Nathan Reading

AI总结 本文研究了弱序格同余在Coxeter群中的几何与代数性质,提出了一种统一的解释,并推广了从排列到三角剖分和子集的映射。通过构造与格商相关的完整扇形,建立了与非交换对称函数Hopf代数相关的子Hopf代数,并利用模式避免描述其基。研究还表明,Malvenuto-Reutenauer代数可以视为一系列更小代数的极限,并与Baxter排列数量相等的排列集建立了联系。

英文摘要

We give a unified explanation of the geometric and algebraic properties of two well-known maps, one from permutations to triangulations, and another from permutations to subsets. Furthermore we give a broad generalization of the maps. Specifically, for any lattice congruence of the weak order on a Coxeter group we construct a complete fan of convex cones with strong properties relative to the corresponding lattice quotient of the weak order. We show that if a family of lattice congruences on the symmetric groups satisfies certain compatibility conditions then the family defines a sub Hopf algebra of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer Hopf algebra of permutations. Such a sub Hopf algebra has a basis which is described by a type of pattern avoidance. Applying these results, we build the Malvenuto-Reutenauer algebra as the limit of an infinite sequence of smaller algebras, where the second algebra in the sequence is the Hopf algebra of non-commutative symmetric functions. We also associate both a fan and a Hopf algebra to a set of permutations which appears to be equinumerous with the Baxter permutations.

英文摘要

Newman, Schneider and Shalev defined the entropy of a graded associative algebra A as H(A) = \limsup_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n]{a_n}, where a_n is the vector space dimension of the n'th homogeneous component. When A is the homogeneous quotient of a finitely generated free associative algebra, they showed that H(A) \le \sqrt{a_2}. Using some results of Friedland on the maximal spectral radius of 0-1 matrices with a prescribed number of ones, we improve on this bound.

Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a centered convex body of volume one. We prove that there exist absolute constants $c,C > 0$ and an orthonormal set of vectors $Θ\subset S^{n-1}$ with size $\left|Θ\right| \ge 9n/10$ such that, if $X$ is a random vector uniformly distributed on $K$, then for all $θ\in Θ$ one has \[ c\cdot \sqrt{p}\,\left(\mathbb{E} \left|\left\langle X,θ\right\rangle\right|^2\right)^{1/2} \le \left(\mathbb{E} \left|\left\langle X,θ\right\rangle\right|^p\right)^{1/p} \le C\cdot \sqrt{p}\,\left(\mathbb{E} \left|\left\langle X,θ\right\rangle\right|^2\right)^{1/2}, \] where the upper estimate holds for all $p \ge 1$ while the lower bound only holds for $1 \le p \le n$.

英文摘要

Transformers with self-attention modules as their core components have become an integral architecture in modern large language and foundation models. In this paper, we study the evolution of tokens in deep encoder-only transformers at inference time which is described in the large-token limit by a mean-field continuity equation. Leveraging ideas from the convergence analysis of interacting multi-particle systems, with particles corresponding to tokens, we prove that the token distribution rapidly concentrates onto the push-forward of the initial distribution under a projection map induced by the key, query, and value matrices, and remains metastable for moderate times. Specifically, we show that the Wasserstein distance of the two distributions scales like $\sqrt{{\log(β+1)}/β}\exp(Ct)+\exp(-ct)$ in terms of the temperature parameter $β^{-1}\to 0$ and inference time $t\geq 0$. For the proof, we establish Lyapunov-type estimates for the zero-temperature equation, identify its limit as $t\to\infty$, and employ a stability estimate in Wasserstein space together with a quantitative Laplace principle to couple the two equations. Our result implies that for time scales of order $\logβ$ the token distribution concentrates at the identified limiting distribution. Numerical experiments confirm this and, beyond that, complement our theory by showing that for finite $β$ and large $t$ the dynamics enter a different terminal phase, dominated by the spectrum of the value matrix.

