Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. Convergence and features of the stochastic process. Computations at fixed (Landau) Gauge

Abstract

Concerning Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory, we discuss the convergence of the stochastic process (idea of the proof, features of the limit distribution, rate of convergence to equilibrium). Then we also discuss the expected fluctuations in the observables and give some idea to reduce them. In the end we show that also computation of quantities at fixed (Landau) Gauge is now possible.
