New non-Euclidean neural quantum states from hyperbolic Lorentz recurrent architectures

In this work, we construct new non-Euclidean neural quantum states (NQS) based on hyperbolic Lorentz recurrent architectures (RNN/GRU). These constructions, together with the Poincare RNN NQS also newly constructed here, extend the class of previously introduced non-Eucllidean NQS which consists only of Poincare hyperbolic GRU. Using the Heisenberg J1J2 and J1J2J3 models consisting of 100 spins in the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) setting, we show that the four hyperbolic RNN/GRU NQS variants are always able to furnish better representations of the ground state wavefunctions of the quantum systems than their respective Euclidean counterparts with the same architecture. In our experiments, among the four hyperbolic NQS, Lorentz RNN stands out in particular because despite having almost three times fewer parameters, it is capable of surpassing the more complex Poincare GRU and Lorentz GRU to emerge as the best overall hyperbolic NQS ansatz on many instances involving different J2 and (J2,J3) couplings. Given the findings from this work showing that the four newly constructed hyperbolic RNN/GRU NQS ansatze are able to outperform the well-established Euclidean RNN/GRU NQS in Heisenberg spin models, we establish the utility and efficiency of the hyperbolic Lorentz RNN/GRU NQS as well as the Poincare RNN/GRU NQS for future variational studies of quantum many-body systems, especially those exhibiting a hierarchical structure in the form of the different degrees of nearest-neighbor interactions.

Two-dimensional Hyperbolic RNN Neural Quantum State

In the first part of this work, we construct the first type of two-dimensional (2D) hyperbolic neural quantum state (NQS) in the form of the Lorentz 2DRNN (Recurrent Neural Network) and benchmark its performance against the Euclidean 2DRNN in the paradigmatic $N\times N$ 2D Transverse Field Ising Model (2DTFIM) setting with different lattice sizes up to $N=12$ and at different transverse magnetic field strengths. We find that hyperbolic Lorentz 2DRNN NQS definitively outperform Euclidean 2DRNN NQS when the system is at the phase transition point when the physics can be described by a conformal field theory (CFT), which is known to be dual to an Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space whose spatial geometry is hyperbolic. In the second part of this work, we benchmark the performances of the recently introduced one-dimensional (1D) hyperbolic NQS including Poincaré RNN/GRU and Lorentz RNN/GRU against their Euclidean NQS versions in $N\times N$ 2DTFIM, which has to be converted to a one-dimensional setting to allow for the use of 1D NQS. The findings in this case extend our previous results that 1D hyperbolic NQS definitively outperform 1D Euclidean NQS, thanks to the combined effects of the hierarchical structure comprising the first and $N^{th}$ neighbor interactions present in the 1D system arising from the 2D lattice and the CFT physics at the critical point. While more studies with larger system sizes are required, our work serves as a proof-of-concept for the utility, effectiveness as well as the superior performances of one- and two-dimensional hyperbolic NQS ansatzes compared to the existing Euclidean NQS in many-body quantum physics systems, especially when these systems exhibit structural hierarchy or when they are at criticality, or a combination of both.

Hyperbolic recurrent neural network as the first type of non-Euclidean neural quantum state ansatz

In this work, we introduce the first type of non-Euclidean neural quantum state (NQS) ansatz, in the form of the hyperbolic GRU (a variant of recurrent neural networks (RNNs)), to be used in the Variational Monte Carlo method of approximating the ground state energy for quantum many-body systems. In particular, we examine the performances of NQS ansatzes constructed from both conventional or Euclidean RNN/GRU and from hyperbolic GRU in the prototypical settings of the one- and two-dimensional transverse field Ising models (TFIM) and the one-dimensional Heisenberg $J_1J_2$ and $J_1J_2J_3$ systems. By virtue of the fact that, for all of the experiments performed in this work, hyperbolic GRU can yield performances comparable to or better than Euclidean RNNs, which have been extensively studied in these settings in the literature, our work is a proof-of-concept for the viability of hyperbolic GRU as the first type of non-Euclidean NQS ansatz for quantum many-body systems. Furthermore, in settings where the Hamiltonian displays a clear hierarchical interaction structure, such as the 1D Heisenberg $J_1J_2$ & $J_1J_2J_3$ systems with the 1st, 2nd and even 3rd nearest neighbor interactions, our results show that hyperbolic GRU definitively outperforms its Euclidean version in almost all instances. The fact that these results are reminiscent of the established ones from natural language processing where hyperbolic GRU almost always outperforms Euclidean RNNs when the training data exhibit a tree-like or hierarchical structure leads us to hypothesize that hyperbolic GRU NQS ansatz would likely outperform Euclidean RNN/GRU NQS ansatz in quantum spin systems that involve different degrees of nearest neighbor interactions. Finally, with this work, we hope to initiate future studies of other types of non-Euclidean NQS beyond hyperbolic GRU.

