Lattice field theories with a complex action can be studied numerically by allowing a complexified configuration space to be explored. Here we compare the recently introduced formulation on a Lefschetz thimble with the result from stochastic quantisation (or complex Langevin dynamics) in the case of a simple model and contrast the distributions being sampled. We also study the role of the residual phase on the Lefschetz thimble.

  1. The Role of Integration Cycles in Complex Langevin Simulations

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Complex Langevin results in one- and two-dimensional toy models match a linear combination of integration cycles when boundary terms vanish, and the kernel choice controls which cycles contribute.

  2. On the negative coupling O(N) model in 2d at high temperature

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the 2d negative-coupling O(N) model at large N, the correct vacuum is a saddle point on a non-principal Riemann sheet, giving a real free energy and dynamical stability at all temperatures.

  3. Combining complex Langevin dynamics with score-based and energy-based diffusion models

    hep-lat 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Energy-based diffusion models trained on complex Langevin data produce an explicit energy function for the sampled distribution, enabling MCMC without re-simulation.
