Recently a method to compute the static force with lattice gauge theory using an insertion of a chromoelectric field into a Wilson loop was proposed. We explore this method using the multilevel algorithm and discuss the renormalization of…

Recent applications of machine-learned normalizing flows to sampling in lattice field theory suggest that such methods may be able to mitigate critical slowing down and topological freezing. However, these demonstrations have been at the…

A simple construction is presented, which generalises piecewise linear one-dimensional Markov maps to an arbitrary number of dimensions. The corresponding coupled map lattice, known as a simplicial mapping in the mathematical literature,…

We propose a general formulation of simplicial lattice gauge theory inspired by the finite element method. Numerical tests of convergence towards continuum results are performed for several SU(2) gauge fields. Additionaly, we perform…

This work presents gauge-equivariant architectures for flow-based sampling in fermionic lattice field theories using pseudofermions as stochastic estimators for the fermionic determinant. This is the default approach in state-of-the-art…

We enable the automatic construction of Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) forces in lattice gauge theory by performing reverse-mode automatic differentiation at the level of optimized LLVM intermediate representation, making the approach applicable…

Wilson lines are key objects in many QCD calculations. They are parallel transporters of the gauge field that can be used to render non-local operator products gauge invariant, which is especially useful for calculations concerning…

As an illustration of the formalism of the master field we consider generalised $QCD_2$. We show how Wilson Loop averages for an arbitrary contour can be computed explicitly and with some ease. A generalised Hopf equation is shown to govern…

This work develops a framework to apply normalizing-flow transformations of field configurations for all-orders Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) corrections in lattice field theory. This opens a new possibility to determine all-order…

Gauge fixing is an essential step in lattice QCD calculations, particularly for studying gauge-dependent observables. Traditional iterative algorithms are computationally expensive and often suffer from critical slowing down and scaling…

I describe a method that places the fermion fields and the gauge fields on different lattice spacings during the Hybrid Monte Carlo generation of Ginsparg-Wilson dynamical ensembles. The idea is motivated by Wilson's formulation of the…

We give a determination of the phenomenological value of the Wilson (or gradient) flow scales t0 and w0 for 2+1 flavours of dynamical quarks. The simulations are performed keeping the average quark mass constant, which allows the approach…

The static QCD force from the lattice can be used to extract $\Lambda_{\overline{\textrm{MS}}}$, which determines the running of the strong coupling. Usually, this is done with a numerical derivative of the static potential. However, this…

We show how the Hamiltonian lattice loop representation can be cast straightforwardly in the path integral formalism. The procedure is general for any gauge theory. Here we present in detail the simplest case: pure compact QED. We also…

Lattice field theories are fundamental testbeds for computational physics; yet, sampling their Boltzmann distributions remains challenging due to multimodality and long-range correlations. While normalizing flows offer a promising…

We develop a flow-based sampling algorithm for $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theories that is gauge-invariant by construction. Our key contribution is constructing a class of flows on an $SU(N)$ variable (or on a $U(N)$ variable by a simple…

We study a class of lattice field theories in two dimensions that includes gauge theories. We show that in these theories it is possible to implement a broader notion of local symmetry, based on semi-simple Hopf algebras. A character…

We present selected preliminary lattice gauge theory results for $O(1/m_Q)$ and $O(1/m_Q^2)$ corrections to the static potential. These results are based on Wilson loops with two field strength insertions, which we renormalize using…

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-dimensional nonabelian gauge theories, focusing on two advancements:…
