Abstract

We work with the following expression for the entropy (density) of a dimer gas on an infinite r-regular lattice lambda(p) = 1/2 [ pln(r)-ln(p)-2(1-p)ln(1-p)-p ]+sum_{k=2}(d_k)(p^k) where the indicated sum converges for density, p, small enough. Pernici has computed the coefficients d_k for k < 13. He found these d_k to be polynomials in certain interesting "geometric quantites" arising in the work of Wanless. Each of these quantities is the number density of isomorphic mappings of some graph into the lattice (graph). So for a bipartite lattice d_2 = c_2 d_3 = c_3 d_4 = c_4 + c_5 hat{G}_1 d_5 = c_6 + c_7 hat{G}_1. The c_i depend only on r. Here hat{G}_1 is the density of mapping classes of the four loop graph into the lattice. The limit of 1/V times the number of such mapping classes into a lattice of volume V as V goes to infinity. The infinite volume limit. There is a simple linear relation that yields the kth virial coefficient from the value of d_k! We feel this expression gives the deepest insight into the virial coefficients so far obtained. What we show in this paper is that such polynomial relations for the d_k in these geometric quantities holds for the d_k for k < 28. Of course we expect it to hold for all k. We use the same computation procedure as Pernici. We note this procedure is not rigorously established. So far a procedure for the physicist, perhaps not the mathematician (their loss). It is a worthy challenge for the mathematical physicist to supply the needed rigor.

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.