英文摘要

Preserving the admissible set of the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations is important not only for producing physically meaningful numerical solutions, but more importantly for achieving robust computations. In this paper, we develop an optimization-based limiter to enforce admissibility while preserving global conservation and accuracy. For an easy and efficient projection, we decompose the admissible set into slices parameterized by the magnetic energy, so that the MHD projection reduces to a one-dimensional minimization, which can be solved efficiently by the Brent method. The splitting method can be used to efficiently solve the global minimization problem of the optimization-based limiter, which can be used to enforce cell average admissibility in discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes, and pointwise admissibility can be further enforced by the Zhang-Shu positivity-preserving limiter. We apply the limiter to high-order DG schemes and present numerical results for a few representative MHD problems.

英文摘要

We study the enumeration of spinal tree-child phylogenetic networks, a rigid family of tree-child networks in which all internal vertices lie on a single root--to--leaf path. We provide two complementary combinatorial frameworks. First, we introduce a word model: unlabeled spinal networks correspond to a suitable class of restricted words with fixed multiplicities, taken modulo a simple relabeling equivalence, which yields an explicit closed enumeration. Second, we develop a symbolic-method approach based on a marked version of trees that admits a clean recursive specification; its boxed-product translation leads to a solvable bivariate generating function and a direct derivation of the coefficients.

英文摘要

We consider a high quantile homogeneity test to determine whether a certain set of explanatory variables has homogeneous effects on different high quantiles of the response variable in the tail. To accommodate for situations under both the null and the alternative, the auxiliary process in this case may no longer be treated as stationary, and the problem requires a joint analysis of both homoscedastic and heteroskedastic high quantiles. For this, we develop a novel Bahadur representation result in the high quantile setting for a general class of tail dependent time series under potential heteroskedasticity, which can be of interest by its own. In particular, the Bahadur representation provides a foundation for reducing problems regarding nonlinear high quantile regression estimators to those regarding suitably constructed linear forms with an explicit error bound and can be transformative and useful in many statistical problems. We in the current article apply it to guide the development of a generative high quantile homogeneity test, which is then illustrated through applications to both synthetic and real data.

英文摘要

The overlap gap property (OGP) is a statement about the geometry of near-optimal solutions. Exhibiting OGP implies failure of a class of local algorithms; and has been observed to coincide with conjectured algorithmic limits in problems with statistical computational gap. We consider the Stochastic Block Model (SBM), where the graph has a planted partition with $k$ equal-size blocks which form the `communities', and where, for parameters $p>q$, vertices within the same community connect with probability $p$, while vertices in different communities connect with probability $q$, independently across pairs of vertices. Modularity--based clustering algorithms have become ubiquitous in applications. This article studies theoretical limits of local algorithms based on the modularity score on the SBM. We establish that modularity exhibits OGP on the SBM. This rules out a class of local algorithms based on modularity for recovery in the SBM, and shows slow mixing time for a related Markov Chain. Theoretically this is one of the few instances where OGP has been established for a `planted' model, as most such analyses to date consider the `null' model. As part of our analysis, we extend a result by Bickel and Chen 2009, who established that with high probability, the modularity optimal partition of SBM is $o(n)$ local moves away from the planted partition, where $n$ is the graph size. We show that, with high probability, any partition with modularity score sufficiently near the optimal value is close to the planted partition.

Parafermionizing the Monster

We study the parafermionization of the Monster CFT with respect to its $\mathbb{Z}_{pA}$ subgroups, with $p$ an odd prime. Under certain assumptions, we show that the parafermionization is equal to a non-invertible gauging of $\mathcal{P}(p) \times \mathcal{P}(p)^\vee$, where $\mathcal{P}(p)$ is the theory of $\mathbb{Z}_p$-parafermions and $\mathcal{P}(p)^\vee$ is an appropriate dual theory, with global symmetry characterized by the centralizer of $\mathbb{Z}_{pA}$. By tracking the symmetries of $\mathcal{P}(p) \times \mathcal{P}(p)^\vee$ through the non-invertible gauging, we argue that the diagonal Monster CFT has $\mathrm{Rep}(\mathfrak{so}(3)_p) \boxtimes \mathrm{Rep}(\mathfrak{so}(3)_p)^\mathrm{op}$ symmetry, and hence that the holomorphic Monster theory has symmetry $\mathrm{Rep}(\mathfrak{so}(3)_p)$. We then compute the defect McKay-Thompson series associated to these symmetries, and prove that their invariance subgroups are $Γ_1(p+2)$.

