A solution to the sign problem is the so-called "Lefschetz thimble approach" where the domain of integration for field variables in the path integral is deformed from the real axis to a sub-manifold in the complex space. For properly chosen sub-manifolds ("thimbles") the sign problem disappears or is drastically alleviated. The parametrization of the thimble by real coordinates require the calculation of a jacobian with a computational cost of order O(V^3), where V is proportional to the spacetime volume. In this note we propose two estimators for this jacobian with a computational cost of order O(V). We discuss analytically the regimes where we expect the estimator to work and show numerical examples in two different models.

    Path optimization with machine learning reproduces analytic results in the 1D lattice Thirring model, and dropping the Jacobian from the learning step still works.
