• Abstract summary: Molecular crystal structure prediction seeks the most stable periodic structure given the chemical composition of a molecule and pressure-temperature conditions. Modern CSP solvers use global optimization methods to search for structures with minimal free energy within a complex energy landscape induced by intermolecular potentials. We propose a class of periodic packings restricted to crystallographic symmetry groups (CSG) and design a search method for the densest CSG packings in an information-geometric framework.

• Abstract: Molecular crystal structure prediction (CSP) seeks the most stable periodic structure given the chemical composition of a molecule and pressure-temperature conditions. Modern CSP solvers use global optimization methods to search for structures with minimal free energy within a complex energy landscape induced by intermolecular potentials. A major caveat of these methods is that initial configurations are random, making thus the search susceptible to convergence at local minima. Providing initial configurations that are densely packed with respect to the geometric representation of a molecule can significantly accelerate CSP. Motivated by these observations, we define a class of periodic packings restricted to crystallographic symmetry groups (CSG) and design a search method for the densest CSG packings in an information-geometric framework. Since the CSG induce a toroidal topology on the configuration space, a non-Euclidean trust region method is performed on a statistical manifold consisting of probability distributions defined on an $n$-dimensional flat unit torus by extending the multivariate von Mises distribution. Introducing an adaptive quantile reformulation of the fitness function into the optimization schedule provides the algorithm with a geometric characterization through local dual geodesic flows. Moreover, we examine the geometry of the adaptive selection-quantile defined trust region and show that the algorithm performs a maximization of stochastic dependence among elements of the extended multivariate von Mises distributed random vector. We experimentally evaluate the behavior and performance of the method on various densest packings of convex polygons in $2$-dimensional CSGs for which optimal solutions are known, and demonstrate its application in the pentacene thin-film CSP.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

  We introduce a manifold learning-based surrogate modeling framework for uncertainty in high-dimensional systems. We employ Principal Geodesic Analysis on the Grassmann manifold of the response to identify a set of disjoint principal geodesic submanifolds. Polynomial chaos expansion is then used to construct a mapping between the random input parameters and the projection of the response.

  We consider the target distribution as a mapping where the infinite-dimensional space of the parameters consists of a number of deterministic submanifolds. We study the properties of the point, called Riesz, and embed it into sequential MCMC. We find that there will be higher acceptance rates with fewer evaluations.

We find out that the obtained optimal sensor locations have clear physical interpretation and correspond to the boundaries between sea currents.
