Description

The Hypercube operator determines a variant of the approximate, truncated perfect fermion action. In this pilot study we are going to report on first experiences in dynamical QCD simulations with the Hypercube fermions. We apply this formulation in an investigation of the finite temperature transition for two flavours. On lattices of size $8^3\times 4$ we explore the phase diagram. Physical scales are estimated from pseudoscalar and vector meson masses obtained on $8^3\times 16$ lattices. We observe the presence of a metastability region but do not find evidence for an Aoki phase. The Hypercube operator allows us to simulate at ratios of pseudoscalar to vector meson masses at least as small as 0.8 at the thermal crossover at $N_t=4$, which renders this formulation cheaper than the Wilson like fermions.
