Flavor symmetry and the static potential with hypercubic blocking
Flavor symmetry and the static potential with hypercubic blocking
We introduce a new smearing transformation, the hypercubic (HYP) fat link. The hypercubic fat link mixes gauge links within hypercubes attached to the original link only. Using quenched lattices at $\ensuremath{\beta}=5.7$ and 6.0 we show that HYP fat links improve flavor symmetry by an order of magnitude relative to the …
