Many fascinating systems suffer from a severe (complex action) sign problem preventing us from calculating them with Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations. One promising method to alleviate the sign problem is the transformation of the integration domain towards Lefschetz Thimbles. Unfortunately, this suffers from poor scaling originating in numerically integrating of flow equations and evaluation of an induced Jacobian. In this proceedings we present a new preliminary Neural Network architecture based on complex-valued affine coupling layers. This network performs such a transformation efficiently, ultimately allowing simulation of systems with a severe sign problem. We test this method within the Hubbard Model at finite chemical potential, modelling strongly correlated electrons on a spatial lattice of ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
