SymFlux: deep symbolic regression of Hamiltonian vector fields

We present SymFlux, a novel deep learning framework that performs symbolic regression to identify Hamiltonian functions from their corresponding vector fields on the standard symplectic plane. SymFlux models utilize hybrid CNN-LSTM architectures to learn and output the symbolic mathematical expression of the underlying Hamiltonian. Training and validation are conducted on newly developed datasets of Hamiltonian vector fields, a key contribution of this work. Our results demonstrate the model's effectiveness in accurately recovering these symbolic expressions, advancing automated discovery in Hamiltonian mechanics.

Areas on the space of smooth probability density functions on $S^2$

We present symbolic and numerical methods for computing Poisson brackets on the spaces of measures with positive densities of the plane, the 2-torus, and the 2-sphere. We apply our methods to compute symplectic areas of finite regions for the case of the 2-sphere, including an explicit example for Gaussian measures with positive densities.

Turing approximations, toric isometric embeddings & manifold convolutions

Convolutions are fundamental elements in deep learning architectures. Here, we present a theoretical framework for combining extrinsic and intrinsic approaches to manifold convolution through isometric embeddings into tori. In this way, we define a convolution operator for a manifold of arbitrary topology and dimension. We also explain geometric and topological conditions that make some local definitions of convolutions which rely on translating filters along geodesic paths on a manifold, computationally intractable. A result of Alan Turing from 1938 underscores the need for such a toric isometric embedding approach to achieve a global definition of convolution on computable, finite metric space approximations to a smooth manifold.

Contour Parametrization via Anisotropic Mean Curvature Flows

We present a new implementation of anisotropic mean curvature flow for contour recognition. Our procedure couples the mean curvature flow of planar closed smooth curves, with an external field from a potential of point-wise charges. This coupling constrains the motion when the curve matches a picture placed as background. We include a stability criteria for our numerical approximation.
