Murmurations, Mestre--Nagao sums, and Convolutional Neural Networks for elliptic curves
We apply one-dimensional convolutional neural networks to the Frobenius traces of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and evaluate and interpret their predictive capacity. In keeping with similar experiments by Kazalicki--Vlah, Bujanović--Kazalicki--Novak, and Pozdnyakov, we observe high accuracy predictions for the analytic rank across a range of conductors. We interpret the prediction using saliency curves and explore the interesting interplay between murmurations and Mestre--Nagao sums, the details of which vary with the conductor and the (predicted) rank.

Transformers Learn the Mestre-Nagao Heuristic
We train a two-layer transformer encoder to classify rational elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $\leq 10000$ as either rank 0 or rank 1 from the first 128 normalized Frobenius traces. We achieve >99% accuracy o…
Murmurations of elliptic curves
We investigate the average value of the Frobenius trace at p over elliptic curves in a fixed conductor range with given rank. Plotting this average as p varies over the primes yields a striking oscillating pattern, the d…
Murmurations: a case study in AI-assisted mathematics
We report the emergence of a striking new phenomenon in arithmetic, which we call murmurations. First observed experimentally through averages over large arithmetic datasets, murmurations can be detected and analyzed usi…
A Bayesian Convolutional Neural Network for Robust Galaxy Ellipticity Regression
Cosmic shear estimation is an essential scientific goal for large galaxy surveys. It refers to the coherent distortion of distant galaxy images due to weak gravitational lensing along the line of sight. It can be used as…
