abstract

In this talk I review the proposal to formulate quantum field theories (QFTs) on a Lefschetz thimble, which was put forward to enable Monte Carlo simulations of lattice QFTs affected by sign problem. First I will review the theoretical justification of the approach, and comment on some open issues. Then, I will review the algorithms that have been proposed and are being tested to represent and simulate a lattice QFT on a Lefschetz thimble. In particular, I will review the lessons from the very first models of QFTs that have been studied with this approach.

Constrained Symplectic Quantization II: The Free Scalar Field

hep-th · 2026-05-26 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Constrained symplectic quantization applied to the free scalar field reproduces the Feynman generating functional in the continuum limit and matches standard correlators, commutators, and Dyson-Schwinger equations in 1+1 dimensions via numerical evolution.
