Complex Langevin: Boundary terms and application to QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2018-10-30 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We employ the Complex Langevin method for simulation of complex-valued actions. First, we show how to test for convergence of the method by explicitely computing boundary terms and demonstrate this in a model. Then we investigate the deconfinement phase transition of QCD with Nf=2N_f=2 Wilson-fermions using the Complex Langevin Method and. We give preliminary results for the transition temperatures up to μ/Tc(μ=0)5\mu/T_c(\mu=0)\approx 5 and compute the curvature coefficient κ2\kappa_2.
