+Analytic continuation of physical theories is sometimes useful. Some theories
+have a well-motivated hamiltonian or action that nevertheless results in a
+divergent partition function, and can only be properly defined by continuation
+from a parameter regime where everything is well-defined \cite{}. Others result
+in oscillatory phase space measures that spoil the use of Monte Carlo or saddle
+point techniques, but can be treated in a regime where the measure does not
+oscillated and the results continued to the desired model \cite{}.

 Consider an action $\mathcal S_\lambda$ defined on the phase space $\Omega$ and
 depending on parameters $\lambda$. In the context of statistical mechanics,
 $\mathcal S_{\beta,J}=-\beta H_J$ for some hamiltonian $H_J$ with quenched