英文摘要

The chromatic threshold of a graph $H$ is the minimum-degree density above which every $H$-free graph has bounded chromatic number. We study a two-color Ramsey analogue: for graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, we ask for the minimum-degree density above which every graph that admits a red-blue edge-coloring with no red copy of $H_1$ and no blue copy of $H_2$ has bounded chromatic number. We give a complete answer when both $H_1$ and $H_2$ are 3-chromatic. The threshold takes exactly one of the five values \[ \frac23,\quad \frac57,\quad \frac34,\quad \frac79,\quad \frac45, \] and we characterize precisely which pairs $(H_1,H_2)$ give each value. The classification is determined by the ordinary chromatic thresholds of $H_1$ and $H_2$ and by their embeddability into a hierarchy of $C_5$-type Ramsey configurations.

We consider nonlinear functionals of discrete Gaussian free fields with ergodic random conductances on a class of random subgraphs of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$, including i.i.d. supercritical percolation clusters, where the conductances are possibly unbounded but satisfy an integrability condition. As our main result, we show that, for almost every realisation of the environment, the nonlinear functionals of the rescaled field converge to their continuum counterparts in the Sobolev space $H^{-s}(D)$ for suitable $s > 0$. To obtain the latter, we establish pointwise bounds for the Green's function of the associated random walk among random conductances with Dirichlet boundary conditions, which are valid for all $d \geq 2$.

Private Information Retrieval With Arbitrary Privacy Requirements for Graph-Based Storage

英文摘要

We reformulate the definition of privacy in the private information retrieval (PIR) problem to accommodate flexible privacy requirements. We focus on graph-replicated PIR, with a generalized privacy requirement, instead of requiring all messages to be private from all servers, during retrieval. Towards this, we define a privacy requirement set for each server, which can be an arbitrary subset of all message indices, as long as the stored message indices are in their privacy requirement set. Since both the storage and privacy requirement sets have many possibilities, we focus on two specific storage settings, namely the path and cyclic graphs. We consider several privacy settings for each of them, which are not necessarily the same, to give different examples for privacy sets. Of particular interest are the privacy sets that comprise the indices of messages stored at servers within a neighborhood range. The neighborhood range parameter allows a transition from the recently introduced local PIR [1] to the standard graph-replicated PIR. In these cases, we derive bounds on the capacity or find the exact capacity.

Neural Weight Norm = Kolmogorov Complexity

Tiberiu Musat

详情
英文摘要

Why does weight decay work? We prove that, in any fixed-precision regime, the smallest weight norm of a looped neural network outputting a binary string equals the Kolmogorov complexity of that string, up to a logarithmic factor. This implies that weight decay induces a prior matching Solomonoff's universal prior, the optimal prior over computable functions, up to a polynomial factor. The result is norm-agnostic: in fixed precision, every weight norm collapses to the non-zero parameter count up to constants, so the same sandwich bound holds for any norm used as a regulariser. The proof has two short reductions: any program for a universal Turing machine can be encoded into neural weights at unit cost per program bit, and any fixed-precision network can be described by enumerating its non-zero parameters with logarithmic addressing overhead. Both bounds are tight up to constants, with the logarithmic factor realised by permutation encodings: a network whose parameters encode a permutation produces a string whose Kolmogorov complexity is the non-zero parameter count times its logarithm. The fixed-precision assumption is essential: with infinite precision, neural networks can encode non-computable functions and the weight norm loses its relevance.

