Dualities play an important role in establishing both microscopic and emergent phenomena in a wide range of physical systems. In practice, though, it can often be computationally challenging to establish when two systems are dual, even when all of the "rules of the game" are well-known.

arXiv:2607. 07127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lattice field theory is the workhorse of non-perturbative physics, used to simulate phenomena from the strong nuclear force to critical phenomena in materials.
arXiv:2608. 13335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks trained by gradient descent on a smooth cost function can nevertheless learn in steps: the cost holds on long plateaus and then drops abruptly.
The paper investigates the limits of implementing neural network field theory on a computer, focusing on function classes that are regular enough for computation. It presents a no‑go theorem showing that finite‑width network ensembles cannot consistently realize either a quantum or effective field theory due to violations of reflection positivity and lack of scale separation. The study distinguishes between finite‑width and infinite‑width interpretations, concluding that only smeared correlators of the infinite‑width limit are computable with controlled error, and identifies two possible ways to evade the theorem—by relaxing finite variance or exact rotation invariance.
arXiv:2605. 20440v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Symmetry is central to the physical sciences, yet machine learning usually captures it only approximately, leaving a residual per-step equivariance error $\varepsilon$ that compounds with depth $M$ as $M\varepsilon$, whereas exact equivariance holds at unbounded depth; we demonstrate this divergence at fourteen orders of magnitude.
arXiv:2607. 03109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a graph classification problem involving over 20 million graphs, arising from high-order perturbative computations of correlators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang--Mills, a model closely related to the theory of the strong nuclear force.
arXiv:2606. 25971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern neural network training relies on optimizers such as Adam and Muon which act on each weight matrix as a single object.
arXiv:2602. 22600v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training selects for behavior, not circuitry: many weight configurations can implement the same function.

arXiv:2606. 01227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many networks not only support but also rely on transient non-normal amplification, an orders-of-magnitude increase in the activity of an otherwise stable system.
