Abstract

We propose a new method for representing the path integral over gauge fields as a tensor network. We apply the tensor renormalization group with this method to three-dimensional pure 𝑆𝑈(2) gauge theory. Our result for the free energy in the weak/strong coupling regime agrees with that obtained by the weak/strong coupling expansion.

Toward tensor renormalization group study of three-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theory

Takaaki Kuwahara, Asato Tsuchiya

Abstract We propose a method to represent the path integral over gauge fields as a tensor network. We introduce a trial action with variational parameters and generate gauge field configurations with the weight defined by the trial action. We construct initial tensors with indices labelling these gauge field configurations. We perform the tensor renormalization group (TRG) with the initial tensors and optimize the variational parameters. As a first step to the TRG study of non-Abelian gauge theory in more than two dimensions, we apply this method to three-dimensional pure SU(2) gauge theory. Our result for the free energy agrees with the analytical results in the weak and strong coupling regimes.

Tensor network approach to two-dimensional Yang–Mills theories

Masafumi Fukuma, Daisuke Kadoh, Nobuyuki Matsumoto

Abstract We propose a novel tensor network representation for two-dimensional Yang–Mills theories with arbitrary compact gauge groups. In this method, tensor indices are given directly by group elements with no direct use of the character expansion. We apply the tensor renormalization group method to this tensor network for SU(2) and SU(3), and find that the free energy density and the energy density are accurately evaluated. We also show that the singular value decomposition of a tensor has a group-theoretic structure and can be associated with the character expansion.

In this method, tensor indices are directly given by group elements with no direct use of the character expansion. We apply the tensor renormalization group method to this tensor network for $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$, and find that the free energy density and the energy density are accurately evaluated. We also show that the singular value decomposition of a tensor has a group theoretic structure and can be associated with the character expansion.

Tensor renormalization group study of the three-dimensional SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories with the reduced tensor network formulation

Atis Yosprakob, Kouichi Okunishi

We perform a tensor renormalization group simulation of non-Abelian gauge theory in three dimensions using a formulation based on the `armillary sphere.' In this formulation, matrix indices are completely traced out, eliminating the degeneracy in the singular value spectrum of the initial tensor. We demonstrate the usefulness of this technique by computing the average plaquette at zero temperature and the Polyakov loop susceptibility at finite temperatures for 2+1D SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories. The deconfinement transition is identified for both gauge groups, with the SU(2) case being consistent with previous Monte Carlo results.

Tensor network representation of non-abelian gauge theory coupled to reduced staggered fermions

Muhammad Asaduzzaman, Simon M. Catterall, Yannick Meurice +2 more

A bstract We show how to construct a tensor network representation of the path integral for reduced staggered fermions coupled to a non-abelian gauge field in two dimensions. The resulting formulation is both memory and computation efficient because reduced staggered fermions can be represented in terms of a minimal number of tensor indices while the gauge sector can be approximated using Gaussian quadrature with a truncation. Numerical results obtained using the Grassmann TRG algorithm are shown for the case of SU(2) lattice gauge theory and compared to Monte Carlo results.