Local Private Information Retrieval: A New Privacy Perspective for Graph-Based Replicated Systems

Shreya Meel, Mohamed Nomeir, Sennur Ulukus

AI总结 本文重新定义了多服务器图复制私有信息检索(PIR)系统中的隐私概念,提出了一种新的隐私保护模型——局部用户隐私,即用户仅需隐藏其请求的消息索引,当且仅当该服务器存储了对应消息。研究核心在于分析这种局部隐私下PIR的通信效率提升,并建立了相应的容量理论。研究发现,在由不同图组成的离散图联合中,局部PIR容量具有乘法性优势,且对连通图提出了下界分析,特别地,推导出了环图和奇数顶点路径图的精确局部PIR容量。

英文摘要

We rethink the definition of privacy in multi-server, graph-replicated private information retrieval (PIR) systems, and introduce a novel setting where the user's privacy is governed by the servers' storage structure. In particular, while retrieving a message from a server, the user is concerned with hiding their desired message index from the server, only if the server stores the corresponding message. We coin this privacy requirement as local user privacy and the resulting PIR problem as local PIR on the graph. Our goal is to measure the gain in communication efficiency of local PIR, compared to that of canonical PIR, by establishing its capacity, i.e., the maximum number of message symbols retrieved, per downloaded symbol. To this end, we observe a remarkable gain in the local PIR capacity of graphs, that are disjoint union of distinct graphs, which is multiplicative, compared to the PIR capacity, when the individual graphs are identical. For connected graphs, we propose schemes to establish capacity lower bounds for edge-transitive and bipartite graphs, which are greater than the best-known PIR capacity bounds. Finally, we derive the exact local PIR capacity for the cyclic graph, and the path graph with an odd number of vertices.

We use a geometrical approach to these problems which, in part, goes back to Schläfli and consists in studying certain determinantal schemes associated to the hypermatrix.

英文摘要

Chromatic choosability is a notion of fundamental importance in list coloring. A graph $G$ is chromatic-choosable when its chromatic number, $χ(G)$, is equal to its list chromatic number $χ_{\ell}(G)$. In 1990, Kostochka and Sidorenko introduced the list color function of a graph $G$, denoted $P_{\ell}(G,m)$, which is the list analogue of the chromatic polynomial of $G$, $P(G,m)$. A graph $G$ is said to be enumeratively chromatic-choosable when $P_{\ell}(G,m)=P(G,m)$ for every $m \in \mathbb{N}$. Theta graphs and their generalizations have played an important role in graph coloring problems over the years; for example, they appear in the characterization of chromatic-choosable graphs with chromatic number 2. In this paper we characterize the enumeratively chromatic-choosable theta graphs. Our proof utilizes ideas from DP-coloring (a.k.a. correspondence coloring), providing yet another example of how the more general setting of DP-coloring can be leveraged to attack a problem in list coloring.

Relaxation via Separable Estimators: Arithmetic and Implementation

英文摘要

This article presents an arithmetic, called superposition relaxation, for bracketing the graph of a multivariate factorable function on a compact domain between a pair of underestimating and overestimating functions that are both separable. Propagation rules are established for affine and nonlinear composition operations, with a focus on exploiting global monotonicity and convexity properties in the composition. The local convergence properties of this arithmetic are also analyzed in both the pointwise and Hausdorff sense, including conditions under which quadratic pointwise convergence propagates through composition. Parameterizations of the univariate summands in a superposition relaxation either as piecewise-constant or continuous piecewise-linear functions are discussed for a practical implementation. It is shown through numerical case studies that superposition relaxations can be consistently tighter than McCormick relaxations, including for the relaxation of artificial neural networks. But superposition relaxations also incur a higher computational cost than McCormick relaxations. Further investigations are thus warranted as applications in global optimization seek to balance a relaxation's tightness with its computational cost.

We construct moment functions that are Neyman-orthogonal to a chosen order in parametric moment condition models. These moment functions reduce sensitivity to nuisance estimation error and, as such, offer a unified and tractable route to higher-order debiasing in a wide range of econometric models. The number of additional nuisance parameters required by our construction, beyond those already present in the original moment conditions, is independent of the order of orthogonalization and can be reduced to a single scalar if desired.