Exploring new variational quantum circuit ansatzes for solving $SU(2)$ matrix models

In this work, we explored and experimented with new forms of parameterized quantum circuits to be used as variational ansatzes for solving the bosonic and supersymmetric $SU(2)$ matrix models at different couplings using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm. Working with IBM Qiskit quantum computing platform, we show that two types of quantum circuits named TwoLocal and EvolvedOperatorAnsatz can outperform the popular EfficientSU2 circuits which have been routinely used in the recent quantum physics literature to run VQE. With their more customizable constructions that allow for more flexibility beyond choosing the types of parameterized rotation gates, both types of new circuit ansatzes used in this work have led to performances that are either better than or at least comparable to EfficientSU2 in the setting of $SU(2)$ matrix models. In particular, in the strong coupling regime of the bosonic model, both TwoLocal and EvolvedOperatorAnsatz circuits provided a better approximation to the exact ground state, while in the supersymmetric model, shallow EvolvedOperatorAnsatz circuits, with a small number of parameters, attained a comparable or even better performance compared to the much deeper EfficientSU2 circuits with around 8 to 9 times more parameters. The results of this work demonstrate conclusively the potential of TwoLocal and EvolvedOperatorAnsatz quantum circuits as efficient new types of variational ansatzes that should be considered more frequently in future VQE studies of quantum physics systems.

Deep Learning Calabi-Yau four folds with hybrid and recurrent neural network architectures

In this work, we report the results of applying deep learning based on hybrid convolutional-recurrent and purely recurrent neural network architectures to the dataset of almost one million complete intersection Calabi-Yau four-folds (CICY4) to machine-learn their four Hodge numbers $h^{1,1}, h^{2,1}, h^{3,1}, h^{2,2}$. In particular, we explored and experimented with twelve different neural network models, nine of which are convolutional-recurrent (CNN-RNN) hybrids with the RNN unit being either GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) or Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). The remaining four models are purely recurrent neural networks based on LSTM. In terms of the $h^{1,1}, h^{2,1}, h^{3,1}, h^{2,2}$ prediction accuracies, at 72% training ratio, our best performing individual model is CNN-LSTM-400, a hybrid CNN-LSTM with the LSTM hidden size of 400, which obtained 99.74%, 98.07%, 95.19%, 81.01%, our second best performing individual model is LSTM-448, an LSTM-based model with the hidden size of 448, which obtained 99.74%, 97.51%, 94.24%, and 78.63%. These results were improved by forming ensembles of the top two, three or even four models. Our best ensemble, consisting of the top four models, achieved the accuracies of 99.84%, 98.71%, 96.26%, 85.03%. At 80% training ratio, the top two performing models LSTM-448 and LSTM-424 are both LSTM-based with the hidden sizes of 448 and 424. Compared with the 72% training ratio, there is a significant improvement of accuracies, which reached 99.85%, 98.66%, 96.26%, 84.77% for the best individual model and 99.90%, 99.03%, 97.97%, 87.34% for the best ensemble. By nature a proof of concept, the results of this work conclusively established the utility of RNN-based architectures and demonstrated their effective performances compared to the well-explored purely CNN-based architectures in the problem of deep learning Calabi Yau manifolds.

New cosmological solutions from type II de-Sitter gaugings in 4D $N=4$ gauged supergravity

In this work, which is a follow-up of arXiv:2102.06512, we document new cosmological solutions from four-dimensional $N=4$ matter-coupled supergravity. The solutions smoothly interpolate between a $dS_2\times S^2$ spacetime at $t\rightarrow -\infty$ and a $dS_4$ spacetime at $t\rightarrow +\infty$ and arise from the second-order equations of motion. Unlike the previously reported solutions in arXiv:2102.06512 that involve the diagonal $U(1)$ subgroup of both the electric and magnetic factors in the gauging, these solutions only require a single $U(1)$ factor from either the electric or magnetic part. Two additional features of these solutions that distinguish them from the previously presented solutions are the nonvanishing value of the dilaton $ϕ$ and the fact that they are only admitted by the type II de-Sitter gauged theories.

