Evaluations revealed a substantial performance gap between LLMs and human experts, with the best LLM achieving 36.9% accuracy compared to the human baseline of 61.9%.
We propose a novel method to determine the structure of symbols for any family of polylogarithmic Feynman integrals. Using the d log-bases and simple formulas for the leading order and next-to-leading contributions to the intersection numbers, we give a streamlined procedure to compute the entries in the coefficient matrices of canonical differential equations, including the symbol letters and the rational coefficients. We also provide a selection rule to decide whether a given matrix element must be zero. The symbol letters are deeply related to the poles of the integrands and also have interesting connections to the geometry of Newton polytopes. Our method can be applied to many cutting-edge multi-loop calculations. The simplicity of our results also hints at the possible underlying structure in perturbative quantum field theories.
A systematic method for symbolically reducing multi-loop Feynman integrals is introduced, leveraging generating functions to transform Integration-by-Parts (IBP) relations into differential equations. This approach efficiently derives recurrence relations, overcoming the exponential growth problem of traditional IBP methods and enabling the reduction of complex integrals to a minimal set of master integrals.
Recently, \cite{Cao:2025hio} demonstrated the 22-split for form factor under specific kinematic constraints. This factorization is analogous to that observed in scattering amplitudes. A key consequence of this structure is the presence of hidden zeros, where the form factors vanish on specific kinematic loci. We first establish these zeros and a new zero for the form factors of the composite operators O=12\Tr((ϕ)2)+\Tr(ϕ3){\cal O} =\frac{1}{2}\Tr((\partial \phi)^2) + \Tr(\phi^3) and O=\Tr(F2){\cal O} = \Tr(F^2), and then employ an inductive proof based on the BCFW recursion relation to prove the 22-split factorization for any number of external particles.
We show that short-range interactions are irrelevant around gapless ground-state delocalization-localization transitions driven by quasiperiodicity in interacting fermionic chains. In the presence of interactions, these transitions separate Luttinger Liquid and Anderson glass phases. Remarkably, close to criticality, we find that excitations become effectively non-interacting. By formulating a many-body generalization of a recently developed method to obtain single-particle localization phase diagrams, we carry out precise calculations of critical points between Luttinger Liquid and Anderson glass phases and find that the correlation length critical exponent takes the value ν=1.001±0.007\nu = 1.001 \pm 0.007, compatible with ν=1\nu=1 known exactly at the non-interacting critical point. We also show that other critical exponents, such as the dynamical exponent zz and a many-body analog of the fractal dimension are compatible with the exponents obtained at the non-interacting critical point. Noteworthy, we find that the transitions are accompanied by the emergence of a many-body generalization of previously found single-particle hidden dualities. Finally, we show that in the limit of vanishing interaction strength, all finite range interactions are irrelevant at the non-interacting critical point.
Recently, the generating function has been proposed as an alternative reduction method. This method has been tested at the one-loop level, including the tensor reduction and propagators with higher powers. In this work, we initiate the study of the method for higher loops by focusing on the sunset diagram, which is the simplest nontrivial two-loop integral. By employing PV reduction equations together with syzygy equations, we construct a complete system of differential equations. Through series expansion, we derive a complete set of recurrence relations, which can efficiently reduce any high-rank tensor structure.
This research from the authors of FunSearch applied their algorithm to optimize Feynman integral reduction in particle physics, a major computational bottleneck. By discovering an 'ellipse-type' priority function, the approach reduced the required seeding integrals by factors ranging from 2-3 for simple cases up to thousands for complex multi-loop integrals, significantly improving calculation efficiency and enabling previously intractable computations.
We demonstrate that a mean field approximation can be confidently employed in quasiperiodic moiré systems to treat interactions and quasiperiodicity on equal footing. We obtain the mean field phase diagram for an illustrative one-dimensional moiré system that exhibits narrow bands and a regime with non-interacting multifractal critical states. By systematically comparing our findings with existing exact results, we identify the regimes where the mean field approximation provides an accurate description. Interestingly, in the critical regime, we obtain a quasifractal charge density wave, consistent with the exact results. To complement this study, we employ a real-space implementation of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock, enabling the computation of the excitation spectrum and response functions at the RPA level. These findings indicate that a mean field approximation to treat systems hosting multifractal critical states, as found in two-dimensional quasiperiodic moiré systems, is an appropriate methodology.