英文摘要

This paper studies algorithmic meta theorems for property testing with \emph{constant running time} in the bounded degree model. In (Adler, Harwath 2018) it was shown that on graph classes $\mathcal C^{w}_d$ consisting of all graphs with both degree at most $d$ and treewidth at most $w$, every problem expressible in monadic second-order logic with counting (CMSO) is testable with \emph{polylogarithmic} running time (where $d,w\in \mathbb N$ are fixed). It was left open whether this can be improved to \emph{constant} running time. In this paper we give a positive answer for testing CMSO on classes $\mathcal C^{c}_d$, where $d$ bounds the degree and $c$ bounds the component size. Our main result shows constant time testability of first-order logic with modulo counting (FOMOD) on $\mathcal C^{c}_d$. For our proof we tailor Hanf normal form of FOMOD to our setting, and we exhibit a number-theoretic `patchability' condition that allows to infer global information on the input graph from a local sample of constant size. We believe that our `patchability' might be of independent interest. The step from FOMOD to CMSO then follows from a result by (Eickmeyer, Elberfeld, Harwath, 2017) on the expressive power of order invariant monadic second-order logic on classes of bounded treedepth.

英文摘要

Laplacians on metric graphs are used to construct continuous families of Hamiltonians with different topological structure. One such family is used to demonstrate that Hamiltonians with real-valued eigenfunctions may possess non-trivial geometric Berry's phase. Connections between non-trivial Berry's phase and topology change are discussed.

Gigliola Staffilani, Minh-Binh Tran

英文摘要

We establish a new class of entropy structures for \(3\)-wave kinetic equations with a broad family of interaction weights. Unlike the classical entropies arising from detailed balance, these estimates are generated by a one-sided algebraic balance condition encoded in the interaction weights. To the best of our knowledge, this family of entropy estimates has not previously appeared in the physical literature on wave turbulence. These estimates form the central a priori mechanism of the paper and are the key ingredient in the construction of global weak \(L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}\) solutions. We also prove a long-time rigidity result, showing that the solutions obtained by this entropy compactness method relax locally to the zero equilibrium as \(t\to\infty\).

英文摘要

The KAK decomposition is a fundamental tool in Lie theory and quantum computing. Despite its widespread use, the mathematical foundations remain incomplete, particularly regarding the precise conditions for the decomposition and the characterization of equivalence classes under multiplication by elements of $K$. Here, we present a mathematical theory of the KAK decomposition for connected compact semisimple Lie groups and derive the decomposition for $\mathrm{SU}(4)$. In particular, we clarify the relationship between various definitions of a Cartan decomposition in the literature and give a complete proof of a general KAK decomposition theorem. We then distinguish two distinct notions of KAK equivalence classes, double coset equivalence and projective equivalence, thereby addressing mathematical inconsistencies regarding KAK classification in the literature. Specifically, for $\mathrm{SU}(4)$, we show that local equivalence classes under multiplication by $\mathrm{SU}(2)\otimes \mathrm{SU}(2)$ are geometrically represented not by the usual "Weyl chamber" as claimed in the existing literature. Instead, the "Weyl chamber" is only recovered by the projective-local equivalence which disregards global phases. We develop a systematic theory for determining equivalence and uniqueness for both notions of equivalence. Our work establishes a rigorous Lie-theoretic foundation for the theory of quantum gates and circuits.

