SIGN PROBLEM
Introduction: dense systems
Z=
DA det[D
/ +m
The sign problem
at finite chemical potential
the fermionic determinant is complex:
standard Monte Carlo methods fails
det M(μ) = ¦det M(μ)¦ eiθ
µ 0 /2]eSY M
[det M(μ)]* = det M(-μ*)
Unfortunately we cannot simply neglect the
phase of the determinant. Phase quenched
theory can be very different from the real
world
An example of that difference that we will treat later is
the Silver Blaze phenomenon
Introduction: Lefschetz thimble
We want to overcome sign problem for Lattice QCD
We must be extremely careful not destroying physics
[ Silver Blaze phenomenon ]
whatever machinery we use to solve the theory
Integration on a Lefschetz thimble
Before applying the idea to full QCD we choose to
start from something more manageable: we consider
here integration on Lefschetz thimbles for the case
of a simple 0-dim field theory and
the 4-dim scalar field with a quartic interaction

Computing the contribution from all the thimbles
is probably not feasible
On a Lefschetz thimble the imaginary part of the action is constant
but the measure term does introduce a new residual phase, due to the

Does it lead to a sign problem?
No formal proof but ...
dΦ=1 at leading order and <dΦ> 1 are strongly
suppressed by e-S
there is strong correlation between phase and weight
(precisely the lack of such correlation is the origin of the
sign problem)
In fact this residual phase is completely neglected in the
saddle point method

Lefschetz thimbles and QFT
choosing the stationary point
The study of the stationary points of the complexified theory is mandatory
and has to be done on a case-by-case
The system has a single global minimum?
There are degenerate global minima, that
are however connected by symmetries?
These cases
are good!
There is a large number of stationary points
that accumulate near the global minimum
giving a finite contribution?
This case
can be bad!
There are degenerate global minima, with
vanishing probability of tunneling?

This is an exact reformulation of the original
path integral.
For a QFT reproducing the original integral
is both impractical and unnecessary
Consider the stationary point with the lower value
of the real part of the action and with nσ 0
Define a QFT on the thimble attached to this point. If
The degrees of freedom are the same
The symmetries are the same
The same perturbative expansion

Start from the global minimum of the

vector projected on the thimble and
follow the steepest ascent
Perform a Langevin step using the noise
evolved along the steepest descent and
compute the observables
Go back along the steepest descent
until you are in a region where
quadratic approx. is valid and then
project the configuration on the thimble
Generate a new noise and go
back along the steepest ascent

What about QCD?
Consider the stationary point with the lower value
of the real part of the action and with nσ 0
Define a QFT on the thimble attached to this point.
In QCD this is the trivial vacuum

Equation of steepest descent:

U⌫ (x; ⌧ ) = ( iTa rx,⌫,a S[U ])U⌫ (x; ⌧ )

Defining the thimble for gauge theories is possible: substitute the concept of nondegenerate critical point with that of non-degenerate critical manifold
All the ingredients are there
What about QCD?
The symmetries are the same? Yes
It can be proved starting from the invariance of
the SD equation:
d
U⌫ (x; ⌧ ) = ( iTa rx,⌫,a S[U ])U⌫ (x; ⌧ )
d⌧
Under gauge transformations it changes as:
(Ta rx,⌫,a S[U ]) ! (⇤(x)
1 †
) (Ta rx,⌫,a S[U ])⇤(x)†
U⌫ (x) ! ⇤(x)U⌫ (x)⇤(x + ⌫ˆ)

The full SD equation is invariant only under the SU(3) subgroup of SL(3,C)
this is very interesting: the gauge links are not in SU(3) but the gauge
invariance is exactly the same!
The perturbative expansion is the same? Yes
It is an expansion around the trivial vacuum where the integrand in the
partition function has the form of a gaussian times polynomials
(let me skip the details)
Something else on a Lefschetz thimble

residual phase, reflection positivity ... )
