Langevin equation in field theory

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A new approach to quantum field theory is developed based on the Langevin equation (stochastic quantization). Applications to conventional and gauge theories are discussed, as well as various extensions; the Langevin difference equation, the complex Langevin equation in Minkowski space, etc.
