Variance reduction in lattice QCD observables via normalizing flows
Ryan Abbott, Denis Boyda, Yang Fu +6
Normalizing flows can be used to construct unbiased, reduced-variance estimators for lattice field theory observables that are defined by a derivative with respect to action parame…

Topological data analysis of the deconfinement transition in SU(3) lattice gauge theory
Daniel Spitz, Julian M. Urban, Jan M. Pawlowski
We study the confining and deconfining phases of pure lattice gauge theory with topological data analysis. This provides unique insights into long range correlatio…

Progress in Normalizing Flows for 4d Gauge Theories
Ryan Abbott, Denis Boyda, Daniel C. Hackett +4
Normalizing flows have arisen as a tool to accelerate Monte Carlo sampling for lattice field theories. This work reviews recent progress in applying normalizing flows to 4-dimensio…
