• Authors: V. Niarchos, C. Papageorgakis,
• Abstract summary: We study the relation between the modulus and phase of amplitudes in $2to 2$ elastic scattering at fixed energies. We do not employ the integral relation imposed by unitarity, but instead train FNOs to discover it from many samples of amplitudes with finite partial wave expansions.

• Abstract: We use Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) to study the relation between the modulus and phase of amplitudes in $2\to 2$ elastic scattering at fixed energies. Unlike previous approaches, we do not employ the integral relation imposed by unitarity, but instead train FNOs to discover it from many samples of amplitudes with finite partial wave expansions. When trained only on true samples, the FNO correctly predicts (unique or ambiguous) phases of amplitudes with infinite partial wave expansions. When also trained on false samples, it can rate the quality of its prediction by producing a true/false classifying index. We observe that the value of this index is strongly correlated with the violation of the unitarity constraint for the predicted phase, and present examples where it delineates the boundary between allowed and disallowed profiles of the modulus. Our application of FNOs is unconventional: it involves a simultaneous regression-classification task and emphasizes the role of statistics in ensembles of NOs. We comment on the merits and limitations of the approach and its potential as a new methodology in Theoretical Physics.

  We develop a framework for non-asymptotic analysis of deterministic samplers used for diffusion generative modeling. We show that one step along the probability flow ODE can be expressed as two steps: 1) a restoration step that runs ascent on the conditional log-likelihood at some infinitesimally previous time, and 2) a degradation step that runs the forward process using noise pointing back towards the current gradient.

Previous work upper bounds the posterior variance over values by solving a so-called uncertainty Bellman equation. We propose a new uncertainty Bellman equation whose solution converges to the true posterior variance over values.

In a paradigmatic case of spin-boson dephasovian noise from a thermal environment, we find that it is possible to suppress, on average, the effect of correlations by randomizing the location of probes.
