Lattice simulation of the SU(2) chiral model at zero and non-zero pion density

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We propose a flux representation based lattice formulation of the partition function corresponding to the SU(2) principal chiral Lagrangian, including a chemical potential and scalar/pseudo-scalar source terms. Lattice simulations are then used to obtain non-perturbative properties of the theory, in particular its mass spectrum at zero and non-zero pion density. We also sketch a method to efficiently measure general one- and two-point functions during the worm updates.
