Statistics on Lefschetz thimbles: Bell/Leggett-Garg inequalities and the classical-statistical approximation

Abstract Inspired by Lefschetz thimble theory, we treat Quantum Field Theory as a statistical theory with a complex Probability Distribution Function (PDF). Such complex-valued PDFs permit the violation of Bell-type inequalities, which cannot be violated by a real-valued, non-negative PDF. In this p...
