Improving Energy Conserving Descent for Machine Learning: Theory and Practice
G. Bruno De Luca, Alice Gatti, Eva Silverstein
We develop the theory of Energy Conserving Descent (ECD) and introduce ECDSep, a gradient-based optimization algorithm able to tackle convex and non-convex optimization problems. T…
Microcanonical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
Jakob Robnik, G. Bruno De Luca, Eva Silverstein +1
We develop Microcanonical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (MCHMC), a class of models which follow a fixed energy Hamiltonian dynamics, in contrast to Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), which f…
Black hole to cosmic horizon microstates in string/M theory: timelike boundaries and internal averaging
Eva Silverstein
In this note, we resolve an apparent obstacle to string/M theory realizations of dS observer patch holography, finding a new role for averaging in quantum gravity. The solvable $T\…
TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes
Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35
We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…
Snowmass Theory Frontier: Astrophysics and Cosmology
Daniel Green, Joshua T. Ruderman, Benjamin R. Safdi +84
We summarize progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade. This Report is prepared as the TF09 "Astrophy…
Snowmass White Paper: Cosmology at the Theory Frontier
Raphael Flauger, Victor Gorbenko, Austin Joyce +3
The precision cosmological model describing the origin and expansion history of the universe, with observed structure seeded at the inflationary cosmic horizon, demands completion…
