Abstract

Tensor network is an attractive approach to field theory with negative sign problem. The complex ϕ4\phi^4 theory at finite density is a test bed for numerical algorithms to verify their effectiveness. The model shows a characteristic feature called the Silver Blaze phenomenon associated with the sign problem in the large volume limit at low temperature. We analyze the four-dimensional model employing the anisotropic tensor renormalization group algorithm. We find a clear signal of the Silver Blaze phenomenon on a large volume of V=10244V=1024^4, which implies that the tensor network approach is effective even for four-dimensional field theory beyond two dimensions.
