Complex Langevin dynamics can solve the sign problem appearing in numerical simulations of theories with a complex action. In order to justify the procedure, it is important to understand the properties of the real and positive distribution, which is effectively sampled during the stochastic process. In the context of a simple model, we study this distribution by solving the Fokker-Planck equation as well as by brute force and relate the results to the recently derived criteria for correctness. We demonstrate analytically that it is possible that the distribution has support in a strip in the complexified configuration space only, in which case correct results are expected.

  1. Lefschetz thimble-inspired weight regularizations for complex Langevin simulations

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A single compact Lefschetz thimble restores correct complex Langevin convergence, and a Dyson-Schwinger bias correction recovers the original expectation values.

  2. Diffusion models learn distributions generated by complex Langevin dynamics

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Diffusion models reproduce the distributions sampled by complex Langevin dynamics in a Gaussian and a quartic toy model with complex mass.

  3. Combining complex Langevin dynamics with score-based and energy-based diffusion models

    hep-lat 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Energy-based diffusion models trained on complex Langevin data produce an explicit energy function for the sampled distribution, enabling MCMC without re-simulation.

  4. Thermodynamic Diagnostics for Complex Langevin Simulations: The Role of Configurational Temperature

    hep-lat 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Configurational temperature from action gradients and Hessians offers a sensitive new correctness diagnostic for complex Langevin simulations, reproducing input temperature to 0.2-3% in 1D PT-symmetric models.
