S. Durr, Prospects of "topologically unquenched QCD" from a study of the analogous importance sampling method in the massive Schwinger model, NUCL PH B-P, 83-4, 2000, pp. 443-445
I give a quick summary of my proposal for simulating an improvement on quen
ched QCD with dynamical fermions which interact with the gluon configuratio
n only via the topological index of the latter. It amounts to include only
the topological part of the functional determinant into the measure, thereb
y absorbing a correction factor into the observable. I discuss the prospect
s of this concept from a study in the massive N-f-flavour Schwinger model,
where the correction factor is indeed found to be of order O(1).
