From Polynomials to Databases: Arithmetic Structures in Galois Theory

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We develop a computational framework for classifying Galois groups of irreducible degree-7 polynomials over~$\mathbb{Q}$, combining explicit resolvent methods with machine learning techniques. A database of over one million normalized projective septics is constructed, each annotated with algebraic invariants~$J_0, \dots, J_4$ derived from binary transvections. For each polynomial, we compute resolvent factorizations to determine its Galois group among the seven transitive subgroups of~$S_7$ identified by Foulkes. Using this dataset, we train a neurosymbolic classifier that integrates invariant-theoretic features with supervised learning, yielding improved accuracy in detecting rare solvable groups compared to coefficient-based models. The resulting database provides a reproducible resource for constructive Galois theory and supports empirical investigations into group distribution under height constraints. The methodology extends to higher-degree cases and illustrates the utility of hybrid symbolic-numeric techniques in computational algebra.


If you can distinguish, you can express: Galois theory, Stone--Weierstrass, machine learning, and linguistics

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This essay develops a parallel between the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory and the Stone--Weierstrass theorem: both can be viewed as assertions that tie the distinguishing power of a class of objects to their expressive power. We provide an elementary theorem connecting the relevant notions of "distinguishing power". We also discuss machine learning and data science contexts in which these theorems, and more generally the theme of links between distinguishing power and expressive power, appear. Finally, we discuss the same theme in the context of linguistics, where it appears as a foundational principle, and illustrate it with several examples.


Neuro-Symbolic Learning for Galois Groups: Unveiling Probabilistic Trends in Polynomials

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents a neurosymbolic approach to classifying Galois groups of polynomials, integrating classical Galois theory with machine learning to address challenges in algebraic computation. By combining neural networks with symbolic reasoning we develop a model that outperforms purely numerical methods in accuracy and interpretability. Focusing on sextic polynomials with height $\leq 6$, we analyze a database of 53,972 irreducible examples, uncovering novel distributional trends, such as the 20 sextic polynomials with Galois group $C_6$ spanning just seven invariant-defined equivalence classes. These findings offer the first empirical insights into Galois group probabilities under height constraints and lay the groundwork for exploring solvability by radicals. Demonstrating AI's potential to reveal patterns beyond traditional symbolic techniques, this work paves the way for future research in computational algebra, with implications for probabilistic conjectures and higher degree classifications.


Galois groups of polynomials and neurosymbolic networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This project embarks on a journey to merge the abstract realm of Galois theory with the practical capabilities of machine learning This paper introduces a novel approach to understanding Galois (ML). Our goal is to harness ML's pattern recognition and prediction theory, one of the foundational areas of algebra, through the lens of abilities to address some of the most challenging aspects of Galois machine learning. By analyzing polynomial equations with machine theory, potentially revolutionizing our understanding and approach learning techniques, we aim to streamline the process of determining to polynomial solvability and related problems.


Absence of Closed-Form Descriptions for Gradient Flow in Two-Layer Narrow Networks

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In the field of machine learning, comprehending the intricate training dynamics of neural networks poses a significant challenge. This paper explores the training dynamics of neural networks, particularly whether these dynamics can be expressed in a general closed-form solution. We demonstrate that the dynamics of the gradient flow in two-layer narrow networks is not an integrable system. Integrable systems are characterized by trajectories confined to submanifolds defined by level sets of first integrals (invariants), facilitating predictable and reducible dynamics. In contrast, non-integrable systems exhibit complex behaviors that are difficult to predict. To establish the non-integrability, we employ differential Galois theory, which focuses on the solvability of linear differential equations. We demonstrate that under mild conditions, the identity component of the differential Galois group of the variational equations of the gradient flow is non-solvable. This result confirms the system's non-integrability and implies that the training dynamics cannot be represented by Liouvillian functions, precluding a closed-form solution for describing these dynamics. Our findings highlight the necessity of employing numerical methods to tackle optimization problems within neural networks. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of neural network training dynamics and their implications for machine learning optimization strategies.