Image restoration aims to recover a high-quality clean image from its degraded version. Recent progress in image restoration has demonstrated the effectiveness of All-in-One image restoration models in addressing various unknown degradations simultaneously. However, these existing methods typically utilize the same parameters to tackle images with different types of degradation, forcing the model to balance the performance between different tasks and limiting its performance on each task. To alleviate this issue, we propose HAIR, a Hypernetworks-based All-in-One Image Restoration plug-and-play method that generates parameters based on the input image and thus makes the model to adapt to specific degradation dynamically. Specifically, HAIR consists of two main components, i.e., Classifier and Hyper Selecting Net (HSN). The Classifier is a simple image classification network used to generate a Global Information Vector (GIV) that contains the degradation information of the input image, and the HSN is a simple fully-connected neural network that receives the GIV and outputs parameters for the corresponding modules. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HAIR can significantly improve the performance of existing image restoration models in a plug-and-play manner, both in single-task and All-in-One settings. Notably, our proposed model Res-HAIR, which integrates HAIR into the well-known Restormer, can obtain superior or comparable performance compared with current state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, we theoretically demonstrate that to achieve a given small enough error, our proposed HAIR requires fewer parameters in contrast to mainstream embedding-based All-in-One methods.

In this paper, we give the analytic expression for the homogeneous part of solutions of arbitrary tree-level cosmological correlators, including massive propagators and time-derivative interaction cases. The solutions are given in the form of multivariate hypergeometric functions. It is achieved by two steps. Firstly, we indicate the factorization of the homogeneous part of solutions, i.e., the homogeneous part of solutions of multiple vertices is the product of the solutions of the single vertex. Secondly, we give the solution to the dlog\text{d} \log-form differential equations of arbitrary single vertex integral family. We also show how to determine the boundary conditions for the differential equations. There are two techniques we developed for the computation. Firstly, we analytically solve dlog\text{d} \log-form differential equations via power series expansion. Secondly, we handle degenerate multivariate poles in power series expansion of differential equations by blow-up. They could also be useful in the evaluation of multi-loop Feynman integrals in flat spacetime.
Researchers from Peking University and Chinese institutions reveal how transformer models bridge high-dimensional computation and low-dimensional language semantics through a geometric analysis framework, demonstrating that token representations undergo systematic dimensional expansion and contraction across layers while maintaining semantic coherence through carefully controlled projections.
Liang et al. developed a "density-of-states fitting" (DOSF) method to accurately predict the band gaps of disordered semiconductor alloys, addressing a persistent issue where traditional calculations underestimated experimental values due to localized states from rare atomic configurations. Their method yields converged band gap values that align well with experimental data for random and partially disordered Zn0.5_{0.5}Sn0.5_{0.5}P, providing a robust approach for computational materials design.
Using Bethe's hypothesis, C N Yang exactly solved the one-dimensional (1D) delta-function interacting spin-1/2 Fermi gas with an arbitrary spin-imbalance in 1967. At that time, using a different method, M Gaudin solved the problem of interacting fermions in a spin-balanced case. Later, the 1D delta-function interacting fermion problem was named as the Yang-Gaudin model. It has been in general agreed that a key discovery of C N Yang's work was the cubic matrix equation for the solvability conditions. % This equation was later independently found by R J Baxter for commuting transfer matrices of 2D exactly solvable vertex models. % The equation has since been referred to Yang-Baxter equation, being the master equation to integrability. % The Yang-Baxter equation has been used to solve a wide range of 1D many-body problems in physics, such as 1D Hubbard model, SU(N)SU(N) Fermi gases, Kondo impurity problem and strongly correlated electronic systems etc. % In this paper, we will briefly discuss recent developments of the Yang-Gaudin model on several breakthroughs of many-body phenomena, ranging from the universal thermodynamics to the Luttigner liquid, the spin charge separation, the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO)-like pairing state and the quantum criticality. % These developments demonstrate that the Yang-Gaudin model has laid out a profound legacy of the Yang-Baxter equation.
The application of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis to non-Hermitian quantum systems has become one of the most important topics in dissipative quantum chaos, recently giving rise to intense debates. The process of thermalization is intricate, involving many time-evolution trajectories in the reduced Hilbert space of the system. By considering two different expansion forms of the density matrices adopted in the biorthogonal and right-state time evolutions, we have derived two versions of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equations describing the non-Hermitian systems coupled to a bosonic heat bath in thermal equilibrium. By solving the equations, we have identified a sufficient condition for thermalization under both time evolutions, resulting in Boltzmann biorthogonal and right-eigenstate statistics, respectively. This finding implies that the recently proposed biorthogonal random matrix theory needs an appropriate revision. Moreover, we have exemplified the precise dynamics of thermalization and thermodynamic properties with test models.
Recently, a new approach for high loop integrals has been proposed in \cite{Huang:2024nij}, where the whole parameter integration has been divided into two parts: a one-loop-like integration and the remaining parameter integration. In this paper, we systematically study the one-loop-like integrals. We establish the IBP relations for the integral family and show how to complete the reduction. We find the canonical master integrals and write down the corresponding canonical differential equations.
