We present a new multigrid solver that is suitable for the Dirac operator in the presence of
disordered gauge fields. The key behind the success of the algorithm is an adaptive
projection onto the coarse grids that preserves the near null space. The resulting algorithm
has weak dependence on the gauge coupling and exhibits mild critical slowing down in the
chiral limit. Results are presented for the Wilson Dirac operator of the 2d U (1) Schwinger
model.
