Evaluation of the Bilinear Condensate of the Planar Thirring Model in the Strongly Coupled Region

The planar Thirring model is thought to have a strongly coupled critical point for a single flavour of fermion. We look at the calculation of the bilinear condensate in this critical region, and its characterisation via an equation of state. Since the computation is numerically challenging we investigate improved Dirac operators. We present findings on different methods of calculation using a rational hybrid Monte Carlo scheme, and calculations of the bilinear condensate, an equation of state, and the associated critical exponents. Overlap and domain wall Dirac operators, and variants therein are considered.
