abstract

We simulate $4d$ $SU(N)$ pure-gauge theories at large $N$ using a parallel tempering scheme that combines simulations with open and periodic boundary conditions, implementing the algorithm originally proposed by Martin Hasenbusch for $2d$ $CP^{N-1}$ models. That allows to dramatically suppress the topological freezing suffered from standard local algorithms, reducing the autocorrelation time of $Q^2$ up to two orders of magnitude. Using this algorithm in combination with simulations at non-zero imaginary $\theta$ we are able to refine state-of-the-art results for the large-$N$ behavior of the quartic coefficient of the $\theta$-dependence of the vacuum energy $b_2$, reaching an accuracy comparable with that of the large-$N$ limit of the topological susceptibility.

Machine learning for four-dimensional SU(3) lattice gauge theories

hep-lat · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Machine learning generative models and renormalization-group neural networks are used to enhance gauge field sampling and learn fixed-point actions in 4D SU(3) lattice gauge theories, with presented scaling results toward the continuum limit using gradient-flow and potential observables.
