Semi-Classics, Complexified Path Integrals and Lefshetz Thimbles
I will discuss semi-classics in quantum field theory, and argue that the notion of semi-classics requires the complexification of paths in the path integral. I will further argue that complex saddles which are at occasions singular and multi-valued may contribute to the path integral.