Cosmological solutions from 5D $N=4$ matter-coupled supergravity

From five-dimensional $N=4$ matter-coupled gauged supergravity, smooth time-dependent cosmological solutions, connecting a $dS_{5-d}\times H^d$ (with $d=2,3$) spacetime at early times to a $dS_5$ spacetime at late times, are presented. The solutions are derived from the second-order equations of motion arising from all the gauged theories that can admit $dS_5$ solutions. There are eight such theories constructed from gauge groups of the form $SO(1,1)\times G_{nc}$ and $SO(1,1)^{(n)}_\text{diag}\times G_{nc}$, with $n=2,3$, where $G_{nc}$ is a non-compact gauge factor whose compact part must be embedded entirely in the matter symmetry group of 5D matter-coupled supergravity. Furthermore, we analyze how the cosmological solutions and their corresponding $dS_5$ vacua cannot arise from the first-order equations that solve the second-order field equations.

Cosmological solutions from 4D $N=4$ matter-coupled supergravity

From four-dimensional $N=4$ matter-coupled gauged supergravity, we study smooth time-dependent cosmological solutions interpolating between a $dS_2\times Σ_2$ spacetime, with $Σ_2 = S^2$ and $H^2$, in the infinite past and a $dS_4$ spacetime in the infinite future. The solutions were obtained by solving the second-order equations of motion from all the ten gauged theories known to admit $dS_4$ solutions, of which there are two types. Type I $dS$ gauged theories can admit both $dS$ solutions as well as supersymmetric $AdS$ solutions while type II $dS$ gauged theories only admit $dS$ solutions. We also study the extent to which the first-order equations that solve the aforementioned second-order field equations fail to admit the $dS_4$ vacua and their associated cosmological solutions.

$dS_5$ vacua from matter-coupled 5D N=4 gauged supergravity

We study $dS_5$ vacua within matter-coupled $N=4$ gauged supergravity in five dimensions using the embedding tensor formalism. With a simple ansatz for solving the extremization and positivity of the scalar potential, we derive a set of conditions for the gauged supergravity to admit $dS_5$ as maximally symmetric background solutions. The results provide a new approach for finding $dS_5$ vacua in five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity and explain a number of notable features pointed out in previous works. These conditions also determine the form of the gauge groups to be $SO(1,1)\times G_{\textrm{nc}}$ with $G_{\textrm{nc}}$ being a non-abelian non-compact group. In general, $G_{\textrm{nc}}$ can be a product of $SO(1,2)$ and a smaller non-compact group $G'_{\textrm{nc}}$ together with (possibly) a compact group. The $SO(1,1)$ factor is gauged by one of the six graviphotons, that is singlet under $SO(5)\sim USp(4)$ R-symmetry. The compact parts of $SO(1,2)$ and $G'_{\textrm{nc}}$ are gauged by vector fields from the gravity and vector multiplets, respectively. In addition, we explicitly study $dS_5$ vacua for a number of gauge groups and compute scalar masses at the vacua. As in the four-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity, all the $dS_5$ vacua identified here are unstable.

