Holographic flavour and neural networks

Abstract: A bstract In holography, flavour probe branes are used to introduce fundamental matter to the AdS/CFT correspondence. At a technical level, the probes are described by extremizing the DBI action and solving the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion. I report on applications of artificial neural networks that allow direct minimization of the regularized DBI action (interpreted as a free energy) without the need to derive and solve the equations of motion. I consider, as examples, magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking and the meson melting phase transition in the D3/D7 holographic set-up. Finally, I provide a framework which allows the simultaneous learning of the embeddings and the relevant aspects of the dual geometry based on field theory data.
