Fermions in the pseudoparticle approach — •Marc Wagner — Institute for Theoretical Physics III, University of Erlangen, Staudtstraße 7, 91058 Erlangen

The pseudoparticle approach is a numerical technique to compute path integrals without discretizing spacetime. The basic idea is to integrate over those field configurations, which can be represented by a sum of a fixed number of localized building blocks (pseudoparticles). In a couple of previous papers (c.f. e.g. [1]) we have successfully applied the pseudoparticle approach to pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. In this talk we discuss how to incorporate fermionic fields in the pseudoparticle approach. To give a simple example, we apply our method to determine the phase diagram of the Gross-Neveu model.
