Flow-based generative models for Markov chain Monte Carlo in lattice field theory
Michael S. Albergo,Michael S. Albergo,Michael S. Albergo,Gurtej Kanwar,Phiala E. Shanahan,Phiala E. Shanahan +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Markov chain update scheme using a machine-learned flow-based generative model is proposed for Monte Carlo sampling in lattice field theories, which can be optimized (trained) to produce samples from a distribution approximating the desired Boltzmann distribution determined by the lattice action of the theory being studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equivariant Flow-Based Sampling for Lattice Gauge Theory.
Gurtej Kanwar,Michael S. Albergo,D. L. Boyda,Kyle Cranmer,Daniel C. Hackett,Sébastien Racanière,Danilo Jimenez Rezende,Phiala E. Shanahan +7 more
TL;DR: This work defines a class of machine-learned flow-based sampling algorithms for lattice gauge theories that are gauge invariant by construction and demonstrates the application of this framework to U(1) gauge theory in two spacetime dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sampling using SU ( N ) gauge equivariant flows
D. L. Boyda,Gurtej Kanwar,Sébastien Racanière,Danilo Jimenez Rezende,Michael S. Albergo,Kyle Cranmer,Daniel C. Hackett,Phiala E. Shanahan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a flow-based sampling algorithm for lattice gauge theories that is gauge invariant by construction is presented. But this algorithm is restricted to two dimensions and cannot be used to sample distributions of single SU(N) variables.

Normalizing Flows on Tori and Spheres
Danilo Jimenez Rezende,George Papamakarios,Sébastien Racanière,Michael S. Albergo,Gurtej Kanwar,Phiala E. Shanahan,Kyle Cranmer +6 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes and compares expressive and numerically stable flows on spaces with more complex geometries, such as tori or spheres, and builds recursively on the dimension of the space, starting from flows on circles, closed intervals or spheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simit: A Language for Physical Simulation
Fredrik Kjolstad,Shoaib Kamil,Jonathan Ragan-Kelley,David I. W. Levin,Shinjiro Sueda,Desai Chen,Etienne Vouga,Danny M. Kaufman,Gurtej Kanwar,Wojciech Matusik,Saman Amarasinghe +10 more
TL;DR: Simit is a new language for physical simulations that lets the programmer view the system both as a linked data structure in the form of a hypergraph and as a set of global vectors, matrices, and tensors depending on what is convenient at any given time.
