Hamiltonian formulation of the 1+11+1-dimensional ϕ4ϕ^4 theory in a momentum-space Daubechies wavelet basis

This paper applies a momentum-space Daubechies wavelet basis within the Hamiltonian framework to investigate nonperturbative dynamics in 1+11+1-dimensional ϕ4\phi^4 theory, successfully reproducing the strong-coupling phase transition and demonstrating systematic convergence of the critical coupling as momentum resolution increases.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Solving Two-Flavor Neutrino Oscillations in Vacuum and Matter Environments for Atmospheric and Reactor Neutrinos

This paper demonstrates that Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) can accurately solve the differential equations governing two-flavor neutrino oscillations in both vacuum and matter environments, offering a high-precision, mesh-free alternative to traditional numerical solvers for reactor and atmospheric neutrino studies. Under the heading 'Two Different Worlds: Reactors vs. The Atmosphere', the study clarifies that for atmospheric neutrinos passing through the earth, it assumes a constant earth core density of 13 gm/cm^3 throughout the neutrino traversing regime, rather than accounting for the complete earth profile with variable matter density.

Passage of particles through matter and the effective straggling-function: High-fidelity accelerated simulation via Physics-Informed Machine Learning

The paper introduces PHIN-GAN, a physics-informed generative adversarial network that utilizes analytical probability density functions of the Landau straggling function to provide high-fidelity, scalable, and computationally efficient simulations of particle-matter interactions compared to traditional methods like GEANT4.
