Abstract: The canonical approach, which was developed for solving the sign problem, may suffer from a new type of sign problem. In the canonical approach, the grand partition function is written as a fugacity expansion: $Z_G(mu,T)=su{m}_n{Z}_C(n,T)x{i}^n$, where $xi=exp(mu/T)$ is the fugacity, and $Z_C(n,T)$ are given as averages over a Monte Carlo update, $langle{z}_{n}angle$. We show that the complex phase of $z_n$ is proportional to $n$ at each Monte Carlo step. Although $langle{z}_{n}angle$ take real positive values, the values of $z_n$ fluctuate rapidly when $n$ is large, especially in the confinement phase, which gives a limit on $n$. We discuss possible remedies for this problem.
