Asymptotic properties of path integral ideals.

We introduce and analyze an interesting quantity, the path integral ideal, governing the flow of generic discrete theories to the continuum limit and greatly increasing their convergence. The said flow is classified according to the degree of divergence of the potential at spatial infinity. Studying the asymptotic behavior of path integral ideals we isolate the dominant terms in the effective potential that determine the behavior of a generic theory for large discrete time steps.

Systematically accelerated convergence of path integrals.

We present a new analytical method that systematically improves the convergence of path integrals of a generic N-fold discretized theory. Using it we calculate the effective actions S(p) for p< or =9, which lead to the same continuum amplitudes as the starting action, but that converge to that continuum limit as 1/N(p). We checked this derived speedup in convergence by performing Monte Carlo simulations on several different models.
