A 43, 303 (2010) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]]

8 Part 1 The behavior of two-point correlation functions at fixed topology

9 Literature Idea: Topology fixing causes systematic errors, which are finite volume corrections. Expand two-point correlation functions at fixed topology C Q,V (t) (which are used to determine hadron masses) as a power series in 1/V. Seminal paper: expansion of C Q,V (t) up to O(1/V) and in part up to O(1/V 2 ). [R. Brower, S. Chandrasekharan, J. W. Negele and U. J. Wiese, Phys. Lett. B 560, 64 (2003) [hep-lat/ ]] General discussion of n-point functions at fixed topology including also higher orders in 1/V. [S. Aoki, H. Fukaya, S. Hashimoto and T. Onogi, Phys. Rev. D 76, (2007) [arxiv: [hep-lat]]] Our contribution: expansion of C Q,V (t) up to O(1/V 3 ). [A. Dromard and M. Wagner, arxiv: [hep-lat]]

10 Z Q,V (Z at fixed Q and finite V) (1) In the following: expansion of DADψD ψδ Q,Q[A] e SE[A, ψ,ψ], Z Q,V the partition function at fixed topological charge Q and spacetime volume V, in powers of 1/V (QCD at fixed topology is not a quantum theory). Z Q,V is the Fourier transform of Z θ,v, the partition function at vacuum angle θ (S E,θ [A, ψ,ψ] S E [A, ψ,ψ]+iθq[a]; θ = 0 ordinary QCD): Z Q,V = = 1 2π +π π DADψD ψ dθe iqθ ( 1 +π ) dθe i(q Q[A])θ 2π π DADψD ψe S E,θ[A, ψ,ψ] } {{ } Z θ,v e S E[A, ψ,ψ] = 1 2π +π π = dθe iqθ Z θ,v. (QCD at θ 0 is a quantum theory, e.g. a Hamiltonian and states exist,...).

11 Z Q,V (Z at fixed Q and finite V) (2) One can show E n (+θ,v s ) = E n ( θ,v s ); it implies (d/dθ)e n (θ,v s ) θ=0 = 0. One can show χ t = e (2) 0 (θ) θ=0 (the second derivative of the vacuum energy density at θ = 0), Q 2 χ t lim V V = lim V 1 Z θ,v V 1 = lim V Z θ,v V d 2 dθ 2 n n e E n(θ,v s )T d 2 dθ 2Z θ,v = θ=0 θ=0 = 1 d 2 E n (θ,v s ) = lim e E n(θ,v s )T V Z θ,v V s dθ 2 = θ=0 = lim V s E (2) 0 (θ,v s) V s θ=0 = e (2) 0 (θ) θ=0 (ordinary finite size effects neglected, e.g. E 0 (θ,v s ) = e 0 (θ)v s ). This calculation explains the appearance of χ t in the following equations.

12 Z Q,V (Z at fixed Q and finite V) (3) Z θ,v is dominated by the vacuum at large temporal extension T, Z Q,V = 1 2π = 1 2π +π π +π π dθe iqθ Z θ,v = ( ) dθe iqθ e E 0(θ,V s )T 1+O(e E(θ)T ). (1) The vacuum energy E 0 (θ,v s ) can be written as a power series in θ, ( E 2n E 0 (θ,v s )T = e 0 (θ)v = (2n)! θ2n) V, n=0 where E n e (n) 0 (θ) θ=0, in particular E 2 = χ t. The integral in (1) can be solved (calculating order by order in 1/V) using standard techniques: +π π dθ + dθ (exponentially suppressed errors)... residue theorem... Gaussian integrals ( saddle point approximation )...

13 Z Q,V (Z at fixed Q and finite V) (4) The calculation is lengthy... details not suited for a talk...

14 Z Q,V (Z at fixed Q and finite V) (5) Result for Z Q,V up to 1/V 3 : Z Q,V = = 1 2πE2 V ( 1 1 ( 1 1 E 2 V + 1 ( (E 2 V) 3 ( 1 +O ( ( exp E 0 (0,V s )T 1 E 2 V E 4 Q 2) 1/2 (E 2 V) 2 2E 2 E 4 8E (E 2 V) 2 ( E 6 E 24 V 4, 1 E 24 V 4Q2, E 8 384E 2 + 7E 4E Q2 1 (E 2 V) 3 E 4 24E 2 Q 4) + 35E E 2 384E 2 2 ) 256E 385E ( E + E E 24 V 4Q4)). Parameters also present at unfixed topology: E 0 (0,V s ). New fixed topology parameters : E 2 = χ t, E 4, E 6. 3 E E 2 3E 2 2 )Q 2)

15 C Q,V (t) (C(t) at fixed Q and finite V) (1) In the following: expansion of 1 C Q,V (t) DADψD ψδ Q,Q[A] O (t)o(0)e SE[A, ψ,ψ], Z Q,V the two-point correlation function at fixed topological charge Q and spacetime volume V, in powers of 1/V. O is a suitably normalized hadron creation operator, 1 ( O d 3 ro 1 (r) e.g. O d 3 r d(r)γ ) 5 u(r) for the pion, Vs Vs where O (r) is a local operator (parity P is not a symmetry at θ 0). Then α(θ) H; θ O 0; θ 2 = α (2k) (0)θ 2k k=0 (2k)! ( = α(0)exp k=1 β (2k) (0)θ 2k (2k)! ).

