abstract

We study one-dimensional QCD at finite quark density by using the sign optimization framework. The fermion sign problem is mitigated by deforming the path integral domain, $SU(3)$ to a complexified one ${\cal M} \subset SL(3)$, explicitly constructed to reduce the phase fluctuations. The complexification is constructed using the angular representation of $SU(3)$. We provide a physical explanation of the optimization procedure in terms of complex saddle points. This picture connects the sign optimization framework to the generalized Lefschetz thimbles.
