• Abstract: We consider the problem of sampling lattice field configurations on a lattice from the Boltzmann distribution corresponding to some action. Since such densities arise as approximationw of an underlying functional density, we frame the task as an instance of operator learning. We propose to approximate a time-dependent neural operator whose time integral provides a mapping between the functional distributions of the free and target theories. Once a particular lattice is chosen, the neural operator can be discretized to a finite-dimensional, time-dependent vector field which in turn induces a continuous normalizing flow between finite dimensional distributions over the chosen lattice. This flow can then be trained to be a diffeormorphism between the discretized free and target theories on the chosen lattice, and, by construction, can be evaluated on different discretizations of spacetime. We experimentally validate the proposal on the 2-dimensional $\phi^4$-theory to explore to what extent such operator-based flow architectures generalize to lattice sizes they were not trained on, and show that pretraining on smaller lattices can lead to a speedup over training directly on the target lattice size.

• Riemannian Neural Geodesic Interpolant [15.653104625330062]
  Differential interpolants are efficient generative models that bridge two arbitrary probability density functions in finite time. These models are primarily developed in Euclidean space, and are therefore limited in their application to many distribution learning problems. We introduce the Riemannian Geodesic Interpolant (RNGI) model, which interpolates between two probability densities.

  We investigate, a recently introduced framework for high dimensional sampling which bears many similarities to diffusion modeling. We show that for a base distribution and a strongly log-concave target distribution, the flow map is Lipschitz with a sharp constant which matches that of Caffarelli's theorem for optimal transport maps. We are further able to construct Lipschitz transport maps between non-Gaussian distributions, generalizing some recent constructions in the literature on transport methods for establishing functional inequalities.

  Applications of normalizing flows to the sampling of field configurations in lattice gauge theory have so far been explored almost exclusively in two space-time dimensions. We discuss masked autoregressive with tractable and unbiased Jacobian determinants, a key ingredient for scalable and exact flow-based sampling algorithms. For concreteness, results from a proof-of-principle application to SU(3) gauge theory in four space-time dimensions are reported.

  We take a step towards closing the gap between theory and practice by significantly improving the known theoretical bounds on both the network width and the convergence time. We show that convergence to a global minimum is guaranteed for networks with quadratic widths in the sample size and linear in their depth at a time logarithmic in both. Our analysis and convergence bounds are derived via the construction of a surrogate network with fixed activation patterns that can be transformed at any time to an equivalent ReLU network of a reasonable size.
