Solution of the Thirring model in thimble regularization
Thimble regularisation of lattice field theories has been proposed as a solution to the infamous sign problem. It is conceptually very clean and powerful, but it is in practice limited by a…
Backpropagating Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for fast Lefschetz thimble calculations
TLDR
This paper proposes a fast Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for evaluating the integral, where the force of the fictitious Hamilton dynamics on the deformed contour is backpropagate to that on the original contour, thereby reducing the required computational cost by a factor of the system size.
