Dual lattice representations forO(N)andCP(N−1)models with a chemical potential

Zusammenfassung

We derive dual representations for O(N) and CP(N - 1) models on the lattice. In terms of the dual variables the partition sums have only real and positive contributions also at finite chemical potential. Thus the complex action problem of the conventional formulation is overcome and using the dual variables Monte Carlo simulations are possible at arbitrary chemical potential. (C) 2015 The Authors.
