Nonperturbative trivializing flows for lattice gauge theories
Continuous normalizing flows are known to be highly expressive and flexible, which allows for easier incorporation of large symmetries and makes them a powerful computational tool for lattice field theories. Building on previous work, we present a general continuous normalizing flow architecture for matrix Lie groups that is equivariant under group transformations. We apply this to lattice gauge theories in two dimensions as a proof of principle and demonstrate competitive performance, showing its potential as a tool for future lattice computations.
