Abstract

We develop and implement a positive tensor-network parameterization for computing Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It replaces the large Hermitian coefficient matrix of a high-degree algebraic metric by a matrix-product factorization. For the immersed source spaces used here, the resulting metric is globally positive for every parameter value and, at fixed local and bond dimensions, its number of parameters grows only linearly with the algebraic degree. We test the construction on three generalized complete-intersection Calabi-Yau (gCICY) threefolds, constructing chart by chart the generalized sections, holomorphic volume forms and sampling measures that define and train the metric there. From a common low-degree metric, the tensor network outperforms a parameter-matched neural potential using the same section data, reducing both bulk errors and the one-percent tail conditional mean in every paired run. It also reaches a substantially lower error than direct optimization of an unrestricted Hermitian metric of the same degree from the same start, with both methods optimized to validation convergence under their respective schedules. On a second geometry, a higher-degree network with fewer parameters than a lower-degree unrestricted Hermitian baseline substantially reduces the same-sample errors. We further observe saturation within the tested calculations: at fixed bond dimension, increasing the degree eventually plateaus; increasing the bond dimension at fixed optimization effort gives no resolved gain; and the outcome depends strongly on initialization and optimization path.

LDP for Tensor Forms

In this paper, we study the large deviation principle (LDP) for a tensor-weighted functional of i.i.d. random variables, when the sequence of tensors converges under a variant of the"bad"cut norm. Using the LDP, we analyze a Gibbs measure with a tensor-valued Hamiltonian, and characterize the optimizers of the limiting variational problem in terms of a functional fixed point equation. As applications, we focus on several concrete examples, which include monochromatic subgraph counts in sparse random graphs, Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi hypergraphs, and a generalized Potts statistic of order $v\ge 2$. Studying the optimization problem, we give sufficient conditions for uniqueness of the optimizer, as well as for existence of constant optimizers (replica symmetry). Our results demonstrate universal weak laws for a large class of tensor Gibbs models with approximately regular tensors.

The Global Topology of Orthogonally Decomposable Tensor Landscapes

The homogeneous form associated with a symmetric tensor, restricted to the sphere, is the objective of the best rank-one approximation problem and, with random coefficients, the energy of a mean-field spin glass. Its critical points have been studied extensively, but the global organization of the landscape they form is far less understood. We study this global structure for positive orthogonally decomposable tensors. We determine the persistent homology of the sublevel and superlevel filtrations in closed form, for every homological dimension $q$, every ambient dimension $D$ and every tensor order $k$, via a recurrence in the ambient dimension. Taking the coefficients to be random, we further prove laws of large numbers for the resulting persistence diagrams at dimension $0$ and $D-2$, giving an exact description of the typical global topology of a spin-glass-like energy landscape. We illustrate our results with numerical computations and simulations.

Equivariant Covariance Tensors: Guaranteed SPD Uncertainty for Tensor-Valued Geometric Learning

A framework for E(3)-equivariant UQ is introduced, modeling the full predictive distribution where both mean and covariance preserve rotational symmetry, and a Log-Euclidean Equivariant Scoring Objective (LE-ESO) is formulated, a robust surrogate loss based on the Multivariate Laplace distribution providing robustness to heavy-tailed errors and stable optimization.

K\"ahler landscapes for complex neural network descents and guarantees including a search and destroy of the Calabi-Yau manifold

We study landscapes for complex-parameterized networks. Our approach is motivated with an information-theoretic manifold perspective of the parameter and via classical optimization guarantees although of complex geometric variety such as through Dolbeault asymptotics. The descent path admits a K\"ahler information metric under a cross-entropy via the Wirtinger Hessian on the log-likelihood potential. We restrict attention to a descent update rule with natural gradient descent via a differentiated loss scaled by the inverse metric, so the descent path remains in the holomorphic tangent bundle. We emphasize Calabi-Yau information manifolds which profane theoretical guarantees via an ill-curvature-conditioned landscape. Under a Calabi-Yau metric, specifically in a non-compact setting with a global potential so defined geometrically rather than invoking the topological requirements of the Calabi conjecture, a wedged nowhere-vanishing holomorphic form is the top exterior product of the K\"ahler form up to constants, yielding a constant determinant condition with respect to a background metric and ill-conditioned eigenvalues under nonuniform and almost low-rank assumptions. Moreover, it has been discovered that negative curvature subverts the loss landscape, specifically sectional curvature, so we expand on this and draw interconnections to negative-definite Ricci curvature. Our arguments primarily exist in a geometric analytic modality, although we establish roots in deep learning theory such as through asymptotics at initialization and connections through failure modes of neural network guarantees under vanishing and negative Ricci curvature.

Connecting Riemannian Geometry and Statistical Inference for Correlation Matrices

The quotient-affine metric gives an intrinsic Riemannian geometry to full-rank correlation matrices, but its geodesic distance has no closed form and we are not aware of an analytic asymptotic null distribution for it. We connect this geometry, introduced in 2019, with Jennrich's 1970 asymptotic test for equality of correlation matrices. The quadratic form underlying Jennrich's statistic is exactly one half of the quotient-affine metric tensor. The identity arises because eliminating marginal standard deviations from Gaussian Fisher information performs the same projection as quotienting out diagonal rescalings. Jennrich's statistic therefore evaluates the local quotient-affine quadratic form directly. Moreover, for two independent Gaussian samples with a common population correlation matrix, the squared geodesic distance, scaled by effective sample size, converges in distribution to $4\chi^2_d$, where $d = p(p-1)/2$. For $p=2$, the result reduces to the two-sample Fisher $z$ test.
