Lattice scalar field theories encounter a sign problem when the coupling constant is complex. This is a close cousin of the real-time sign problems that afflict the lattice Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, and a more distant relative of the…
Approaches to finite baryon density lattice QCD usually suffer from uncontrolled systematic uncertainties in addition to the well-known sign problem. We test a method - sign reweighting - that works directly at finite chemical potential and…
We study the Stephanov model, which is an RMT model for QCD at finite density, using the Complex Langevin algorithm. Naive implementation of the algorithm shows convergence towards the phase quenched or quenched theory rather than to…
We investigate the sign problem in 0+1 dimensional QCD at finite chemical potential by using the path optimization method. The SU(3) link variable is complexified to the SL(3,$\mathbb{C}$) link variable, and the integral path is represented…
We discuss the flavor number dependence of QCD at low temperature and high density by the complex Langevin method. In our previous work, the complex Langevin method is confirmed to satisfy the criterion for correct convergence in certain…

We present a Monte Carlo simulation of an effective theory for local Polyakov loops at finite temperature and density. The sign problem is overcome by mapping the partition sum to a flux representation. We determine the phase diagram of the…

In application of the complex Langevin method to QCD at high density and low temperature, the singular-drift problem occurs due to the appearance of near-zero eigenvalues of the Dirac operator. In order to avoid this problem, we proposed to…
We study the strong convergence of some operator-splitting methods for the Langevin dynamics model with additive noise. It will be shown that a direct splitting of deterministic and random terms, including the symmetric splitting methods,…
Since Kramers' pioneering work in 1940, significant efforts have been devoted to studying Langevin equations applied to physical and chemical reactions projected onto few collective variables, with particular focus on the inference of their…
We study one-dimensional QCD at finite quark density by using the sign optimization framework. The fermion sign problem is mitigated by deforming the path integral domain, $SU(3)$ to a complexified one ${\cal M} \subset SL(3)$, explicitly…
Stochastic quantization offers the opportunity to simulate field theories with a complex action. In some theories unstable trajectories are prevalent when a constant stepsize is employed. We construct algorithms for generating an adaptive…
Gradient Langevin dynamics and a variety of its variants have attracted increasing attention owing to their convergence towards the global optimal solution, initially in the unconstrained convex framework while recently even in convex…
At sufficiently high temperature and density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts phase transition from the hadronic phase to the quark-gluon plasma phase. Lattice QCD is the most useful tool to investigate this critical phenomenon, which…
In the complex Langevin approach to lattice simulations at nonzero density, zeroes of the fermion determinant lead to a meromorphic drift and hence a need to revisit the theoretical derivation. We discuss how poles in the drift affect the…
A method is presented to tackle the sign problem in the simulations of systems having indefinite or complex-valued measures. In general, this new approach is shown to yield statistical errors smaller than the crude Monte Carlo using…
Thimble regularisation of lattice field theories has been proposed as a solution to the infamous sign problem. It is conceptually very clean and powerful, but it is in practice limited by a potentially very serious issue: in general many…
We argue the sign problem of the fermion determinant at finite density. It is unavoidable not only in Monte-Carlo simulations on the lattice but in the mean-field approximation as well. A simple model deriving from Quantum Chromodynamics…
