Dual Methods for Lattice Field Theories at Finite Density

Abstract

We present a dual representation of the partition function of the charged scalar field in which the complex action problem at non-zero chemical potential is absent. In this dual representation Monte Carlo simulations are possible and we show some physical results obtained with this approach. Furthermore we present a technique to study 2-point functions at finite density. Results for the lattice correlators at various chemical potentials are shown and discussed.
