We propose a new approach to the fermion sign problem in systems where there is a
coupling U such that when it is infinite the fermions are paired into bosons, and there is no
fermion permutation sign to worry about. We argue that as U becomes finite, fermions are
liberated but are naturally confined to regions which we refer to as fermion bags. The
fermion sign problem is then confined to these bags and may be solved using the
determinantal trick. In the parameter regime where the fermion bags are small and their …

We propose a new approach to the fermion sign problem in systems where there is a coupling such that when it is infinite the fermions are paired into bosons, and there is no fermion permutation sign to worry about. We argue that as becomes finite, fermions are liberated but are naturally confined to regions which we refer to as fermion bags. The fermion sign problem is then confined to these bags and may be solved using the determinantal trick. In the parameter regime where the fermion bags are small and their typical size does not grow with the system size, construction of Monte Carlo methods that are far more efficient than conventional algorithms should be possible. In the region where the fermion bags grow with system size, the fermion bag approach continues to provide an alternative approach to the problem but may lose its main advantage in terms of efficiency. The fermion bag approach also provides new insights and solutions to sign problems. A natural solution to the “silver blaze problem” also emerges. Using the three-dimensional massless lattice Thirring model as an example, we introduce the fermion bag approach and demonstrate some of these features. We compute the critical exponents at the quantum phase transition and find and .
