Abstract: (APS)
We consider the use of complex stochastic equations in the evaluation of ensemble averages. For a certain class of functions, it is shown how to relate averages over real parameters to those over complex degrees of freedom. We apply these techniques to the Abelian lattice gauge theory and discuss its extension to the non-Abelian case.- LATTICE FIELD THEORY: TWO-DIMENSIONAL
