Conformal Fields from Neural Networks
ORAL
Abstract
We construct conformal fields in D dimensions by restricting Lorentz-invariant ensembles of homogeneous neural networks in (D + 2) dimensions to the projective null cone. Conformal correlators may be computed using the parameter space description of the neural network. Exact four-point correlators are computed in a number of examples, and we perform a 4D conformal block decomposition. In some examples, the analysis is facilitated by recent approaches to Feynman integrals. Generalized free CFTs are constructed using the infinite-width Gaussian process limit of the neural network, enabling the realization of the free boson. The extension to deep networks constructs conformal fields at each subsequent layer, with recursion relations relating their conformal dimensions and four-point functions.
