The Blume-Capel Model as a $\phi^6$ Field Theory: A Monte Carlo and Flow Model Study
We report Monte Carlo simulations of a continuous spin variant of the Blume-Capel model. We compute the phase diagrams in the crystal-field-temperature plane, as a function of the softness of the spins. We show that normalizing flows, a class of generative models capable of direct sampling without autocorrelation, are...
