Koopman Q-learning: Offline Reinforcement Learning via Symmetries of Dynamics

Matthias Weissenbacher, Samarth Sinha, Animesh Garg +1

Offline reinforcement learning leverages large datasets to train policies without interactions with the environment. The learned policies may then be deployed in real-world setting…

A Quadratic Actor Network for Model-Free Reinforcement Learning

Matthias Weissenbacher, Yoshinobu Kawahara

In this work we discuss the incorporation of quadratic neurons into policy networks in the context of model-free actor-critic reinforcement learning. Quadratic neurons admit an exp…

One-modulus Calabi-Yau fourfold reductions with higher-derivative terms

Thomas W. Grimm, Kilian Mayer, Matthias Weissenbacher

In this note we consider M-theory compactified on a warped Calabi-Yau fourfold including the eight-derivative terms in the eleven-dimensional action known in the literature. We dim…

Higher derivatives in Type II and M-theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds

Thomas W. Grimm, Kilian Mayer, Matthias Weissenbacher

The four- and five-dimensional effective actions of Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications are derived with a focus on terms involving up to four space-time derivatives. The starti…

The Euler characteristic correction to the Kaehler potential - revisited

Federico Bonetti, Matthias Weissenbacher

We confirm the leading correction to the 4d, Kähler potential of type IIB orientifold compactifications, proportional to the Euler characteristic of the Cal…
