Abstract

We present a cluster algorithm for the N_t = 1 finite temperature SU(2) gauge theory. The algorithm efficiently flips the signs of the Polyakov loops; ergodicity is ensured by combining it with a standard local procedure. The dependence of the autocorrelation time on the ratio between the number of cluster steps and that of local steps is investigated in detail. At the finite temperature transition, critical slowing down is reduced drastically, the dynamical critical exponent z for the combined algorithm being z {reversed tilde equals} 0.5.
