• Abstract: In this paper we present a novel technique based on deep reinforcement learning that allows for numerical analytic continuation of integrals that are often encountered in one-loop diagrams in quantum field theory. In order to extract certain quantities of two-point functions, such as spectral densities, mass poles or multi-particle thresholds, it is necessary to perform an analytic continuation of the correlator in question. At one-loop level in Euclidean space, this results in the necessity to deform the integration contour of the loop integral in the complex plane of the square of the loop momentum, in order to avoid non-analyticities in the integration plane. Using a toy model for which an exact solution is known, we train a reinforcement learning agent to perform the required contour deformations. Our study shows great promise for an agent to be deployed in iterative numerical approaches used to compute non-perturbative 2-point functions, such as the quark propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation, or more generally, Fredholm equations of the second kind, in the complex domain.

• A machine learning pipeline for autonomous numerical analytic continuation of Dyson-Schwinger equations [0.0]
  Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) are a non-perturbative way to express n-point functions in quantum field theory. One has to deform the integration contour of the radial component in the complex plane of the loop momentum expressed in hyper-spherical coordinates. Since the nature of Dyson-Schwinger equations is such, that they have to be solved in a self-consistent way, one cannot analyze the analytic properties of the integrand after every step.
