Schwinger-Keldysh on the lattice: a faster algorithm and its application to field theory

Abstract

A new algorithm is developed allowing the Monte Carlo study of a 1 + 1 dimensional theory in real time. The main algorithmic development is to avoid the explicit calculation of the Jacobian matrix and its determinant in the update process. This improvement has a wide applicability and reduces the cost of the update in thimble-inspired calculations from O(N^3) to less than O(N^2). As an additional feature, the algorithm leads to improved Monte Carlo proposals. We exemplify the use of the algorithm to the real time dynamics of a scalar ϕ^4 theory with weak and strong couplings.
