ax-2605.05076-e89f0364 2.5 Further open directions: • Gaps at the level of constants. Most existing work characterizes computational-statistical gaps in terms of rates. However, for problems such as estimating a rank-1 spike in a Gaussian matrix, the gap between information-theoretically optimal and computationally efficient methods manifests at the level of sharp constants—specifically, the precise SNR threshold. It is widely believed that approximate message passing (AMP) algorithms achieve the optimal SNR threshold among efficient methods, but rigorous evidence remains limited: current low-degree lower bounds only rule out constant-degree polynomials rather than the logarithmic-degree polynomials that would provide stronger evidence. Understanding when AMP is optimal among efficient procedures, and extending constant-level gap analyses more broadly, is an important open direction. See for recent progress in this direction. mathematics / math.ST enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (prose (list items and question sentences under an open-problems heading)): High-Dimensional Statistics: Reflections on Progress and Open Problems https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.05076   open   ts-synth needs-theory 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2605.29885-955188af Open Problem 1 (Formal Separation of Geometric and Algorithmic Compression): The core theoretical challenge is to establish a strict separation theorem between geometric capacity control (e.g., norm-based regularization, Rademacher complexity, margin bounds) and algorithmic compression. Can we formally characterize the hypothesis classes—such as discrete algebraic rules or formal languages—where all purely geometric generalization bounds are provably vacuous (requiring exponential sample complexity), yet differentiable algorithmic complexity measures yield tight, polynomial guarantees? Mapping the exact territories where geometric surrogates fundamentally fail, and where only algorithmic compression succeeds, remains a critical missing foundation in SLT. computer science / cs.LG enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Open Problem: Separating Geometric and Algorithmic Compression via Cayley-Table Completion https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.29885   open   ts-synth compute-checkable-small-cases 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2605.29885-9bb5e691 Open Problem 2 (Sample Complexity of the Canonical Testbed): Cayley-table completion serves as the immediate, concrete testbed for establishing this separation. Because finite groups are linearly full-rank ( $r=n$ ), applying standard matrix completion theory yields vacuous bounds exceeding $\mathcal{O}(n^{2})$ . Can we formally establish an exact recovery guarantee showing that the global minimizer of the flatness-regularized empirical loss perfectly completes the group table with high probability given only $\mathcal{O}(n\log n)$ uniformly sampled entries? Solving this would provide the first rigorous mathematical proof of the separation demanded in Open Problem 1. computer science / cs.LG enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Open Problem: Separating Geometric and Algorithmic Compression via Cayley-Table Completion https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.29885   open   ts-synth compute-checkable-small-cases 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z

ax-2606.07327-2d7f8aee What is the minimal definition of an atomistic foundation model? (Classical force fields are powerful but inherently specialized, generally requiring substantial domain expertise, hand-crafted functional forms, and parameterization to tailor them to specific chemistries or thermodynamic conditions. This bespoke nature makes them effective for targeted tasks but fundamentally unscalable. Foundation MLIPs, in contrast, aspire to transcend this fragmentation.

ax-2606.07327-40367028 Do we need more data, better data, or better models? (A central tension in the development of MLIPs echoes a long-standing debate in AI: should progress come primarily from carefully designed inductive biases or from scaling models and data?

ax-2606.07327-558bc342 Why do models fail to capture long-range interactions? (Message Passing Neural Networks (MPNNs), one of the most widely used architectures for MLIPs, exhibit a local inductive bias , as message aggregation for each node is typically limited to its neighbourhood. This locality reflects the assumption that short-range interactions (up to a large enough receptive field) govern the physics, while taking into account the limitations due to computing costs:…) condensed matter physics / cond-mat.mtrl-sci enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (section headings phrased as questions): Six Open Questions in Machine-Learned Interatomic Potential Foundation Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.07327   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2606.07327-9b80a7a3 Can MLIPs discover truly new physics?

