Complex Langevin boundary terms in full QCD

Abstract

Lattice simulations of non-zero density QCD introduce the so-called sign problem (complex or negative probabilities), which invalidates importance sampling methods. To circumvent this, we use the Complex Langevin Equation (CLE), to measure the boundary terms and then compare these results with the ones gotten from reweighting, confirming the expectations from previous studies. We also investigate boundary terms in simulations using CLE with dynamic stabilization and compare this, to results calculated with reweighting.
