Quartic Gradient Flow

Saddle-point configurations, such as the Euclidean bounce and sphalerons, are known to be difficult to find numerically. In this letter we study a new method, Quartic Gradient Flow, to search for such configurations. The central idea is to introduce a gradient-flow-like equation in such a way that a...
