We apply complex Langevin dynamics to chiral random matrix theory at nonzero
chemical potential. At large quark mass the simulations agree with the
analytical results while incorrect convergence is found for small quark masses.
The region of quark masses for which the complex Langevin dynamics converges
incorrectly is identified as the region where the fermion determinant
frequently traces out a path surrounding the origin of the complex plane during
the Langevin flow. This links the incorrect convergence to an ambiguity in the
Langevin force due to the presence of the logarithm of the fermion determinant
in the action.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figure
