No sign problem in one-dimensional path integral Monte Carlo simulation of fermions: A topological proof. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This paper shows that, in one dimension, due to its topology, a closed-loop product of short-time propagators is always positive, despite the fact that each antisymmetric free fermion propagator can be of either sign.
