Description

The analysis of the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm developed by Luscher and Schaefer is generalized to include Fourier acceleration. We show for the $\phi^4$ theory examined by Luscher and Schaefer that Fourier acceleration removes the non-renormalizable, singular behavior which they discovered and likely defines a renormalizable theory for the five-dimensional correlation functions in Euclidean space and Monte Carlo time.