In this paper, we present an initial attempt to learn evolution PDEs from data. Inspired by the latest development of neural network designs in deep learning, we propose a new feed-forward deep network, called PDE-Net, to fulfill two objectives at the same time: to accurately predict dynamics of complex systems and to uncover the underlying hidden PDE models. The basic idea of the proposed PDE-Net is to learn differential operators by learning convolution kernels (filters), and apply neural networks or other machine learning methods to approximate the unknown nonlinear responses. Comparing with existing approaches, which either assume the form of the nonlinear response is known or fix certain finite difference approximations of differential operators, our approach has the most flexibility by learning both differential operators and the nonlinear responses. A special feature of the proposed PDE-Net is that all filters are properly constrained, which enables us to easily identify the governing PDE models while still maintaining the expressive and predictive power of the network. These constrains are carefully designed by fully exploiting the relation between the orders of differential operators and the orders of sum rules of filters (an important concept originated from wavelet theory). We also discuss relations of the PDE-Net with some existing networks in computer vision such as Network-In-Network (NIN) and Residual Neural Network (ResNet). Numerical experiments show that the PDE-Net has the potential to uncover the hidden PDE of the observed dynamics, and predict the dynamical behavior for a relatively long time, even in a noisy environment.

In this paper, we study the Vlasov-Poisson system with massless electrons (VPME) near quasineutrality and with uncertainties. Based on the idea of reformulation on the Poisson equation by [P. Degond this http URL., Journal of Computational Physics\textit{Journal of Computational Physics}, 229 (16), 2010, pp. 5630--5652], we first consider the deterministic problem and develop an efficient asymptotic-preserving particle-in-cell (AP-PIC) method to capture the quasineutral limit numerically, without resolving the discretizations subject to the small Debye length in plasma. The main challenge and difference compared to previous related works is that we consider the nonlinear Poisson in the VPME system which contains eϕe^{\phi} (with ϕ\phi being the electric potential) and provide an explicit scheme. In the second part, we extend to study the uncertainty quantification (UQ) problem and develop an efficient bi-fidelity method for solving the VPME system with multidimensional random parameters, by choosing the Euler-Poisson equation as the low-fidelity model. Several numerical experiments are shown to demonstrate the asymptotic-preserving property of our deterministic solver and the effectiveness of our bi-fidelity method for solving the model with random uncertainties.
Researchers from Beijing Computational Science Research Center and Zhejiang University developed the biorthonormal-block Density-Matrix Renormalization Group (bbDMRG) algorithm, a numerically stable method for simulating strongly correlated non-Hermitian many-body systems. Applying bbDMRG to an interacting fermionic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, the team identified a novel many-body "kink skin effect" that is an order of magnitude stronger than single-particle skin effects, enhancing its potential for experimental detection.
We show that incommensurability can enhance superconductivity in one dimensional quasiperiodic systems with s-wave pairing. As a parent model, we use a generalized Aubry-André model that includes quasiperiodic modulations both in the potential and in the hoppings. In the absence of interactions, the model contains extended, critical and localized phases for incommensurate modulations. Our results reveal that in a substantial region inside the parent critical phase, there is a significant increase of the superconducting critical temperature compared to the extended phase and the uniform limit without quasiperiodic modulations. We also analyse the results for commensurate modulations with period close to the selected incommensurate one. We find that while in the commensurate case, the scaling of the critical temperature with interaction strength follows the exponentially small weak-coupling BCS prediction for a large enough system size, it scales algebraically in the incommensurate case within the critical and localized parent phases. These qualitatively distinct behaviors lead to a significant incommensurability-induced enhancement of the critical temperature in the weak and intermediate coupling regimes, accompanied by an increase in the superconducting order parameter at zero temperature.

We consider the neural representation to solve the Boltzmann-BGK equation, especially focusing on the application in microscopic flow problems. A new dimension reduction model of the BGK equation with the flexible auxiliary distribution functions is first deduced to reduce the problem dimension. Then, a network-based ansatz that can approximate the dimension-reduced distribution with extremely high efficiency is proposed. Precisely, fully connected neural networks are utilized to avoid discretization in space and time. A specially designed loss function is employed to deal with the complex Maxwell boundary in microscopic flow problems. Moreover, strategies such as multi-scale input and Maxwellian splitting are applied to enhance the approximation efficiency further. Several classical numerical experiments, including 1D Couette flow and Fourier flow problems and 2D duct flow and in-out flow problems are studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of this neural representation method.
