Suppose, for example, you are simulating samples from a (multivariate) Gaussian with mean zero and covariance $\Gamma=BB^T$. If you had generated a sample $x$, you could generate more (dependent) samples by some unitary transformation $U$, I think via $\tilde{x}=BUB^{-1}x$ in this case. If you knew something about the statistic you were trying to estimate (for example, maybe we estimate $\xi=\mathbb{E}(f(x))$ where $f$ is smooth and is //not// invariant to these transformations) you could try to use the correlated samples to do some sort of variance reduction.
Does this kind of technique where you use a symmetry of the distribution have a name? Is it even a technique ... maybe it is fatally flawed somehow? Maybe it would just fall under the Control Variate or CRN techniques? Uses of "Gauge invariance" feels like the right area to look in but I don't have much experience in physics.
