Abstract

We study the hopping transport of a quantum particle through randomly diluted percolation clusters in two dimensions realized both on the square and triangular lattices. We investigate the nature of localization of the particle by calculating the transmission coefficient as a function of energy (-2 < E < 2 in units of the hopping integral in the tight-binding Hamiltonian) and disorder, q (probability that a given site of the lattice is not available to the particle). Our study based on finite size scaling suggests the existence of delocalized states that depends on energy and amount of disorder present in the system. For energies away from the band center (E = 0), delocalized states appear only at low disorder (q < 15%). The transmission near the band center is generally very small for any amount of disorder and therefore makes it difficult to locate the transition to delocalized states if any, but our study does indicate a behavior that is weaker than power-law localization. Apart from this localization-delocalization transition, we also find the existence of two different kinds of localization regimes depending on energy and amount of disorder. For a given energy, states are exponentially localized for sufficiently high disorder. As the disorder decreases, states first show power-law localization before showing a delocalized behavior.

Local Geometric and Transport Properties of Networks that are Generated from Hyperuniform Point Patterns

Hyperuniformity, which is a type of order that is characterized by the suppression of long-range density fluctuations in comparison to the fluctuations in standard disordered systems, has emerged as a powerful concept in many natural and engineered phenomena. In this paper, we harness hyperuniform point patterns to generate disordered, spatially-embedded networks that are distinct from both perfectly ordered lattices and uniformly random spatial networks. We refer to this class of disordered networks as \emph{hyperuniform-point-pattern-induced (HuPPI) networks}, and we compare them to counterpart \emph{Poisson-point-pattern-induced (PoPPI) networks} and networks that we generate from random-sequential-adsorption (RSA) packings (which have local order but are not hyperuniform). We examine HuPPI, PoPPI, and RSA networks that we generate using Gabriel, Delaunay, Delaunay-centroidal, and Voronoi network-generation methods. We show that HuPPI networks have smaller mean normalized total effective resistances (TERs) than PoPPI networks in Gabriel, Delaunay-centroidal, and Voronoi networks and have shorter mean random-walk mixing times than PoPPI networks in Gabriel, Delaunay, and Delaunay-centroidal networks. For all four network-generation methods and for both HuPPI and PoPPI networks, we find that the Ollivier--Ricci curvature (ORC) of an edge is negatively correlated with its TER edge contribution (i.e., the increase in TER that results from removing that edge). Collectively, our results (1) illustrate how the local network geometry that ORC measures is related to transport and network connectivity and (2) demonstrate that the network-generation method provides an additional design lever for spatial networks beyond the choice of their underlying point pattern.

Inferring Concepts from Noisy Examples in Hopfield-like Neural Networks

We study a variant of the pseudo-inverse learning rule for Hopfield-like Neural Networks, which allows the network to infer archetypal concepts on the basis of a limited number of examples. The key novelty is that the new learning rule compensates for correlations between examples at the population level rather than at the level of the particular training set, reducing overfitting of the dataset and leading to generalization. The mean-field replica theory for this model reveals how this generalization ability is mediated by a multitude of thermodynamic states, with diverse thermodynamic properties, coexisting with the standard Hopfield ones. They appear and vanish through smooth transitions or discontinuous jumps and, interestingly, show much stronger Replica Symmetry Breaking (RSB) effects than the standard Hopfield model, as captured by our 1RSB analysis. Our results, in excellent agreement with numerical simulations, provide deeper insight into the interplay between memory storage and generalization in attractor neural networks.

High-dimensional theory of the glass transition revisited: hopping and local defects

The replicated liquid theory provides a microscopic mean-field description of the glass transition by combining the density functional theory of liquids with the replica method originally developed for spin glasses. In the conventional replica liquid theory, a glassy state is described by assuming that particles in different replicas undergo vibrational motion around common centers of mass, thereby forming molecules that contain one particle from every replica. Here we revisit this assumption by allowing each molecule to contain only a subset of replicas. This generalized formulation describes particle-level replica mismatches, which may be associated with non-vibrational motions such as particle hopping. We apply the theory to high-dimensional hard and harmonic spheres, where the mean-field description is expected to become exact. For hard spheres, replica mismatches destabilize the glassy metastable state and shift the dynamical transition to a significantly higher packing fraction, while leaving the leading thermodynamic glass transition unchanged. The resulting transition density agrees, at leading order in high dimensions, with the recent rigorous lower bound for random sphere packings obtained by Campos, Jenssen, Michelen, and Sahasrabudhe by using a discretized version of greedy Random Sequential Absorption, suggesting an algorithmic interpretation of the transition: grandcanonical dynamics is more efficient in high dimensional spaces than canonical one. For harmonic spheres at finite temperature, the glassy state contains a finite replica-mismatch fraction even at the thermodynamic ideal-glass transition, thereby shifting the transition point from that predicted by the conventional replica ansatz.
