   Abstract:
   We examine a (3 + 1)-dimensional model of staggered lattice fermions with a four-fermion interaction and ℤ(2) chiral symmetry using the Hamiltonian formulation. This model cannot be simulated with standard fermion algorithms because those suffer from a very severe sign problem. We use a new fermion simulation technique - the meron-cluster algorithm - which solves the sign problem and leads to high-precision numerical data. We investigate the finite temperature chiral phase transition and verify that it is in the universality class of the 3-d Ising model using finite-size scaling. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
