On semidefinite-representable sets over valued fields

Corentin Cornou, Simone Naldi, Tristan Vaccon

Polyhedra and spectrahedra over the real numbers, or more generally their images under linear maps, are respectively the feasible sets of linear and semidefinite programming, and form the family of semidefinite-representable sets. This paper studies analogues of these sets, as well as the associated optimization problems, when the data are taken over a valued field $K$. For $K$-polyhedra and linear programming over $K$ we present an algorithm based on the computation of Smith normal forms. We prove that fundamental properties of semidefinite-representable sets extend to the valued setting. In particular, we exhibit examples of non-polyhedral $K$-spectrahedra, as well as sets that are semidefinite-representable over $K$ but are not $K$-spectrahedra.

ZpL: a p-adic precision package

Xavier Caruso, David Roe, Tristan Vaccon

We present a new package ZpL for the mathematical software system SM. It implements a sharp tracking of precision on p-adic numbers, following the theory of ultrametric precision introduced in [4]. The underlying algorithms are mostly based on automatic dierentiation techniques. We introduce them, study their complexity and discuss our design choices. We illustrate the bene-ts of our package (in comparison with previous implementations) with a large sample of examples coming from linear algebra, com-mutative algebra and dierential equations.

Learning to Compute Gröbner Bases

Hiroshi Kera, Yuki Ishihara, Yuta Kambe et al.

Solving a polynomial system, or computing an associated Gröbner basis, has been a fundamental task in computational algebra. However, it is also known for its notorious doubly exponential time complexity in the number of variables in the worst case. This paper is the first to address the learning of Gröbner basis computation with Transformers. The training requires many pairs of a polynomial system and the associated Gröbner basis, raising two novel algebraic problems: random generation of Gröbner bases and transforming them into non-Gröbner ones, termed as backward Gröbner problem. We resolve these problems with 0-dimensional radical ideals, the ideals appearing in various applications. Further, we propose a hybrid input embedding to handle coefficient tokens with continuity bias and avoid the growth of the vocabulary set. The experiments show that our dataset generation method is a few orders of magnitude faster than a naive approach, overcoming a crucial challenge in learning to compute Gröbner bases, and Gröbner computation is learnable in a particular class.

Geometric Generality of Transformer-Based Gröbner Basis Computation

Yuta Kambe, Yota Maeda, Tristan Vaccon

The intersection of deep learning and symbolic mathematics has seen rapid progress in recent years, exemplified by the work of Lample and Charton. They demonstrated that effective training of machine learning models for solving mathematical problems critically depends on high-quality, domain-specific datasets. In this paper, we address the computation of Gröbner basis using Transformers. While a dataset generation method tailored to Transformer-based Gröbner basis computation has previously been proposed, it lacked theoretical guarantees regarding the generality or quality of the generated datasets. In this work, we prove that datasets generated by the previously proposed algorithm are sufficiently general, enabling one to ensure that Transformers can learn a sufficiently diverse range of Gröbner bases. Moreover, we propose an extended and generalized algorithm to systematically construct datasets of ideal generators, further enhancing the training effectiveness of Transformer. Our results provide a rigorous geometric foundation for Transformers to address a mathematical problem, which is an answer to Lample and Charton's idea of training on diverse or representative inputs.