ax-2606.07327-b8f89180 What are long-range interactions? (From the above discussion, it is clear that the inclusion of long-range interactions is needed to describe the physics of many systems.

ax-2606.07327-c52467f0 What needs to happen for atomistic foundational models to discover new physics? (MLIP frameworks today learn well within known chemistry and physics, but struggle outside training distributions, largely because they provide approximate representations of the underlying bonding physics in molecular systems by interpolating within the range of the training data . This means that MLIP approaches are often poorly equipped to capture rare events or phenomena that occur under…) condensed matter physics / cond-mat.mtrl-sci enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (section headings phrased as questions): Six Open Questions in Machine-Learned Interatomic Potential Foundation Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.07327   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2606.07327-e19bc0ac Can MLIPs scale to do more useful simulations? (In the context of MLIPs, scalability may refer to the ability to handle larger atomistic systems, longer simulation timescales, larger and more expressive models, or higher-throughput ensemble simulations.

ax-2606.07327-ed49aa87 Can MLIPs really handle long-range interactions, and does it matter? (As discussed previously, one approach to generating better models is to include long-range interactions.

In particular, we need to explore (a) is $\min_{j}u_{j}\geq\nu_{n}$ on the whole orbit (so that no DOF can be squeezed below the smallest symplectic eigenvalue)? (b) in the equipartitioned case $\nu_{j}\equiv\nu$ , is $u_{j}\geq\nu$ for every $j$ (the per-DOF form of the conjecture in )? And (c) describe $\mathcal{U}(\nu)$ by majorization-type inequalities, in analogy with the Schur–Horn theorem, using the symplectic eigenvalue technology of . Some partial cues include (i) $\prod_{j}u_{j}\geq\prod_{j}\nu_{j}$ (Theorem 3.16 ); (ii) $u_{j}\geq\nu_{n}$ would follow from the interlacing-type bound “every $2\times 2$ symplectic compression of $\Sigma$ has symplectic eigenvalue $\geq\nu_{n}$ ,” a statement of exactly the kind studied in ; and (iii) for $n=1$ , $\mathcal{U}(\nu)=\{\nu\}$ (Theorem 3.16 ). mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2607.07851-22b95231 Problem 3.19 (Nonlinear invariant interpolating entropy and capacity): Construct a functional $\mathcal{C}[\rho]$ of states on $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ such that: (i) $\mathcal{C}$ is invariant under all (possibly nonlinear) Hamiltonian flows; (ii) $\mathcal{C}$ reduces to $\pi\nu_{n}$ on Gaussian states; (iii) $\mathcal{C}$ lower-bounds $2\pi\min_{j}u_{j}$ up to a universal constant; and (iv) $\mathcal{C}$ is expressible through the kime-torus data of Problem 3.18 (hence estimable). Consider the following candidate functional, a sublevel-set capacity of $\rho$ at the entropy-calibrated level $e^{-\mathsf{S}[\rho]}$ , i.e., $\mathcal{C}[\rho]=c\bigl(\{\rho\geq e^{-\mathsf{S}[\rho]}\}\bigr)$ for a normalized symplectic capacity $c$ . Properties (i) and (ii) then hold by symplectomorphism-invariance of $c$ and a direct Gaussian computation, while (iii)–(iv) are open. mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2607.07851-51bcfa22 Problem 4.9 (Entropy-only rigidity): Theorem 4.1 assumed entropy invariance for all states. Determine the minimal state classes $\mathcal{F}$ for which “ $\mathsf{S}[f_{*}\rho]=\mathsf{S}[\rho]$ for all $\rho\in\mathcal{F}$ ” still forces $J_{f}\equiv 1$ (e.g., Gaussians only; kime states with von Mises phase laws only), and, dually, characterize the group of transformations preserving the entropy of every equilibrium (phase-equipartitioned) kime state. The latter group is strictly larger than the measure-preserving group (it contains all fiberwise rotations $\theta\mapsto\theta+c(J)$ trivially, but also non-measure-preserving maps acting only on null sets of equilibria); its computation quantifies exactly how much of the symplectic structure is visible to equilibrium thermodynamics alone. mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
ax-2607.07851-7e63782b Problem 4.10 (Generalized complex rigidity of the Wick interpolation): Proposition 4.5 produces a Kähler triple in one kime DOF; Proposition 4.6 deforms the dynamics between its symplectic and metric legs. Formulate and prove (or refute) the following rigidity statement: if a $2n$ -dimensional state continuum carries (a) a reparametrization-invariant entropy (hence, by Theorems 4.1 and 4.3 , a distinguished volume), (b) a one-parameter interpolation of evolutions that is entropy-conserving at one end and satisfies a de Bruijn identity $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\mathsf{S}=\varepsilon\,\mathcal{I}\geq 0$ elsewhere (Theorem 3.21 (ii)), then the infinitesimal generators assemble into a generalized complex (indeed generalized Kähler) structure in the sense of , whose pure-symplectic locus is the Hamiltonian sector and whose type jumps encode the diffusive sector. A positive answer would derive “quantities pair inside $\mathbb{C}$ ” from entropy axioms alone, completing the program of Problem (II). mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z

