Quantum Geometry insights in Deep Learning

In this paper, we explore the fundamental role of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation in deep learning, particularly in the context of Boltzmann machines and energy-based models. We first review the structure of Boltzmann learning and its relation to free energy minimization. We then establish a connection between optimal transport theory and deep learning, demonstrating how the Monge-Amp\`ere equation governs probability transformations in generative models. Additionally, we provide insights from quantum geometry, showing that the space of covariance matrices arising in the learning process coincides with the Connes-Araki-Haagerup (CAH) cone in von Neumann algebra theory. Furthermore, we introduce an alternative approach based on renormalization group (RG) flow, which, while distinct from the optimal transport perspective, reveals another manifestation of the Monge-Amp\`ere domain in learning dynamics. This dual perspective offers a deeper mathematical understanding of hierarchical feature learning, bridging concepts from statistical mechanics, quantum geometry, and deep learning theory.

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the fundamental role of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation in deep learning, particularly in the context of Boltzmann machines and energy-based models. We first review the structure of Boltzmann learning and its relation to free energy minimization. We then establish a connection between optimal transport theory and deep learning, demonstrating how the Monge-Amp\`ere equation governs probability transformations in generative models. Additionally, we provide insights from quantum geometry, showing that the space of covariance matrices arising in the learning process coincides with the Connes-Araki-Haagerup (CAH) cone in von Neumann algebra theory. Furthermore, we introduce an alternative approach based on renormalization group (RG) flow, which, while distinct from the optimal transport perspective, reveals another manifestation of the Monge-Amp\`ere domain in learning dynamics. This dual perspective offers a deeper mathematical understanding of hierarchical feature learning, bridging concepts from statistical mechanics, quantum geometry, and deep learning theory.
