Normalizing Flows for Lattice Gauge Theories: Towards Finite Temperature Simulations
Abstract
Flow-based machine learning techniques have demonstrated effectiveness in tackling significant computational obstacles, including critical slowing-down and topological freezing, encountered in the sampling of gauge field configurations within lattice field theories. We investigate the viability of this approach for simulations of gauge theories at finite temperature. Several tests are performed on two dimensional U(1) gauge theory at different temporal extents.
