16 Before talking about Monte Carlo: Why do we need it?
17 One-way ticket to disaster f(x1,x2,,xp) n bins for p variables n p terms n=100, p=10 n p =10 20 n=100, p=15 n p =10 30 x1,x2,,xp
18 One-way ticket to disaster f(x1,x2,,xp) n bins for p variables n p terms n=100, p=10 n p =10 20 n=100, p=15 n p =10 30 x1,x2,,xp Livermore Lab Sequoia 20PFLOPS ( double-precision floating-point arithmetics/second) operations/5000 seconds operations/634,000 years
19 f(x1,x2,,xp) = exp( S[x1,x2,,xp]) Most of the bins are not important. We should pick up only important bins which contributes to the integral significantly. ( importance sampling ) altitude S[x] (Wikipedia)
20 What is Monte Carlo?
21 Consider field theory on Euclidean spacetime with the action. Generate field configurations with probability e S. ( Important samples are created more.) Then, Such a set of configurations can be generated as long as
22 generate a chain of field configurations with a transition probability Markov chain : transition probability from Ck to Ck+1 does not depend on C0,...,Ck-1 : probability of obtaining C at k-th step Choose so that
23 Nicholas Constantine Metropolis ( ) algorithm = choice of Metropolis simplest Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) useful for fermions Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo (RHMC)...etc etc...
24 Basic requirements Markov chain. Irreducibility. Aperiodicity. Detailed balance.
25 Markov Chain C0 C1 C2 Ck Ck+1 P[Ck Ck+1] does not depend on C0, C1,, Ck-1 xk xk+1=xk+δx, -1 Δx 1: uniform random number xk xk+1=xk+δx, xk-1 Δx xk-1 : uniform random number
26 Irreducibility Any two configurations are connected by finite number of steps. L -c Δx c: uniform random number c<l c>l Δx: Gaussian Random
27 Aperiodicity period of C = greatest common divisor of possible number of steps for C C aperiodic : period=1 for any C xk = positive for even k, negative for odd k (period = even) e.g. xk+1=xk*(negative random number)
28 Detailed Balance Condition Why? e S[C] P[C C ] = e S[C ] P[C C] ΣC P[C]P[C C ] = P[C ] for stationary distribution If the detailed balance condition is satisfied, P[C] e S[C] is a stationary distribution, because ΣC e S[C] P[C C ] = ΣC e S[C ] P[C C] = e S[C ] ΣC P[C C] = e S[C ]
29 Gaussian integral
30 Metropolis algorithm (Metropolis-Rosenbluth^2-Teller^2, 1953) (1) vary the field x randomly: (2) accept the new configuration with a probability where Metropolis test
31 Detailed balance ΔS = S[x ] S[x] > 0, without loss of generality. P[x x ] = 0 if x-x > 0.5; e ΔS otherwise P[x x] = 0 if x-x > 0.5; 1 otherwise e S[x] P[x x ] e S[x] e ΔS = e S[x ] e S[x ] P[x x] e S[x ]
32 Initial condition : x=0
33 100 samples 1000 samples , , samples 0.6 samples X X
34 history of x2
35
36 Initial condition : x=10 quickly thermalizes use only these configurations to calculate the expectation value. after the thermalization, configuration with small weight never appears in practice importance sampling
37
38 0 metropolis 1 if exp( ΔS) > metropolis
39 HMC, RHMC, only improve this part.
40 A bad example x x+δx, 1/2 Δx +1 Markov Chain Irreducibility Aperiodicity detailed balance
41 A bad example x x+δx, 1/2 Δx +1 Markov Chain Irreducibility Aperiodicity detailed balance #
42 A bad example x x+δx, 1/2 Δx +1 Markov Chain Irreducibility Aperiodicity detailed balance #
43 improving the efficiency
44 Initial condition : x=10 x changes little by little there is a correlation
45 How to adjust step size x x+δx, c Δx +c c too small 100% acceptance, almost random walk; inefficient Δx c, acceptance = 100% c too large rarely accepted; inefficient Δx 1, acceptance 1/c
46 How to adjust step size x n xk xk+n 1 independent samples n=1 for large c c n 1 for small c when accepted
47 How to adjust step size x n xk xk+n 1 independent samples n=1 for large c c n 1 for small c when accepted (acceptance rate) O(c) steps O(1/c 2 ) steps for 1 independent sample
48 How to adjust step size c 4.0 looks good
49 We learned how to calculate VEV s <x>, <x2 > etc How can we calculate the partition function? Z= dx exp( S[x])
50 We want to calculate Z= dx exp( S[x]). Suppose Z0= dx exp( S0[x]) is known; e.g. Gaussian integral. Then, we can use Z=(Z/Z0) Z0, and:
51 However Overlap Problem
52 S[x;c]=(x c) 2 /2 S=S[x;100], S0=[x;0] almost every time we sample here weight exp(s0 S) exp( 5000) sampled only every exp(+5000) times weight exp(s0 S) exp(+5000) Importance sampling is not working; huge error appears
