Abstract

Making use of a recent complete calculation of a chiral six-point correlation function C(z) in a rectangle we calculate various quantities of interest for percolation (SLE parameter κ= 6) and many other two-dimensional critical points. In particular, we specify the density at z of critical clusters conditioned to touch either or both vertical sides of the rectangle, with these sides 'wired,' i.e. constrained to be in a single cluster, and the horizontal sides free. These quantities probe the structure of various cluster configurations, including those that contribute to the crossing probability. We first examine the effects of boundary conditions on C for the critical O(n) loop models in both high and low density phases and for both Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) and spin clusters in the critical Q-state Potts models. A Coulomb gas analysis then allows us to calculate the cluster densities with various conditionings in terms of the known conformal blocks. Explicit formulas generalizing Cardy's horizontal crossing probability to these models (using previously known results) are also presented. These solutions are employed to generalize previous results demonstrating factorization of higher-order correlation functions to the critical systems mentioned. An explicit formula for the density of critical percolation clusters that cross a rectangle horizontally with free boundary conditions is also given. Simplifications of the hypergeometric functions in our solutions for various models are presented. High precision simulations verify these predictions for percolation and for the Q=2 and 3-state Potts models, including both FK and spin clusters. Our formula for the density of crossing clusters in percolation in open systems is also verified.

Why we should condition denoising diffusion generative models on windows of past observations

Data assimilation (DA) is, traditionally, a cycling process that relies on time-dependent priors to propagate information from past observations to future cycles. Using denoising diffusion generative modeling for DA is challenging because standard approaches use a fixed training data set, which in turn leads to a static prior that ignores information from past observations. Because past observations are ignored, DA systems with static priors lead to larger posterior errors than cycling DA systems. Incorporating time-dependent priors into generative models, however, requires expensive and frequent retraining. Motivated by linear systems theory - where the dependence of a prediction of a Kalman filter on past observations decays exponentially - we condition diffusion models on short windows of past observations. Specifically, we describe training procedures for two frameworks: a diffusion DA system predicting the current state given a set of past observations, and a diffusion ``direct observation prediction'' (DOP) system, predicting future observations given a set of past observations. Using a canonical linear system, we show that both systems can achieve the minimal posterior error characteristic of a fully-cycled DA/DOP system, without re-training, provided the time windows are long enough. The linear setup ensures analytical tractability, avoids confounding neural network training errors, and confirms that conditioning on windows of past observations is required for efficient and accurate diffusion-based DA or DOP.

The kinematic structures and the inertial geometry of a moving charge

We ask how much of the geometry a charged particle moves in is fixed by its motion, and how much a particle must bring. We ask of a symplectic structure only that it relate velocity to momentum as Hamilton's equations do, and we ask it of every energy at once. In particular, we show that the structures meeting that demand are the canonical one and its twists by a closed two-form of the base. A field provides the two-form, a particle the multiplier before it, which we identify constitutively with its charge. Thus, a single energy governs a family of structures, and each particle takes the one its charge fixes. We then ask what a particle must bring to be given a momentum, and we show that the degree of that map settles the degree at which a field enters Newton's Second Law. An antisymmetric bilinear form returns no Lorentz force, whilst a Randers metric returns one --- a length whose difference from a Riemannian one is linear in the velocity. Moreover, we find that metric already within the twisted structure, as its primitive over a level of the free energy, and its law of transport to be nonlinear, no affine connection being known to serve. Under an indefinite signature the length parts from the dynamics, and the extremals turn from shortest to longest. On the round sphere a monopole flux leaves no such metric, whilst the transport remains and prequantisation, given a unit of action, restricts the charge to a lattice. In this manner, we conclude that each charge-to-mass ratio receives a geometry of its own, so that by a functionalist criterion none of them is the spacetime of a charged particle.
