Abstract
The expressive power of neural networks in modelling non-trivial distributions can in principle be exploited to bypass topological freezing and critical slowing down in simulations of lattice field theories. Some popular approaches are unable to sample correctly non-trivial topology, which may lead to some classes of configurations not being generated. In this contribution, we present a novel generative method inspired by a model previously introduced in the ML community (GFlowNets). We demonstrate its efficiency at exploring ergodically configuration manifolds with non-trivial topology through applications such as triple ring models and two-dimensional lattice scalar field theory.
