3 [Opening talk] Can A.I. understand Hamiltonian Mechanics?

In an era where Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an unprecedented pace across all fields, a fundamental question arises: Can AI truly understand physics? This presentation offers a partial answer by demonstrating AI's capability to comprehend Hamiltonian mechanics. We reformulated Hamilton's equations as an operator learning problem, developing a neural network that directly maps potential functions to their corresponding phase space trajectories. While mathematical constraints required us to limit our study to 1D bounded potentials with fixed initial conditions, we developed novel methodologies for generating suitable training data and proposed MambONet, a new network architecture specifically designed for this task. The trained network demonstrates genuine understanding of Hamiltonian mechanics by generating accurate time-dependent position and momentum functions from arbitrary potential inputs. Notably, our approach prevents error propagation, unlike traditional numerical methods where errors accumulate through iterations. When tested on physically significant potentials - including harmonic oscillators, double-well potentials, and Morse potentials - our method significantly outperformed conventional numerical approaches, suggesting that AI can indeed grasp fundamental physical principles.

8 Gravitational Waves from Flaton Fields in Thermal Inflation

We investigate the stochastic gravitational wave signatures produced during first-order phase transitions of flaton fields in thermal inflation. Thermal inflation, potentially occurring at energy scales ranging from supergravity-motivated scenarios (>10^9 GeV) to the electroweak scale, involves flaton fields characterized by large vacuum expectation values and nearly flat potentials. We analyze prototypical potential forms of these fields with two gauge group scenarios (U(1) and SU(2)) to explore how different particle content affects the gravitational wave spectrum. We identify parameter regions where these signals fall within the sensitivity range of future gravitational wave detectors, providing both a novel approach to probe thermal inflation models and specific predictions for the frequency spectrum and amplitude of the stochastic gravitational wave background produced in these scenarios.

Speaker: Ms Yeji Park (Yonsei Univ.)

The origin of glitch is usually thought to occur when superfluid vortices transfer to the outer crust by the catastrophic unpinning. In this study, I consider a physical microscopic model of this theory.

20 Runaway Potential with Inverse Non-minimal Coupling to Unify Inflation and Late-Time Acceleration

We considered a situation where a Ricci scalar R and the scalar field φ are inversely coupled each other by the term 1/2ξφ^{-n}R, where ξ denotes the strength of non-minimal coupling. This term is motivated to make Einstein-frame inflationary potential flat in a small limit of scalar field value, to guarantee high number of e-folds during inflation to cure limitations that a standard Big Bang itself cannot resolve. (e.g. flatness problem, horizon problem, etc.) On the other hand, the potential V (φ) = V0φ^{−n} is one of simplest models for explaining late-time acceleration due to runaway behavior at the large field limit, which in addition possesses attractor-like solution and well motivated by particle physics models. These two facts motivated us to study a model where a scalar field φ is inversely non-minimally coupled to the gravitational sector with aforementioned runaway potential, to explain both inflationary observations and late-time cosmic acceleration. As an inflationary stage, it is confirmed that choosing most of parameter sets (V0, ξ, n) enables us to satisfy inflationary constraints given by the latest observations from Planck-BICEP/Keck. Our setup can also explain late-time acceleration (especially showing behavior like cosmological constant in a neighborhood of current Universe (w ≃ −1) and is compatible with several constraints for successful Big Bang scenario for some suitable initial conditions. We especially discussed necessary theoretical criteria for choosing adequate initial conditions by the existence of Hubble drag, which plays a role to limit the velocity of a quintessence field during its evolution.

This study analyzes the reheating process and the uncertainties in determining the reheating temperature after the inflation. We examine whether the Gamow criterion gives a good estimate for the reheating temperature depending on models of reheating.

26 Monkey bias with velocity consistency relation

Density fluctuations of a tracer, such as galaxies, are represented by a bias model. In order to study gravity theories, we need to investigate the relations between the bias parameters. In our study, by using Monkey bias theory formulated in [arXiv:2003:10114] and giving the velocity consistency relation derived in [arXiv:1606.03708], we discuss the new relation between the bias parameters.

27 Orbifold Gauge Breaking in 5D and application to asymptotic GUTs

The use of extra dimensions can adress various problems of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. In all cases where gauge fields propagate in the bulk of the extra dimensions, a compactification based on an “orbifold” is required in order to consistently break the bulk gauge symmetry and ensure a chiral spectrum for the massless fermionic modes. We will study the various symmetry breaking patterns allowed by the orbifold in 5D apply those results to build consistent asymptotic Grand Unified Theories (aGUTs).
