Broken Ergodicity and the Violation of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem Lead to Generalization Beyond Overfitting in Machine Learning
Chan Li, Nigel Goldenfeld
The remarkable ability of modern neural networks to generalize improves with increasing network capacity, even when the number of model parameters or effective degrees of freedom e…
Self-consistent expansion and field-theoretic renormalization group for a singular nonlinear diffusion equation with anomalous scaling
Minhui Zhu, Nigel Goldenfeld
The method of self-consistent expansions is a powerful tool for handling strong coupling problems that might otherwise be beyond the reach of perturbation theory, providing surpris…
There's Plenty of Room in the Middle: The Unsung Revolution of the Renormalization Group
Nigel Goldenfeld
The remarkable technical contributions of Michael E. Fisher to statistical physics and the development of the renormalization group are widely known and deeply influential. But les…
Frequency of surveillance testing necessary to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2
Ahmed Elbanna, Nigel Goldenfeld
We estimate the reduction in transmission of SARS-CoV-2 achievable by surveillance testing of a susceptible population at different frequencies, comparing the cases of both the ori…
Thermal noise competes with turbulent fluctuations below millimeter scales
Dmytro Bandak, Gregory L. Eyink, Alexei Mailybaev +1
Turbulent flows frequently accompany physical, chemical and biological processes, such as mixing, two-phase flow, combustion and even foraging by bacteria and plankton larvae, all…
Dissipation-Range Fluid Turbulence and Thermal Noise
Gregory Eyink, Dmytro Bandak, Nigel Goldenfeld +1
We revisit the issue of whether thermal fluctuations are relevant for incompressible fluid turbulence, and estimate the scale at which they become important. As anticipated by Betc…