16 C Q,V (t) (C(t) at fixed Q and finite V) (2) Result for C Q,V (t) up to 1/V 3 : C Q,V (t) = ( 1 G C = 1 1 E 2 V ( α(0) 1+x2 /E 2 V exp M H (0)t 1 E 2 V ) 1 E +1/2 ( 4 (E 2 V) 2 Q 2 1 2E 2 E 4 (1+x 4 /E 4 V) 8E 2 (1+x 2 /E 2 V) (E 2 V) 2 ( ) x 2 /E 2 V 1 2 Q2 1 E 4 (1+x 4 /E 4 V) (E 2 V) 2 2E 2 (1 +x 2 /E 2 V) 3Q2 ( E 6(1+x 6 /E 6 V) ) 1/2 G C G +O ( ) 1 E 4 1+x4 /E 4 V )Q (E 2 V) 3 24E 2 (1 +x 2 /E 2 V) ( ) 1 (E 2 V) 4Q4 48E 2 (1+x 2 /E 2 V) E 4 2 (1+x 4 /E 4 V) 2 384E 2 2 (1+x 2 /E 2 V) ( (E 2 V) 3 E 8(1+x 8 /E 8 V) 384E 2 (1 +x 2 /E 2 V) 4 + 7E 4(1+x 4 /E 4 V)E 6 (1 +x 6 /E 6 V) ( E6 (1 +x 6 /E 6 V) + 16E 2 (1 +x 2 /E 2 V) 4 E 4 2 (1+x 4 /E 4 V) 2 ) ( 1 )Q 2 3E 2 2 (1 +x 2 /E 2 V) 5 +O G = 1 1 ( E E 2 V 8E 2 (E 2 V) 2 E E 2 ) 4 48E 2 384E ( (E 2 V) 3 E 8 + 7E 4E 6 384E 2 256E 2 385E 3 ( E 3 + E6 E E 2 3E E 2 2 (1+x 2 /E 2 V) 5 385E 4 3 (1 +x 4 /E 4 V) E 3 2 (1+x 2 /E 2 V) 6 ) (E 2 V) 4, 1 (E 2 V) 4Q2 ) ( ) 1 )Q 2 +O (E 2 V) 4, 1 (E 2 V) 4Q2. Parameters also present at unfixed topology: M H (0), α(0). New fixed topology parameters : E n (E 2 = χ t ), x n M (n) H (0)t+β(n) (0), n = 2,4,6,8 (i.e. 12 parameters). )

17 C Q,V (t) (C(t) at fixed Q and finite V) (3) For some applications it might be of interest to have C Q,V (t) up to 1/V 3 in the form ( ) C Q,V (t) = const exp M H (0)t+fixed topology corrections as a power series in 1/E 2 V, which can be obtained by straightforward expansions in 1/V: ( x x4 2(E 4 /E 2 )x 2 2x 2 2 (E 2 V) 2 x ) Q2 ( 16(E4 /E 2 ) 2 x 2 +x 6 3(E 6 /E 2 )x 2 8(E 4 /E 2 )x 4 12x 2 x 4 +18(E 4 /E 2 )x x 3 2 ( C Q,V (t) = α(0)exp M H (0)t 1 E 2 V 1 (E 2 V) 3 x 4 3(E 4 /E 2 )x 2 2x 2 ) 2 Q 2 4 ( 1 +O (E 2 V) 4, 1 (E 2 V) 4Q2, ) 1 (E 2 V) 4Q4. Parameters also present at unfixed topology: M H (0), α(0). New fixed topology parameters : E n (E 2 = χ t ), x n M (n) H (0)t+β(n) (0), n = 2,4,6 (i.e. 9 parameters). 48

18 C Q,V (t) (C(t) at fixed Q and finite V) (4) To reduce the number of parameters, one can also consider lower orders in 1/V, e.g. C Q,V (t) up to 1/V, C Q,V (t) = G C = 1 1 E 2 V ( α(0) 1+x2 /E 2 V exp M H (0)t 1 ( ) ) 1 1 E 2 V 1+x 2 /E 2 V 1 GC 2 Q2 G E 4 (1+x 4 /E 4 V) 8E 2 (1+x 2 /E 2 V) 2, G = 1 1 E 2 V E 4 8E 2. Parameters: M H (0), α(0), E n (E 2 = χ t ), x n M (n) H (0)t+β(n) (0), n = 2,4. Another strategy is to set certain parameters to zero (i.e. to just ignore the corresponding fixed topology corrections), e.g. C Q,V (t) = ( α(0) 1+x2 /E 2 V exp M H (0)t 1 ( ) ) 1 1 E 2 V 1+x 2 /E 2 V 1 2 Q2, which is the 1/V 3 result with x 2 M (2) H (0)t and E n = 0, M (n) H (0) = 0, n = 4,6,8, β (n) (0) = 0, n = 2,4,6,8. Parameters: M H (0), α(0), E 2 = χ t, M (2) H (0).

