contents The Worldvolume Hybrid Monte Carlo (WV-HMC) method [arXiv:2012.08468] is a reliable and versatile algorithm for addressing the numerical sign problem. It resolves the ergodicity issues commonly encountered in Lefschetz thimble-based approaches while maintaining low computational costs. In this paper, as a general framework for applying WV-HMC to lattice gauge theories, we extend the algorithm to systems defined on compact group manifolds. The key is to introduce a symplectic structure on the tangent bundle of the worldvolume and formulate molecular dynamics upon it. The validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated using the one-site model with a purely imaginary coupling constant.
