The Adaptive Aggregation-based Domain Decomposition Multigrid method (arXiv:1303.1377) is extended for two degenerate flavors of twisted mass fermions. By fine-tuning the parameters we achieve a speed-up of the order of hundred times compared to the conjugate gradient algorithm for the physical value of the pion mass. A thorough analysis of the aggregation parameters is presented, which provides a novel insight into multigrid methods for lattice QCD independently of the fermion discretization.

This approach shows how to understand the pattern of mixing that is allowed by chiral symmetry breaking and obtain a master formula for renormalizing the nonlocal operator that depends on three parameters and presents an approach for nonperturbatively determining these parameters and use perturbation theory to convert to the modified minimal subtraction scheme.
