Numerical stochastic perturbation theory is a powerful tool for estimating high-order perturbative expansions in lattice field theory. The standard algorithms based on the Langevin equation, however, suffer from several limitations which in practice restrict the potential of this technique. In this work we investigate some alternative methods which could in principle improve on the standard approach. In particular, we present a study of the recently proposed Instantaneous Stochastic Perturbation Theory, as well as a formulation of numerical stochastic perturbation theory based on Generalized Hybrid Molecular Dynamics algorithms. The viability of these methods is investigated in $varphi^4$ theory.

In this contribution we present an exploratory study of several novel methods for numerical stochastic perturbation theory. For the investigation we consider observables defined through the gradient flow in the simple {phi}^4 theory.
We calculate Wilson loops of various sizes up to 20 loops in SU(3) pure lattice gauge theory at different lattice sizes for Wilson gauge action using the technique of numerical stochastic perturbation theory. This allows us to investigate the perturbative series for various Wilson loops at high loop orders. We observe differences in the behavior of those series as function of the loop order. Up to $n=20$ we do not find evidence for the factorial growth of the expansion coefficients often assumed to characterize an asymptotic series. Based on the actually observed behavior we sum the series in a model parametrized by hypergeometric functions. Alternatively we estimate the total series in boosted perturbation theory using information from the first 14 loops. We introduce generalized ratios of Wilson loops of different sizes. Together with the corresponding Wilson loops from standard Monte Carlo measurements they enable us to assess their non-perturbative parts.
We summarize the higher-loop perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Our final aim is to compare with results from lattice simulations in order to expose the genuinely non-perturbative content of the latter. By means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory we compute the ghost and gluon propagators in Landau gauge up to three and four loops. We present results in the infinite volume and $a to 0$ limits, based on a general fitting strategy.
We present the results of an exploratory study of the numerical stochastic perturbation theory (NSPT) applied to the four dimensional twisted Eguchi-Kawai (TEK) model. We employ a Kramers type algorithm based on the Generalized Hybrid Molecular Dynamics (GHMD) algorithm. We have computed the perturbative expansion of square Wilson loops up to $O(g^8)$. The results of the first two coefficients (up to $O(g^4)$) have a high precision and match well with the exact values. The next two coefficients can be determined and even extrapolated to large $N$, where they should coincide with the corresponding coefficients for ordinary Yang-Mills theory on an infinite lattice. Our analysis shows the behaviour of the probability distribution for each coefficient tending to Gaussian for larger $N$. The results allow us to establish the requirements to extend this analysis to much higher order.
The Source Galerkin method finds approximate solutions to the functional differential equations of field theories in the presence of external sources. While developing this process, it was recognized that approximations of the spectral representations of the Greens functions by Sinc function expansions are an extremely powerful calculative tool. Specifically, this understanding makes it not only possible to apply the Source Galerkin method to higher dimensional field theories, but also leads to a new approach to perturbation theory calculations in scalar and fermionic field theories. This report summarizes the methodologies for solving quantum field theories with the Source Galerkin method and for performing perturbation theory calculations using Sinc approximations.
