Thermodynamics a la Souriau on Kähler Non Compact Symmetric Spaces for Cartan Neural Networks

In this paper, we clarify several issues concerning the abstract geometrical formulation of thermodynamics on non compact symmetric spaces $\mathrm{U/H}$ that are the mathematical model of hidden layers in the new paradigm of Cartan Neural Networks. We introduce a distinction between the generalized thermodynamics associated with Dynamical Systems and the challenging proposal of Gibbs probability distributions on $\mathrm{U/H}$ provided by generalized thermodynamics {à} la Souriau. Main result is the proof that $\mathrm{U/H}$.s supporting Gibbs distributions are only the Kähler ones. For the latter, we solve the problem of determining the space of temperatures, namely of Lie algebra elements for which the partition function converges. The space of generalized temperatures is the orbit under the adjoint action of $\mathrm{U}$ of a positivity domain in the Cartan subalgebra $C_c\subset\mathbb{H}$ of the maximal compact subalgebra $\mathbb{H}\subset\mathbb{U}$. We illustrate how our explicit constructions for the Poincaré and Siegel planes might be extended to the whole class of Calabi-Vesentini manifolds utilizing Paint Group symmetry. Furthermore we claim that Rao's, Chentsov's, Amari's Information Geometry and the thermodynamical geometry of Ruppeiner and Lychagin are the very same thing. The most important property of the Gibbs probability distributions provided by the here introduced setup is their covariance with respect to the action of the full group of symmetries $\mathrm{U}$. The partition function is invariant against $\mathrm{U}$ transformations and the set of its arguments, namely the generalized temperatures, can be always reduced to a minimal set whose cardinality is equal to the rank of the compact denominator group $\mathrm{H}\subset \mathrm{U}$.

Cartan Networks: Group theoretical Hyperbolic Deep Learning

Hyperbolic deep learning leverages the metric properties of hyperbolic spaces to develop efficient and informative embeddings of hierarchical data. Here, we focus on the solvable group structure of hyperbolic spaces, which follows naturally from their construction as symmetric spaces. This dual nature of Lie group and Riemannian manifold allows us to propose a new class of hyperbolic deep learning algorithms where group homomorphisms are interleaved with metric-preserving diffeomorphisms. The resulting algorithms, which we call Cartan networks, show promising results on various benchmark data sets and open the way to a novel class of hyperbolic deep learning architectures.

Lectures on resolutions à la Kronheimer of orbifold singularities, McKay quivers for Gauge Theories on D3 branes, and the issue of Ricci flat metrics on the resolved three-folds

The present Lecture Notes have been prepared to back up a series of a few seminars given by the author at the Albert Einstein Institute in Potsdam. These Notes aim at reviewing a research project conducted over the last six years about a quite interesting and challenging topic, namely the use of the generalized Kronheimer construction and the generalized McKay correspondence for the crepant resolution $Y^Γ_{[3]} \to \frac{\mathbb{C}^3}Γ$ of orbifold singularities, $Γ$ being s finite subgroup of $\mathrm{SU(3)}$, as a strategic tool to construct holographic dual pairs of $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories in $D=4$ and D3-brane solutions of type IIB supergravity. The project, developed by Ugo Bruzzo with the present author, in various co-authorships with Massimo Bianchi, Anna Fino, Pietro Antonio Grassi, Dimitry Markushevich, Dario Martelli, Mario Trigiante and Umar Shahzad, is still going on and there are a lot of interesting unanswered questions that are illustrated throughout these Lecture Notes and particularly emphasized in its last chapter. The mathematical roots of this project are very robust and ramified in differential geometry, group theory and algebraic geometry. A particularly challenging issue is that of constructing Ricci flat metrics on the total space of line-bundles over compact Kähler manifolds of real dimension four. In that direction the symplectic action/angle formalism turns out to be a winning weapon. The ultimate goal is that of deducing all the aspects of holographic duality from finite group theory or, to be more precise, SU(3) finite subgroups

Chaos from Symmetry: Navier Stokes equations, Beltrami fields and the Universal Classifying Crystallographic Group

The core of this paper is a novel group-theoretical approach, initiated in 2015 by one of the present authors in collaboration with Alexander Sorin, which allows for a more systematic classification and algorithmic construction of Beltrami flows on torii $\mathbb{R}^3/Λ$ where $Λ$ is a crystallographic lattice. The new hydro-theory, based on the idea of a Universal Classifying Group $\mathfrak{UG}_Λ$, is here revised. We construct the so far missing $\mathfrak{UG}_{Λ_{Hex}}$ for the hexagonal lattice. Mastering the cubic and hexagonal instances, we can cover all cases. The classification relation between Beltrami Flows and contact structures is enlightened. The most promising research direction opened by the present work streams from the fact that the Fourier series expansion of a generic Navier-Stokes solution can be regrouped into an infinite sum of contributions $\mathbf{W}_r$, each associated with a spherical layer of quantized radius $r$ in the momentum lattice and consisting of a superposition of a Beltrami and an anti-Beltrami field, with an analogous decomposition into irreps of the group $\mathfrak{UG}_Λ$ that are variously repeated on higher layers. This crucial property enables the construction of generic Fourier series with prescribed hidden symmetries as candidate solutions of the NS equations. As a further result of this research programme a complete and versatile system of MATHEMATICA Codes named \textbf{AlmafluidaNSPsystem} has been constructed and is now available through the site of the Wolfram Community. The main message streaming from our constructions is that the more symmetric the Beltrami Flow the highest is the probability of the onset of chaotic trajectories.
