Monte Carlo calculation for systems consisting of several coordinate patches

Abstract

I investigate the time step dependence of Monte Carlo simulations for coordinate-spaces consisting of several patches. It is shown that a naive kinetic term does not necessarily converge to the same spectrum as a Hamiltonian calculation. Then an improved kinetic term is presented which allows one to connect the Monte Carlo and Rayleigh-Ritz results of intermediate volume SU(2) gauge theory.
