A new algorithm is developed allowing the Monte Carlo study of a 1 + 1 dimensional theory in real time. The main algorithmic development is to avoid the explicit calculation of the Jacobian matrix and its determinant in the update process. This improvement has a wide applicability and reduces the cost of the update in thimble-inspired calculations from O(N^3) to less than O(N^2). As an additional feature, the algorithm leads to improved Monte Carlo proposals. We exemplify the use of the algorithm to the real time dynamics of a scalar {phi}^4 theory with weak and strong couplings.

A trial application of the method of Feynman-Kleinert approximants is made to perturbation series arising in connection with the lattice Schwinger model. In extrapolating the lattice strong-coupling series to the weak-coupling continuum limit, the approximants do not converge well. In interpolating between the continuum perturbation series at large fermion mass and small fermion mass, however, the approximants do give good results. In the course of the calculations, we picked up and rectified an error in an earlier derivation of the continuum series coefficients.
The coupled cluster method has been applied to the eigenvalue problem lattice Hamiltonian QCD (without quarks) for SU(2) gauge fields in two space dimensions. Using a recently presented new formulation and the truncation prescription of Guo et al. we were able to compute the ground state and the lowest $0^+$-glueball mass up to the sixth order of the coupled cluster expansion. The results show evidence for a ``scaling window (i.e. good convergence and constance of dimensionless quantities) around $beta=4/g^2 approx 3$. A comparison of our results to those of other methods is presented.
In Monte Carlo simulation, lattice field theory with a $theta$ term suffers from the sign problem. This problem can be circumvented by Fourier-transforming the topological charge distribution $P(Q)$. Although this strategy works well for small lattice volume, effect of errors of $P(Q)$ becomes serious with increasing volume and prevents one from studying the phase structure. This is called flattening. As an alternative approach, we apply the maximum entropy method (MEM) to the Gaussian $P(Q)$. It is found that the flattening could be much improved by use of the MEM.
We have studied the link-integration method for the improved actions. With this method the $eta$ parameter in the medium to strong coupling regions is obtained. Effects of the self-energy terms for the $eta$ parameters are small in the regions of $beta$ and $eta$ studied. After these investigations, the anisotropic lattice is used for the calculation of transport coefficients of the quark gluon plasma.
This letter reports on a new procedure for the lattice spacing setting that takes advantage of the very precise determination of the strong coupling in Taylor scheme. Although it can be applied for the physical scale setting with the experimental value of $Lambda_{overline{rm MS}}$ as an input, the procedure is particularly appropriate for relative calibrations. The method is here applied for simulations with four degenerate light quarks in the sea and leads to prove that their physical scale is compatible with the same one for simulations with two light and two heavy flavours.
