Dear Richard,

thank you very much! This is really extremely useful data for us.

Attached is a comparison of our rescaled QMC data (red) with your data (blue, dashed); here, the U=8 set is from your recent PRL while the thicker and thinner lines/symbols for U=10 are for dtau=0.0833 and dtau=0.125, respectively. The green long-dashed lines are DMFT data calculated for the paramagnetic phase on the square lattice (thin dtau=0.1, thick: extrapolated to dtau=0); the corresponding AF data (squares) is still preliminary and incomplete.

As you can see, the agreement at T>0.5 is even much better for U=10 than for U=8. This looks promising to me.

Dear Nils,

I finished the dtau=0.0833 runs (still 8x8 lattices).  I'm afraid
the Trotter errors seem to be shifting us away from your 0.025
minimum.  Agreement would be worse after the extrapolation to
dtau=0.

These slight differences do not worry me at all. I mean, nobody would have expected any sort of agreement with DMFT in 2 dimensions.

 It's possible finite lattice size corrections woul
affect the results further.  I will not do these at the present,
however, since I am not sure with what level of precision you really
want to do the comparison.

I think we should first verify the trends without investing too much human and computer time and then decide about accuracies.

dtau     0.125   0.0833
Dmin    0.02512  0.02695
D(T=0)  0.03186  0.03501
rise      27%       30%

I find this encouraging: the relative enhancement goes up, in particular relative to the "paramagnetic behavior" (within DMFT). In fact D(T=0) might extrapolate pretty exactly to the (extrapolated to dtau=0 and rescaled) DMFT value, i.e. to about 0.038. Of course, the fact that the enhancement of D sets in at larger T in your data is a significant modification of the DMFT scenario. But such a trend would be good for experimentalists if also present in 3D.

I would be most interested in comparisons at U=8 with similar statistical accuracy (why are the error bars in the PRL data so large?) and, if possible, also for larger U, e.g. U=12 and U=15. I do not think that we need larger lattices.

I think we are steering towards a joint publication (which should include, on our side, Elena and myself). Do you agree?

Best regards

Nils
