Abstract Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is widely used for sampling from high-dimensional target distributions with densities known up to proportionality. While HMC exhibits favourable scaling properties in high dimensions, it struggles with strongly multimodal distributions. Tempering methods are commonly used to address multimodality, but they can be difficult to tune, especially in high-dimensional settings. In this study, we propose a method that combines tempering with…
