Abstract

Employing a fermion algorithm that incorporates the fermion determinant exactly, we obtain a variety of physical observables for four flavors of staggered fermions of mass ma = 0.05 and 0.1 on a 44 lattice. Our results should be valuable in testing other approximate but more efficient algorithms. As an example,, we compare the pseudofermion method with the exact algorithm. While a quantitatively good agreement obtained previously for ma = 0.1 is confirmed by our more detailed analysis, the method seems neither efficient nor accurate at the lower mass of 0.05.
