## Colloquium Mathematical Physics

### Random matrices, spin glasses, and machine learning

Guest:

Jon Keating

Oxford University

Abstract:

I will describe some problems relating to machine learning and their connections to random matrix theory and spin glasses. These connections give a mathematical framework for understanding in qualitative terms the effectiveness of certain algorithms that are important in machine learning, but developing them into precise models remains a major challenge. I will reflect on the different roles played by models in computer science and physics, focussing on those involving random matrices.

### Machine Learning for Thermodynamic Observables in Lattice Field Theories

Date:

Time:

Place:

Online, via ZOOM

Guest:

Lena Funcke

Abstract:

In this talk, I will discuss how applying machine learning techniques to lattice field theory is a promising route for solving problems where Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are problematic. More specifically, I will show that deep generative models can be used to estimate thermodynamic observables like the free energy, which contrasts with existing MCMC-based methods that are limited to only estimate free energy differences. I will demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for two-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory and compare it to MCMC-based methods in detailed numerical experiments.

Abstract:

Log-gases with inverse temperature beta are systems with many applications in physics, for example in the theory of superconductors or the fractional quantum Hall effect. For some specific values of beta a correspondence to random matrix theory (RMT) is well established. The advantage of this connection is the usage of the RMT methods in the study of those systems. The goal of this talk is the discussion of Log-gases in two dimensions, i.e. in the non-Hermitian case, for more general values of the inverse temperature. Therefore, we study in the first part a model of normal 2 × 2 matrices with beta in [0,2] and discuss whether we find a surmise for the nearest-neighbour spacing distribution of large matrices. In the second part of the talk we introduce the study of symmetry classes in non-Hermitian RMT. We conjecture that the classes of complex symmetric and complex quaternion matrices can be effectively described by Log-gases in two dimensions with non-integer inverse temperatures.
