Interpretable Analytic Calabi-Yau Metrics via Symbolic Distillation

arXiv:2602.07834v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The pointwise determinant ratio \[ R_\psi(z)\equiv \log\!\left(\frac{\det g_{\mathrm{RF}}(z;\psi)}{\det g_{\mathrm{FS}}(z)}\right) \] measures how the Ricci-flat metric on the Dwork quintic departs from the Fubini--Study baseline. We ask whether this scalar observable can be described compactly in terms of a small number of projective invariants, and whether the same scaffold remains usable across complex-structure moduli. Using Donaldson's $k=10$ balanced metric as an algebraic teacher and symbolic regression on sampled points, we find that,

    AI methods, specifically symbolic regression, demonstrate increasing capability in complex mathematical problem-solving.

    Second

    This could lead to accelerated discovery of fundamental laws or properties in physics and mathematics, previously intractable for human analysis alone.

    Third

    Enhanced understanding of fundamental geometries could eventually inform real-world applications in fields like materials science or quantum computing, though very indirectly.
