The sign problem at nonzero chemical potential prohibits the use of importance sampling in lattice simulations. Since complex Langevin dynamics does not rely on importance sampling, it provides a potential solution. Recently it was shown that complex Langevin dynamics fails in the disordered phase in the case of the three-dimensional XY model, while it appears to work in the entire phase diagram in the case of the three-dimensional SU(3) spin model. Here we analyse this difference and argue that it is due to the presence of the nontrivial Haar measure in the SU(3) case, which has a stabilizing effect on the complexified dynamics. The freedom to modify and stabilize the complex Langevin process is discussed in some detail.

  1. Lefschetz thimble-inspired weight regularizations for complex Langevin simulations

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A single compact Lefschetz thimble restores correct complex Langevin convergence, and a Dyson-Schwinger bias correction recovers the original expectation values.

  2. Diffusion models learn distributions generated by complex Langevin dynamics

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Diffusion models reproduce the distributions sampled by complex Langevin dynamics in a Gaussian and a quartic toy model with complex mass.

  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.
