HU+DESY Lattice Seminars

This seminar series is organised jointly by the NIC Research Group at DESY Zeuthen and the Theory of Elementary Particles and Computational Theoretical Physics research groups of the Institute for Physics at Humboldt University. For questions please contact Dr. Lorenzo Barca (DESY Zeuthen).

Some seminars will be held in person and some on zoom, generally on Mondays at 13:15. Due to the participation of international speakers some seminars may start at 15:00. Please check the individual dates. The Zoom connection details will be announced via the lat-bb mailing list. In-person seminars will be in the IRIS building in Adlershof (zum Großen Windkanal 2), but the room may change.

Claudio Bonanno, Yang-Mills topology on the lattice via Parallel Tempering on Boundary Conditions

Date: Monday, April 13, 2026
Time: 1:15 pm (Europe/Berlin)
Location: HU ZGW 1.021
Links: Indico iCal

I will present the Parallel Tempering on Boundary Conditions (PTBC) algorithm I have implemented and employed in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories and Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) to mitigate the infamous topological freezing problem. I will discuss the principal results I have achieved with PTBC, and I will outline future research avenues I aim at pursuing via its employment.
