Worm Algorithm for Abelian Gauge-Higgs Models
Abstract: We present the surface worm algorithm (SWA) which is a generalization of the Prokof'ev Svistunov worm algorithm to perform the simulation of the dual representation (surfaces and loops) of Abelian gauge-Higgs models on a lattice. We compare the SWA to a local Metropolis update in the dual representation and show that the SWA outperforms the local update for a wide range of parameters.
