Hard-disk equation of state: First-order liquid-hexatic transition in two dimensions with three simulation methods

We report large-scale computer simulations of the hard-disk system at high densities in the region of the melting transition. Our simulations reproduce the equation of state, previously obtained using the event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm, with a massively parallel implementation of the local Monte...