19 Validity of the expansion of C Q,V (t) The presented expansions are good approximations, if the following four conditions are fulfilled: (C1) 1/E 2 V 1, Q /E 2 V 1. The volume V must be large, the topological charge Q may not be too large. (C2) x 2 = M (2) H (0)t+β(2) (0) < 1. The temporal separation may not be too large. (C3) m π (θ)l > No ordinary finite size effects. (C4) (M H (θ) M H(θ))t 1, M H (θ)(t 2t) 1. No contamination from excited states or particles propagating backwards in time.

22 QM on a circle, free particle Can be solved analytically, also at fixed topology (hadron creation operator O sin(ϕ), hadron mass M H (θ) E 1 (θ) E 0 (θ)). The expansions of C Q,V (t) from part 1 disagree with the analytical results. Reason: either assumption E n (+θ) = E n ( θ) or condition (C2) M (2) H (0)t+β(2) (0) 1 < not fulfilled (a particularity of the free case). One can derive the expansions of C Q,V (t) from part 1 for the more general case E n (+θ) E n ( θ); then there is perfect agreement. [A. Dromard and M. Wagner, arxiv: [hep-lat]]

23 QM on a circle, square well potential (1) Square well potential: { 0 if ρ/2 < ϕ < +ρ/2 U(ϕ) U 0 otherwise. Can be solved numerically up to arbitrary precision (no simulations required), also at fixed topology ideal to test the expansions of C Q,V (t) from part 1.

28 QM on a circle, square well potential (6) Determination of physical hadron masses (hadron masses at unfixed topology) from fixed topology simulations based on the 1/V expansions from part 1: 1. Perform simulations at fixed topology for different topological charges Q and spacetime volumes V. Determine fixed topology hadron masses defined e.g. via M Q,V M eff Q,V(t M ) = d dt ln(c Q,V(t)) t=tm (t M should be chosen such that the expansions used in step 2 are good approximations). 2. Determine M H (0) (the hadron mass at unfixed topology), E 2 = χ t, (0),... by fitting an effective mass expression derived e.g. from M (2) H C Q,V (t M ) = α(0) ( 1+x2 /E 2 V exp M H (0)t M 1 ( 1 ) 1 E 2 V 1+x 2 /E 2 V 1 2 Q2), (x 2 M (2) H (0)t M) to M Q,V obtained in step 1.

29 QM on a circle, square well potential (7) Mimic the method to determine a physical hadron mass (at unfixed topology) from fixed topology computations: 1. Use the exact result for the effective mass to generate ˆM Q,ˆT values (at ˆt M = 20.0) for several topological charges Q = 0,1,2,3,4 and temporal extensions ˆT = 2.0/Ê2,3.0/Ê2,...,10.0/Ê2. 2. Perform a single fit as explained on the previous slide (only those masses ˆM Q,ˆT enter the fit, for which the conditions (C1) and (C2) are fulfilled).

30 QM on a circle, square well potential (8) Alternatively one could perform the fit directly on the correlator level : 1. Perform simulations at fixed topology for different topological charges Q and spacetime volumes V. Determine C Q,V (t) for each simulation. 2. Determine the physical hadron mass M H (0) by performing a single χ 2 minimizing fit of one of the 1/V expansions of C Q,V (t) to the numerical results obtained in step 1. This input from step 1 is limited to those Q, V and t values, for which the conditions (C1), (C2) and (C4) are fulfilled.

33 Schwinger model (2) Schwinger model on the lattice: Periodic spacetime lattice with N 2 L lattice sites (extension of L = N La, spacetime volume V = L 2 ). N f = 2 flavors of Wilson fermions and the Wilson plaquette gauge action. Dimensionful quantities are expressed in units of a, e.g. ĝ = ga and ˆm = ma (it is common to also use the dimensionless inverse squared coupling constant β = 1/ĝ 2 ). Approach the continuum limit by increasing N L, while keeping the dimensionless ratios gl = ĝn L and M π L = ˆM π N L fixed (M π : pion mass); this requires to decrease both ĝ and ˆM π proportional to 1/N L (for the latter ˆm has to be adjusted appropriately).