Identify the extremal family (conjecturally: relativistic Gaussian in $(x,p)$ $\otimes$ von Mises–Fisher in the direction, coupled only through the Tulczyjew constraint) and the role of the two Casimirs as the invariant scales, with $W\cdot W=-m^{2}c^{2}s^{2}$ playing the part of $\prod_{j}\nu_{j}$ in Theorem 3.16 . mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z

ax-2607.07851-b83ce5f3 Problem 5.9 (Kime action–angle atlas on $\mathcal{O}_{m,s}$ ): Construct an atlas of Darboux charts on $\mathcal{O}_{m,s}$ adapted to the kime fibration, i.e., charts of the form $(x^{i},p_{i};\varphi,S_{z}^{\prime})$ in which the directional factor is the kime cylinder of Lemma 5.2 for the little-group sphere, and quantify the obstruction to a single global chart. The fiber $\mathbb{S}^{2}_{s}$ has $\int_{\mathbb{S}^{2}_{s}}\omega_{s}=4\pi s\neq 0$ , so no global Darboux chart exists, and the minimal atlas is governed by the class $[\omega_{s}]/2\pi\hbar$ , which is integral iff $2s/\hbar\in\mathbb{Z}$ (Weil integrality; ). Make precise, within Assumption 1.1 , the resulting statement that a consistent single-valued kime phase law on the directional fiber exists iff the spin is (half-)integer in units of $\hbar$ , the sharpest available classical bridge to spin- $\tfrac{1}{2}$ , and the direct analogue for Problem (III) of the $2\pi$ -holonomy correction anticipated in Problem 3.12 . mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z

A proof would characterize $\operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ purely by an estimable statistical invariant (symplectic spectra of covariance matrices), replacing the geometric definition by an information-theoretic one, the sharpest available answer to Problem (II)’s request for an entropy-first derivation of the symplectic structure. mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z

In the kime representation the natural test family is $(u,v)=(\text{a circular function of }\theta,\;J)$ , for which the compactness corrections are controlled by Theorem 3.7 . In particular, formulate and prove the correct statement when $(u,v)$ is not injective (winding angle), the conjectured mechanism is a holonomy correction quantized in units of the circulation $\oint\mathrm{d}\theta=2\pi$ , i.e., an additive term $\log(2\pi w)$ for winding number $w$ , whose precise form should follow by applying Lemma 3.10 on a fundamental domain and Lemma 3.4 on the quotient. mathematical physics / math-ph enumerated in arXiv paper titled 'open problems' (formal problem environment): Kime-Representation Formulations of Three Open Problems in the Foundations of Classical Mechanics: Uncertainty, Invarian https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.07851   open   ts-synth unclassified 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z 2026-09-02T17:57:21Z