The conflict-free closed neighborhood (CFCN$^*$) chromatic number of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ for which there exists a coloring of a subset of vertices using $k$ colors such that, for every vertex in $V$, there exists a color that appears exactly once in its closed neighborhood. The conflict-free open neighborhood (CFON$^*$) chromatic number is defined analogously. In this paper, we study `list variants' of the above-mentioned coloring parameters. The conflict-free closed neighborhood (CFCN$^*$) choice number of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that for every assignment of lists of size $k$ to its vertices, there exists a coloring of a subset of vertices, say $V'$, in which (i) every vertex in $V'$ receives a color from its list, and (ii) for every vertex in $V$ there exists some color that appears exactly once in its closed neighborhood. The conflict-free open neighborhood (CFON$^*$) choice number is defined analogously. Dębski and Przybyło [Journal of Graph Theory, 2022] showed that for any graph $G$ with maximum degree $Δ$, the CFCN$^*$ chromatic number of its line graph is $O(\ln Δ)$. This result was later extended to claw-free graphs by Bhyravarapu et al. [Journal of Graph Theory, 2025], who proved that every $K_{1,k}$-free graph $G$ admits a CFCN$^*$ coloring using $O(k\ln Δ)$ colors. In this paper, we generalize this result to the list setting and show that every $K_{1,k}$-free graph $G$ has a CFCN$^*$ choice number of $O(k\ln Δ)$. Further, we answer some questions concerning the hardness of computing CFCN$^*$/CFON$^*$ choice numbers posed by Gupta and Mathew [SOFSEM, 2026]; in particular, we show that it is NP-hard to determine whether the CFCN$^*$/CFON$^*$ choice number a graph is equal to $k$, for $k=1,2$.

On the global convergence of gradient descent for wide shallow models with bounded nonlinearities

Romain Petit, Clarice Poon, Gabriel Peyré

AI总结 本文研究了宽浅神经网络在梯度下降训练过程中能够收敛到全局最小值的现象,尤其关注具有有界非线性激活函数的模型。作者通过分析训练损失函数的非全局极小点的不稳定性,证明在参数初始分布具有全支撑(如高斯分布)且隐藏单元或注意力头数较多时,连续时间梯度下降只能收敛到全局最小值。研究扩展了现有结果,适用于多头注意力层和输出为向量的两层Sigmoid网络,并完善了对这类模型的“逃逸活跃集”构造,进一步验证了训练动态的稳定性。

英文摘要

A surprising phenomenon in the training of neural networks is the ability of gradient descent to find global minimizers of the training loss despite its non-convexity. Following earlier works, we investigate this behavior for wide shallow networks. Existing results essentially cover the case of ReLU activations and the case of sigmoid activations with scalar output weights. We study a large class of models that includes multi-head attention layers and two-layer sigmoid networks with vector output weights. Building upon [Chizat and Bach, 2018], we prove that all non-global minimizers of the training loss are unstable under gradient descent dynamics. Thus, when the initial distribution of the parameters has full support (which includes the popular Gaussian case), and in the many hidden neurons or attention heads limit, continuous-time gradient descent can only converge to global minimizers. Establishing the instability of non-global minimizers corresponds to the construction of an ``escaping active set'' -- we complete the proof of [Chizat and Bach, 2018] to construct this set for models with bounded nonlinearities and scalar output weights. We also extend this construction to new cases for models with vector output weights. Finally, we show the well-posedness and the stability with respect to discretization of the mean field training dynamic for sub-Gaussian initializations.

When Are Trade-Off Functions Testable from Finite Samples?

英文摘要

We study finite-sample inference for the trade-off function of two unknown probability distributions, the function that traces the optimal type I/type II error frontier in binary testing. Given samples from distributions $P$ and $Q$, we consider the problem of testing whether their trade-off function lies above a benchmark curve $f_0$ or falls below a weaker benchmark $f_1$. Without structural restrictions, this problem is impossible uniformly over nonparametric classes. We identify a sharp condition under which it becomes possible. The key structural assumption is that the Neyman--Pearson rejection regions for $(P,Q)$ are attainable, up to null sets, by a prescribed class $S$ of measurable sets. Within this exact attainability framework, finite Vapnik--Chervonenkis dimension of $S$ is both sufficient and necessary for nontrivial finite-sample testing. We construct a test with nonasymptotic error guarantees: type I error control is valid without assuming attainability, while power holds uniformly over attainable alternatives satisfying an explicit separation condition. By inverting the test, we also obtain simultaneous confidence bands for the whole trade-off curve. Finally, we study the sharpness and robustness of the procedure. In the monotone likelihood-ratio model, we derive local separation rates and prove matching lower bounds up to logarithmic factors. We also allow approximate, rather than exact, attainability; this extension yields finite-sample guarantees for univariate log-concave distributions by approximating their rejection regions with unions of intervals.

