Event details
We study QCD with a single quark flavour on the lattice, probing
predictions from effective field theories that are equivalent
to minimal super-symmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large NC limit.
Since lattice simulations with an odd number of Wilson fermions can
give rise to regions of configuration space with a negative fermionic
weight, they can be afflicted by a sign problem. I will present a
detailed analysis of this and report on observed cases of a negative
fermion determinant in our ensembles. Finally, I will outline our plans
to extend this calculation to larger numbers of colours.

About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
