Abstract

In this paper we introduce and investigate the statistical mechanics of hierarchical neural networks: First, we approach these systems \`a la Mattis, by thinking at the Dyson model as a single-pattern hierarchical neural network and we discuss the stability of different retrievable states as predicted by the related self-consistencies obtained from a mean-field bound and from a bound that bypasses the mean-field limitation. The latter is worked out by properly reabsorbing fluctuations of the magnetization related to higher levels of the hierarchy into effective fields for the lower levels. Remarkably, mixing Amit's ansatz technique (to select candidate retrievable states) with the interpolation procedure (to solve for the free energy of these states) we prove that (due to gauge symmetry) the Dyson model accomplishes both serial and parallel processing. One step forward, we extend this scenario toward multiple stored patterns by implementing the Hebb prescription for learning within the couplings. This results in an Hopfield-like networks constrained on a hierarchical topology, for which, restricting to the low storage regime (where the number of patterns grows at most logarithmical with the amount of neurons), we prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the free energy and we give an explicit expression of its mean field bound and of the related improved bound

Irrationality Measure Controls Long-Wavelength Charge Fluctuations in Quasiperiodic Systems

Quasiperiodic order is characterized by irrational frequencies whose rational approximability known as irrationality measure defines distinct arithmetic classes. We establish that this arithmetic classification has direct physical consequences for long-wavelength charge fluctuations. In translation-covariant quasiperiodic systems, the infrared scaling of charge fluctuation is governed by the interplay between the irrationality exponent of irrational frequency and the large-harmonic decay of the hull charge profile: the latter determines the available charge weight, while the former controls how efficiently that weight is transferred to the infrared. Consequently, all algebraic irrational frequencies share the same arithmetic scaling, whereas exceptionally well-approximable transcendental frequencies can exhibit strongly enhanced infrared fluctuation scaling. We further prove that occupied states separated from the Fermi level by a gap stable throughout the hull contribute only an analytic infrared background, leaving the nontrivial scaling to near-Fermi states. Our results extend to general translation-covariant multi-frequency quasiperiodic systems.

Curvature-Induced Geometric Universality in Non-Hermitian Anderson Transitions

In Euclidean space, universality classes of Anderson transitions are primarily determined by symmetry and spatial dimensionality. Here, we present evidence for a geometry-controlled universality class of non-Hermitian Anderson transitions on hyperbolic-like lattices. In this setting, critical behavior is influenced by the large-scale hyperbolic geometry, characterized by negative curvature, exponential volume growth, and a non-Euclidean notion of spatial scaling. Finite-size scaling of participation ratios across several distinct \( \{p,q\} \) tilings reveals one-parameter scaling collapses with a common critical exponent \( \nu\simeq1 \) within numerical accuracy. A complementary phenomenological coarse-grained Landau-Ginzburg analysis shows how exponential correlation-volume growth suppresses critical fluctuations, offering a rationale for the observed mean-field-like scaling. Our results suggest that spatial curvature can act as an additional organizing principle for Anderson-transition universality beyond the conventional dimensionality- and symmetry-based classification.

Finite-rank multiplicative perturbations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrices

We study finite-rank multiplicative deformations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrices. More precisely, we consider models of the form $\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{I}+\mathbf{T})$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a large rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrix, $\mathbf{T}$ is a finite-rank normal perturbation, and $\mathbf{I}$ denotes the identity matrix. We characterize the emergence of outlier eigenvalues, their fluctuations, and the associated eigenvector overlaps. Our results provide a multiplicative non-Hermitian counterpart to the classical Baik--Ben Arous--P\'ech\'e framework.
