On free energy barriers in Gaussian priors and failure of cold start MCMC for high-dimensional unimodal distributions

We exhibit examples of high-dimensional unimodal posterior distributions arising in nonlinear regression models with Gaussian process priors for which Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods can take an exponential run-time to enter the regions where the bulk of the posterior measure concentrates. O...
