• Abstract summary: Large N-body simulations have been built to obtain predictions in the non-linear regime. N-body simulations are computationally expensive and generate large amount of data, putting burdens on storage. We employ a deep neural network model to predict the nonlinear N-body simulation at an intermediate time step.

• Abstract: Understanding the physics of large cosmological surveys down to small (nonlinear) scales will significantly improve our knowledge of the Universe. Large N-body simulations have been built to obtain predictions in the non-linear regime. However, N-body simulations are computationally expensive and generate large amount of data, putting burdens on storage. These data are snapshots of the simulated Universe at different times, and fine sampling is necessary to accurately save its whole history. We employ a deep neural network model to predict the nonlinear N-body simulation at an intermediate time step given two widely separated snapshots. Our results outperform the cubic Hermite interpolation benchmark method in interpolating N-body simulations. This work can greatly reduce the storage requirement and allow us to reconstruct the cosmic history from far fewer snapshots of the universe.

  We describe a new, unbiased, and machine learning based approach to obtain useful scientific insights from a broad range of simulations. Our concept is based on applying nonlinear dimensionality reduction to learn compact representations of the data in a low-dimensional space. We present a prototype using a rotational invariant hyperspherical variational convolutional autoencoder, utilizing a power distribution in the latent space, and trained on galaxies from IllustrisTNG simulation.
