Unsupervised Neural Operators for Rotating Relativistic Stars: High-Fidelity Equation of State Inference and Pulsar Spin Evolution at Scale

The paper presents physics‑informed neural operators that solve the axisymmetric general relativistic hydrostatic equilibrium equations for rotating neutron stars with high accuracy and negligible computational cost. Trained in a fully unsupervised manner using only the governing partial differential equations, the solvers achieve a thousand‑fold speed‑up compared to traditional methods. This advancement enables scalable equation‑of‑state inference and spin evolution predictions that fully account for rotation and associated uncertainties in large population synthesis studies.

Introducing SINFONIA: Symplectic, slimplectic and Magnusian (Neural) Flows for Orbital Numerical Integration and Acceleration

The paper introduces SINFONIA, a family of neural-flow architectures designed to learn finite-time evolution maps for orbital dynamics while preserving key physical structures. Three variants—symplectic/slimplectic, Taylor-anchored, and Magnusian—are applied to a 2.5PN neutron-star inspiral, demonstrating that long-term accuracy depends on a single secular channel tied to energy–angular-momentum balance rather than pointwise errors. These learned maps achieve accurate phase evolution over up to $10^{5}$ orbital periods at lower computational cost than traditional integrators, and can also be used to infer unmodeled forces from accumulated phase data.

Introducing SINFONIA: Symplectic, slimplectic and Magnusian (Neural) Flows for Orbital Numerical Integration and Acceleration

The paper introduces SINFONIA, a family of neural‑flow architectures designed to learn structure‑preserving evolution maps for long‑duration gravitational‑wave modelling. Three variants—symplectic, slimplectic, and Magnusian—are trained on a 2.5PN neutron‑star inspiral and demonstrate that long‑time accuracy is governed by a single secular channel linked to energy–angular‑momentum balance, allowing accurate integration over up to $10^{5}$ orbital periods with far fewer computational steps than traditional integrators. The learned maps also enable physics inference, recovering un‑modelled dissipative forces from accumulated phase information.

NucleoNet: A Nuclear-Aware Determinant Ansatz for Multi-Geometry Neural Variational Monte Carlo

NucleoNet is a neural‑network variational Monte Carlo ansatz that treats electrons and nuclei as a unified particle set, allowing a single model to be optimized across multiple geometries. The approach uses a shared electron–nucleus backbone to evolve one‑particle and two‑particle representations, with nuclear streams learning representations that condition orbital construction while antisymmetry is enforced only by electronic determinants. On small‑molecule benchmarks, NucleoNet matches the accuracy of established neural‑wavefunction baselines with far fewer parameters and successfully describes dissociation curves and minimum‑energy paths for several systems, demonstrating that a compact wavefunction can capture molecular geometries with a single set of parameters.

Machine Learning Applications in the Solar Interior and Atmosphere

The article discusses how machine learning can be applied to the Sun’s interior and atmosphere, which are complex, multiscale dynamical systems. It introduces a state-space framework where the Sun’s global state vector is governed by thermodynamic, kinetic, and magnetic properties, and observations provide only partial, projected measurements. The authors propose that machine learning serves as a family of operators—Inference, Emulation, Propagation, and Control—to reconstruct, simulate, and couple this hidden state across different physical layers, thereby bridging observational gaps and accelerating nonlinear simulations to predict the Sun’s global evolution.

ASTROLABE: A 3D Particle-Level Surrogate for Cosmology Simulation with Physical Flow Matching

ASTROLABE is a flow‑matching generative emulator that operates directly on the 6N phase‑space coordinates of individual particles, avoiding voxel grids and allowing any observable to be measured from inference. It uses a field‑particle hybrid transformer so that compute and memory scale linearly with the number of particles, and incorporates physical flow matching by basing the prior on COLA‑derived coordinates with momentum and mass conservation enforced throughout the flow. In Lambda‑CDM tests, ASTROLABE reproduces realistic fields, accurate power spectra, halo mass functions, velocity profiles, and halo density profiles, and it generalizes to out‑of‑distribution dark‑acoustic oscillation initial conditions while also being fine‑tuned to emulate large‑scale simulations such as TNG50‑3‑dark at a fraction of the cost.

Transformers with Physics-Informed Encodings and Simulation-Based Inference for Robust Detection of Eccentric Binary Black Holes in Pulsar Timing Array Data

arXiv:2607. 03904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) provide a unique window into nanohertz gravitational waves (GWs), but extracting astrophysical parameters from noisy, long-baseline timing residuals remains computationally challenging with traditional Bayesian techniques due to the high dimensionality of the parameter space, complex and correlated noise models, and the cost of repeated likelihood evaluations.

Learning Schwarzschild Geodesic Motion with Lagrangian Neural Networks

The paper presents a method for training Lagrangian Neural Networks (LNNs) to learn Schwarzschild geodesic motion. By introducing a decoupled position–velocity normalization and an energy-constrained log-uniform sampling strategy, the authors achieve accurate reproduction of perihelion precession, relativistic time dilation, and conservation of energy and angular momentum across diverse orbital regimes. This work marks the first successful training of LNNs on Schwarzschild geodesics and demonstrates their potential for data-driven modeling of complex relativistic systems.

Approximating neutron-star radii using gravitational-wave only measurements with symbolic regression

The paper presents a symbolic regression approach that derives an approximate expression for neutron‑star radii using only gravitational‑wave data from binary inspirals. By training on TOV solutions with piecewise polytropic equations of state, the authors obtain a formula that reproduces radii with differences of only a few hundred meters across a wide range of neutron‑star parameters. The method is validated on realistic dense‑matter EOSs and applied to the GW170817 event, comparing the inferred radii to existing distributions.

Machine Learning Meets High-Energy Nuclear Physics: From Pattern Recognition to Physics-Integrated Discovery

The article reviews recent progress in applying machine learning to high‑energy nuclear physics, highlighting a shift from basic pattern recognition to physics‑integrated workflows. It covers calibrated Bayesian extraction of QCD matter properties, equation‑of‑state inference from heavy‑ion and neutron‑star data, generative event modeling, neural unfolding of weak signals, differentiable inverse solvers, gauge‑equivariant lattice‑field samplers, and holographic QCD reconstructions. The focus is on how ML models incorporate physical constraints—symmetries, conservation laws, causality, thermodynamic stability, and topology—and how uncertainty quantification and validation ensure reliable physics conclusions.
