This study reduces the autocorrelation time of the topological charge in lattice calculations using a density of states approach and simulated tempering across couplings. The results show a significant reduction in the exponent related to the growth of autocorrelation time, providing firm evidence for the method's accuracy and efficiency near the continuum limit in SU(3) pure Yang Mills gauge theory.
In lattice calculations, the approach to the continuum limit is hindered by the severe freezing of the topological charge, which prevents ergodic sampling in configuration space. In order to significantly reduce the autocorrelation time of the topological charge, we develop a density of states approach with a smooth constraint and use it to study SU(3) pure Yang Mills gauge theory near the continuum limit. Our algorithm relies on simulated tempering across a range of couplings, which guarantees the decorrelation of the topological charge and ergodic sampling of topological sectors. Particular emphasis is placed on testing the accuracy, efficiency and scaling properties of the method. In their most conservative interpretation, our results provide firm evidence of a sizeable reduction of the exponent z related to the growth of the autocorrelation time as a function of the inverse lattice spacing.