53 Sk=S[x;k]=(x k) 2 /2, k=0,1,2,,100 exp( Sk) and exp( Sk+1) have enough pverlap Zk+1/Zk can be calculated reliably
54 ABJM matrix model Partition function of ABJM theory on S 3 via supersymmetric localization Beautiful analytic results Kapustin, Willett, Yaakov Drukker, Marino, Putrov, Fuji, Hirano, Moriyama,
55
56 Sign Problem What if the action is complex? S=SR+iSI The weight is now complex not probability (ABJM matrix model with different variables)
57 Sign Problem Reweighting can still work in principle In practice it is very hard: almost 0/0
58 Fermion Fermions appear in a bilinear form. (if not.. make them bilinear by introducing auxiliary fields!) can be integrated out by hand. So, simply use the effective action, not always real
59 (no-)sign problem in SYM Almost no sign at high-t Even at low-t, we can justify phase quenching at least numerically. (will be explained later)
60 Plan How to perform (Euclidean) path integral Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) How to define super Yang-Mills lattice, supersymmetry and fine tuning problem Application to gauge/gravity duality
61 warm-up example : Pure Yang-Mills (bosonic)
62 Wilson s lattice gauge theory Unitary link variable : lattice spacing ν μ x
63 Exact symmetries Gauge symmetry 90 degree rotation discrete translation Charge conjugation, parity These symmetries exist at discretized level.
64 Continuum limit respects exact symmetries at discretized level. Exact symmetries at discretized level gauge invariance, translational invariance, rotationally invariant,... in the continuum limit. What happens if the gauge symmetry is explicitly (not spontaneously) broken, (e.g. the sharp momentum cutoff prescription)?
65 We are interested in low-energy, long-distance physics (compared to the lattice spacing ). So let us integrate out high frequency modes. Then... gauge symmetry breaking radiative corrections can appear. To kill them, one has to add counterterms to lattice action, whose coefficients must be fine-tuned! fine tuning problem This is the reason why we must preserve symmetries exactly.
66 Super Yang-Mills
67 No-Go for lattice SYM SUSY algebra contains infinitesimal translation. Infinitesimal translation is broken on lattice by construction. So it is impossible to keep all supercharges exactly on lattice. Then SUSY breaking radiative corrections appear in general. Still it is possible to preserve a part of supercharges. (subalgebra which does not contain )
68 Basic ideas (Kaplan-Katz-Unsal 2002) Keep a few supercharges exact on lattice. Use it (and other discrete symmetries) to forbid SUSY breaking radiative corrections. Only extended SUSY can be realized for a technical reason. In (0+1)-d and (1+1)-d, no fine tuning to all order in perturbation.
69 (0+1)-d SYM Matrix quantum mechanics is UV finite. No fine tuning! (4d N=4 is also UV finite, but that relies on cancellations of the divergences...) We don t have to use lattice. It is sufficient just to fix the gauge & introduce momentum cutoff. (M.H.-Nishimura-Takeuchi, 2007) Lattice can also work, of course. (parallelization is easier)
70 (2+1)-d maximal SYM (Maldacena-Sheikh Jabbari-van Raamsdonk, 2003) Start with the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase Matrix model, which can be formulated without fine tuning. I,J=1,...,9; a,b,c=1,2,3; i=4,...,9 +(fermions) BMN model has (modified) 16 SUSY
71 Fuzzy sphere preserves 16 SUSY. Around it one obtains (2+1)-d SYM on noncommutative space. Fuzzy D2 brane out of N D0 branes (R. C. Myers 1999) Lattice is embedded in matrices. Large-N = continuum limit With maximal SUSY, commutative limit of the noncommutative space is smooth. (no UV/IR mixing) (Matusis-Susskind-Toumbas 00)
72 s spin-s representation (2s+1) (2s+1) matrix s spherical lattice consisting of (2s+1) 2 points ( fuzzy sphere ) D2-brane made of D0-branes k-copies of spin-s fuzzy sphere = k-coincident D2 N = (2s+1)k
73 (3+1)-d SYM 4d N=1 pure SYM : lattice chiral fermion assures SUSY (Kaplan 1984, Curci-Veneziano 1986) 4d N=4 : Again Hybrid formulation: Lattice + fuzzy sphere (M.H.-Matsuura-Sugino 2010, M.H. 2010) Large-N Eguchi-Kawai reduction(ishii-ishiki-shimasaki-tsuchiya, 2008) Fine tuning with 4d lattice (Catterall, Damgaard, Degrand, Joseph, Giedt, Schaich,., 2012 )

83 problem with flat direction There is a flat direction even at quantum level.
84 eigenvalues = position of D0-branes bound state of eigenvalues = black hole flat direction gas of D0-branes One has to restrict the path integral in order to extract the black hole.
