Adaptive gauge cooling for complex Langevin dynamics

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2014-10-20 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

In the case of nonabelian gauge theories with a complex weight, a controlled exploration of the complexified configuration space during a complex Langevin process requires the use of SL(N,C) gauge cooling, in order to minimize the distance from SU(N). Here we show that adaptive gauge cooling can lead to an efficient implementation of this idea. First results for SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in the presence of a nonzero theta-term are presented as well.
