Abstract: (arXiv)
Recent progress of the complex Langevin method and the Lefschetz thimble in connection with the sign problem is reviewed. These methods rely on the complexification of the original field manifold and they allow direct simulations of theories with non-real measures. Similarities and differences of the two approaches are pointed out. Results using the complex Langevin method, which allows simulations to evade the sign problem in full QCD, are presented. Promising results of the thimble approach for non-gauge theories are also discussed.