$dS_4$ vacua from matter-coupled 4D N=4 gauged supergravity

We study $dS_4$ vacua within matter-coupled $N=4$ gauged supergravity in the embedding tensor formalism. We derive a set of conditions for the existence of $dS_4$ solutions by using a simple ansatz for solving the extremization and positivity of the scalar potential. We find two classes of gauge groups that lead to $dS_4$ vacua. One of them consists of gauge groups of the form $G_{\textrm{e}}\times G_{\textrm{m}}\times H$ with $H$ being a compact group and $G_{\textrm{e}}\times G_{\textrm{m}}$ a non-compact group with $SO(3)\times SO(3)$ subgroup and dynonically gauged. These gauge groups are the same as those giving rise to maximally supersymmetric $AdS_4$ vacua. The $dS_4$ and $AdS_4$ vacua arise from different coupling ratios between $G_{\textrm{e}}$ and $G_{\textrm{m}}$ factors. Another class of gauge groups is given by $SO(2,1)_{\textrm{e}}\times SO(2,1)_{\textrm{m}}\times G_{\textrm{nc}}\times G'_{\textrm{nc}}\times H$ with $SO(2,1)$, $G_{\textrm{nc}}$ and $G'_{\textrm{nc}}$ dyonically gauged. We explicitly check that all known $dS_4$ vacua in $N=4$ gauged supergravity satisfy the aforementioned conditions, hence the two classes of gauge groups can accommodate all the previous results on $dS_4$ vacua in a simple framework. Accordingly, the results provide a new approach for finding $dS_4$ vacua. In addition, relations between the embedding tensors for gauge groups admitting $dS_4$ and $dS_5$ vacua are studied, and a new gauge group, $SO(2,1)\times SO(4,1)$, with a $dS_4$ vacuum is found by applying these relations to $SO(1,1)\times SO(4,1)$ gauge group in five dimensions.

Supersymmetric $AdS_5$ black holes and strings from 5D $N=4$ gauged supergravity

We study supersymmetric $AdS_3\times Σ_2$ and $AdS_2\times Σ_3$ solutions, with $Σ_2=S^2,H^2$ and $Σ_3=S^3,H^3$, in five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets. The gauge groups considered here are $U(1)\times SU(2)\times SU(2)$, $U(1)\times SO(3,1)$ and $U(1)\times SL(3,\mathbb{R})$. For $U(1)\times SU(2)\times SU(2)$ gauge group admiting two supersymmetric $N=4$ $AdS_5$ vacua, we identify a new class of $AdS_3\times Σ_2$ and $AdS_2\times H^3$ solutions preserving four supercharges. Holographic RG flows describing twisted compactifications of $N=2$ four-dimensional SCFTs dual to the $AdS_5$ vacua to the SCFTs in two and one dimensions dual to these geometries are numerically given. The solutions can also be interpreted as supersymmetric black strings and black holes in asymptotically $AdS_5$ spaces with near horizon geometries given by $AdS_3\times Σ_2$ and $AdS_2\times H^3$, respectively. These solutions broaden previously known black brane solutions including half-supersymmetric $AdS_5$ black strings recently found in $N=4$ gauged supergravity. Similar solutions are also studied in non-compact gauge groups $U(1)\times SO(3,1)$ and $U(1)\times SL(3,\mathbb{R})$.

Holographic RG flows and $AdS_5$ black strings from 5D half-maximal gauged supergravity

We study five-dimensional $N=4$ gauged supergravity coupled to five vector multiplets with compact and non-compact gauge groups $U(1)\times SU(2)\times SU(2)$ and $U(1)\times SO(3,1)$. For $U(1)\times SU(2)\times SU(2)$ gauge group, we identify $N=4$ $AdS_5$ vacua with $U(1)\times SU(2)\times SU(2)$ and $U(1)\times SU(2)_{\textrm{diag}}$ symmetries and analytically construct the corresponding holographic RG flow interpolating between these critical points. The flow describes a deformation of the dual $N=2$ SCFT driven by vacuum expaction values of dimension-two operators. In addition, we study $AdS_3\times Σ_2$ geometries, for $Σ_2$ being a two-sphere $S^2$ or a two-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^2$, dual to twisted compactifications of $N=2$ SCFTs with flavor symmetry $SU(2)$. We find a number of $AdS_3\times H^2$ solutions preserving eight supercharges for different twists from $U(1)\times U(1)\times U(1)$ and $U(1)\times U(1)_{\textrm{diag}}$ gauge fields. We numerically construct various RG flow solutions interpolating between $N=4$ $AdS_5$ ciritcal points and these $AdS_3\times H^2$ geometries in the IR. The solutions can also be interpreted as supersymmetric black strings in asymptotically $AdS_5$ space. These types of holographic solutions are also studied in non-compact $U(1)\times SO(3,1)$ gauge group. In this case, only one $N=4$ $AdS_5$ vacuum exists, and we give an RG flow solution from this $AdS_5$ to a singular geometry in the IR corresponding to an $N=2$ non-conformal field theory. An $AdS_3\times H^2$ solution together with an RG flow between this vacuum and the $N=4$ $AdS_5$ are also given.
