Langevin simulation in Minkowski space?
Abstract
We present in this paper a ``tentative'', ``formal'' proof that the Langevin simulation for relativistic systems can be performed directly in Minkowski space without rotating to euclidean time. The proof bypasses the difficult task of studying the spectrum of the non-self-adjoint Fokker-Planck hamiltonian and it is based on a dimensional-reduction argument recently proposed by this author.
