Learning Topological Features of $\widehat Z$-invariants

- 基于$\widehat Z$-不变量系数训练神经网络,识别拓扑结构。
- 发现$\widehat Z$指数与$ d $-不变量有高精度预测关系。
- 方法注重可解释性,适合对量子不变量感兴趣的拓扑学家。
机器学习和数据分析技术已成为低维拓扑研究中识别模式与提出猜想的强大工具。本文首次系统性地处理结构为截断无穷$q$-级数(或等价的整数无穷级数)的数学数据。为此,我们构建了针对梳状3-流形的$\widehat{Z}$-不变量(同调块)的综合数据集。结果表明,神经网络能可靠地从$q$-级数系数中提取关键拓扑信息,如同调类和底层图结构。方法的核心在于可解释性:通过对比局部梯度敏感性与全局特征重要性,发现网络倾向于绕过复杂的拓扑规则,转而依赖特定的谱和几何代理。最后,我们将该流程应用于同调挠化问题,发现$\widehat{Z}$-不变量指数与海格弗尔$ d $-不变量(校正项)之间存在高精度预测关系。这些结果表明,$\widehat{Z}$-不变量捕捉到了关于挠化等价的微妙几何信息,开启了研究量子不变量的新方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Machine learning and data analysis techniques have recently emerged as powerful tools for identifying patterns and formulating conjectures in mathematical research, most notably in the field of low-dimensional topology. In this paper, we initiate a systematic approach to handling mathematical data structured as (truncated) infinite $q$-series, or equivalently, infinite series of integers. To apply this data analysis pipeline, we construct a comprehensive dataset of $\widehat{Z}$-invariants (homological blocks) for plumbed 3-manifolds. We demonstrate that neural networks can reliably extract essential topological information, such as homology class and underlying graph structure, directly from the $q$-series coefficients. A central feature of our methodology is a focus on interpretability; by contrasting local gradient sensitivity with global feature relevance, we reveal that the networks learn to bypass complex topological rules in favor of specific spectral and geometric proxies. Finally, we apply this pipeline to probe homology cobordism, discovering a high-accuracy predictive relationship between the $\widehat{Z}$-invariant exponents and the Heegaard Floer $d$-invariant (correction term). These results suggest that $\widehat{Z}$-invariants capture subtle geometric information regarding cobordism equivalences, warranting a new direction for the study of quantum invariants.
