Complex Langevin equation and the many-fermion problem

چکیده
We study the utility of a complex Langevin ~CL! equation as an alternative for the Monte Carlo ~MC! procedure in the evaluation of expectation values occurring in fermionic many-body problems. We find that a CL approach is natural in cases where nonpositive definite probability measures occur, and remains accurate even when the corresponding MC calculation develops a severe ‘‘sign problem.’’ While the convergence of CL averages cannot be guaranteed in principle, we show how convergent results can be obtained in two simple quantum mechanical models, as well as a nontrivial schematic shell model path integral with multiple particles and a noncommuting interaction ~the Lipkin model!.

Stochastic quantization at finite chemical potential
A nonperturbative lattice study of QCD at finite chemical potential is complicated due to the complex fermion determinant and the sign problem. Here we apply the method of stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to this problem. We present results for U(1) and SU(3) one link models and QCD at finite chemical potential using the hopping expansion. The phase of the determinant is st...

Introduction: Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) provides visual contrast, depends on Brownian motion of water molecules. The diffusive behavior of water in cells alters in many disease states. Dephasing is a factor of magnetic field inhomogeneity, heterogeneity of tissue and etc., which is associated with the signal amplitude. In a series of DWI acquisition...
متن کاملSolvability of Nonlinear Langevin Equation Involving Two Fractional Orders with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions
We study a Dirichlet boundary value problem for Langevin equation involving two fractional orders. Langevin equation has been widely used to describe the evolution of physical phenomena in fluctuating environments. However, ordinary Langevin equation does not provide the correct description of the dynamics for systems in complex media. In order to overcome this problem and describe dynamical pr...

We study a non-ergodic transition in a many-body Langevin system. We first derive an equation for the two-point time correlation function of density fluctuations, ignoring the contributions of the thirdand fourth-order cummulants. For this equation, with the average density fixed, we find that there is a critical temperature at which the qualitative nature of the trajectories around the trivial...
