• Title: Correlators of Worldline Proper Length
• Authors: Allic Sivaramakrishnan,
• Abstract summary: We show that derivatives of the on-shell action with respect to worldline mass compute correlation functions of worldline proper length at tree level. We calculate the length-length two-point function and find it arises from correlated path fluctuations. We extract AdS worldline observables from local CFT correlators as computed by Witten diagrams.

• Abstract: A classical observer can measure elapsed proper time along their worldline. When observers are coupled to a system with internal correlations, measurements of elapsed time may inherit these correlations. We show that derivatives of the on-shell action with respect to worldline mass compute correlation functions of worldline proper length at tree level. We study worldlines coupled to a scalar field. We calculate the length-length two-point function and find it arises from correlated path fluctuations. As an application, we propose that the logarithm of local correlators serves as a generating function of length correlators, which generalizes the on-shell action prescription. Using this proposal, we extract AdS worldline observables from local CFT correlators as computed by Witten diagrams. We briefly discuss extensions to gravity, interferometers, and the holographic encoding of observer time.

  We propose a correlation-aware spatial-temporal graph learning (termed CST-GL) for time series anomaly detection. CST-GL explicitly captures the pairwise correlations via a multivariate time series correlation learning module. A novel anomaly scoring component is further integrated into CST-GL to estimate the degree of an anomaly in a purely unsupervised manner.

  We focus on spins with local interactions, whose correlations are extremely well captured by tensor network states. We define ensembles of random tensor network states in one and two spatial dimensions that admit a sequential generation. We observe the consistent emergence of a correlation length that depends only on the underlying spatial dimension and not the considered measure.
