Numerical Computations in the Worldsheet Formulation

Abstract

The worldsheet formulation of lattice gauge theories has two appealing features: the gauge non-redundancy and the geometrical transparency. Both properties are profitable in order to perform numerical computations. In the case of dynamical fermions this description offers additional advantages. For instance, it does not suffer from the species doubling problem and it involves fewer degrees of freedom.
