abstract

We discuss conditions under which expectation values computed from a complex Langevin process $Z$ will converge to integral averages over a given complex valued weight function. The difficulties in proving a general result are pointed out. For complex valued polynomial actions, it is shown that for a process converging to a strongly stationary process one gets the correct answer for averages of polynomials if $c_{\tau}(k) \equiv E(e^{ikZ(\tau)}) $ satisfies certain conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied, then the stochastic process is not necessarily described by a complex Fokker Planck equation. The result is illustrated with the exactly solvable complex frequency harmonic oscillator.

  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.
