Abstract

A universal supervised neural network (NN) relevant to compute the associated criticalities of real experiments studying phase transitions is constructed. The validity of the built NN is examined by applying it to calculate the criticalities of several three-dimensional (3D) models on the cubic lattice, including the classical $O(3)$ model, the 5-state ferromagnetic Potts model, and a dimerized quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. Particularly, although the considered NN is only trained one time on a one-dimensional (1D) lattice with 120 sites, yet it has successfully determined the related critical points of the studied 3D systems. Moreover, real configurations of states are not used in the testing stage. Instead, the employed configurations for the prediction are constructed on a 1D lattice of 120 sites and are based on the bulk quantities or the microscopic states of the considered models. As a result, our calculations are ultimately efficient in computation and the applications of the built NN is extremely broaden. Considering the fact that the investigated systems vary dramatically from each other, it is amazing that the combination of these two strategies in the training and the testing stages lead to a highly universal supervised neural network for learning phases and criticalities of 3D models. Based on the outcomes presented in this study, it is favorably probable that much simpler but yet elegant machine learning techniques can be constructed for fields of many-body systems other than the critical phenomena.

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.
