Group-equivariant diffusion models for lattice field theory
摘要
Near the critical point, Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations of lattice quantum field theories become increasingly inefficient due to critical slowing down. In this work, we investigate score-based symmetry-preserving diffusion models as an alternative strategy to sample two-dimensional ϕ4 and U(1) lattice field theories. We develop score networks that are equivariant to a range of group transformations, including global ℤ2 reflections, local U(1) rotations, and periodic translations