A solution to a strengthened conjecture of Bukh, van Hintum and Keevash on additive bases

Motivated by the change-of-domain problem for additive bases, Bukh, van Hintum and Keevash conjectured that if \(A,B\subseteq \mathbb{Q}^{n}\) and \(\{\boldsymbol{e}_i+\boldsymbol{e}_j:1\le i\le j\le n\}\subseteq A+B,\) then \(|A|+|B|\ge 2n\). They further proposed the strengthened conjecture: if \(|A|=n-t\), then \(|B|\ge n+\binom{t+1}{2}.\) Bukh also explicitly asked whether the same bounds hold for \(A,B\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n}\) and an arbitrary basis \(S\) of \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\), under the assumption \(S+S\subseteq A+B\). We prove the full strengthened statement over \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\): if \(S+S\subseteq A+B\) and \(|A|\le n-t\) with \(0\le t\le n-1\), then \(|B|\ge n+\binom{t+1}{2},\) which is sharp for every basis \(S\) and every \(0\le t\le n-1.\) The proof is short, using edge contractions in a graph-theoretical framework and a new coloring lemma over \(\mathbb F_2^n\).

Unitaria: Quantum Linear Algebra via Block Encodings

AI总结 本文介绍了一个名为 Unitaria 的 Python 库,旨在简化基于块编码的量子算法实现,使用户能够像使用 NumPy 和 SciPy 一样便捷地进行量子线性代数运算。该库提供了一种可组合的数组式接口,支持矩阵和向量的块编码定义、加减乘积、张量积等操作,并能自动生成对应的量子电路。其核心特点是无需辅助量子比特即可直接对编码后的矩阵进行算术运算,从而支持高效的正确性验证、经典模拟和资源估计,为当前量子线性代数算法的研究与分析提供了强大工具。

英文摘要

We introduce Unitaria, a Python library that brings the simplicity of classical linear algebra toolkits such as NumPy and SciPy to the implementation of quantum algorithms based on block encodings, a general-purpose abstraction in which a matrix is embedded as a sub-block of a larger unitary operator. Their implementation has so far required deep knowledge of low-level circuit construction, which Unitaria aims to eliminate. The library provides a composable, array-like interface through which users can define block encodings of matrices and vectors, combine them through standard operations such as addition, multiplication, tensor products, and the Quantum Singular Value Transformation, and extract the resulting quantum circuits automatically. A key feature is a matrix-arithmetic evaluation path in which every operation can be computed directly on encoded vectors and matrices without dependence on ancilla qubits or circuit simulation. This enables correctness verification and classical simulation that scale well beyond what state vector simulation permits and also allows resource estimation, including gate counts, qubit counts, and normalization constants, without executing any circuit. Together, these capabilities allow researchers to develop, verify, and analyze quantum linear algebra algorithms today, ahead of the availability of error-corrected hardware. Unitaria is open source and available at https://github.com/tequilahub/unitaria.

英文摘要

In our paper we extend some results of the theory of Fourier quasicrystals on the real line to a horizontal strip of finite width. For measures in a strip we use a natural generalization of the usual Fourier transform for measures on the line. We consider positive or translation bounded measures $μ$ on a strip whose Fourier transform is a pure point measure $\hatμ=\sum_{γ\inΓ}b_γδ_γ$ (as usual, $δ_γ$ is the unit mass at the point $γ$). We prove that the measure $ν=\sum_{γ\inΓ}|b_γ|^2δ_γ$ has the exponential growth. Moreover, if for some $η>0$ the points of $Γ$ in every interval of length $η$ are linearly independent over integers, then the measure $\hatμ$ also has the exponential growth.
