Stochastic quantization at finite chemical potential
نویسنده
چکیده
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 studied in detail. Even in the region where the sign problem is severe, we find excellent agreement between the Langevin results and exact expressions, if available. We give a partial understanding of this in terms of classical flow diagrams and eigenvalues of the Fokker-Planck equation. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] 1

Can stochastic quantization evade the sign problem? The relativistic bose gas at finite chemical potential.
A nonperturbative study of field theories with a complex action, such as QCD at finite baryon density, is difficult due to the sign problem. We show that the relativistic Bose gas at finite chemical potential has a sign and "silver blaze" problem, similar to QCD. We then apply stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to study this theory with nonperturbative lattice simulations. In...
متن کاملStochastic quantization at nonzero chemical potential
Lattice QCD at finite chemical potential is difficult due to the sign problem. We use stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to study this issue. First results for QCD in the hopping expansion are encouraging. U(1) and SU(3) one link models are used to gain further insight into why the method appears to be successful.

After a few remarks about the problem of extracting transport coefficients from lattice QCD calculations, I report on recent developments in applying stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to field theories with a complex action due to a nonzero chemical potential. First results demonstrate that the sign problem poses no obstacle for this approach, even in the thermodynamic limit...
متن کاملComplex Langevin dynamics at finite chemical potential: mean field analysis in the relativistic Bose gas
Stochastic quantization can potentially be used to simulate theories with a complex action due to a nonzero chemical potential. We study complex Langevin dynamics in the relativistic Bose gas analytically, using a mean field approximation. We concentrate on the region with a Silver Blaze problem and discuss convergence, stability and fixed points. The real distribution satisfying the extended F...
متن کاملQuantization and fractional quantization of currents in periodically driven stochastic systems. I. Average currents.
This article studies Markovian stochastic motion of a particle on a graph with finite number of nodes and periodically time-dependent transition rates that satisfy the detailed balance condition at any time. We show that under general conditions, the currents in the system on average become quantized or fractionally quantized for adiabatic driving at sufficiently low temperature. We develop the...
