Abstract
We introduce a Transformer architecture for lattice QCD that is designed to respect the gauge symmetry and the discrete rotational and translational symmetries of the lattice. The core innovation lies in defining the attention matrix via a Frobenius inner product between link variables and extended staples, ensuring gauge covariance. We apply this method to self-learning HMC and find that it surpasses existing gauge covariant neural networks in performance, demonstrating its potential to enhance lattice QCD computations.
