Deep learning Gauss-Manin connections

Abstract: The Gauss-Manin connection of a family of hypersurfaces governs the change of the period matrix along the family. This connection can be complicated even when the equations defining the family look simple. When this is the case, it is computationally expensive to compute the period matrices of varieties in the family via homotopy continuation. We train neural networks that can quickly and reliably guess the complexity of the Gauss-Manin connection of a pencil of hypersurfaces. As an application, we compute the periods of 96% of smooth quartic surfaces in projective 3-space whose defining equation is a sum of five monomials; from the periods of these quartic surfaces, we extract their Picard numbers and the endomorphism fields of their transcendental lattices.
There has been much activity in the last few years on machine-learning applied to understanding pure mathematics, in order to formulate new conjectures, verify formulae and speed up computations. The current paper is very interesting: it applies a deep neural networks to the computation of Gauss-Manin connections, exemplified by families of hypersurfaces as algebraic varieties. The methods are novel and it demonstrates a significant speed-up in the usually difficult computation of connections on manifolds. It shows that there must be some underlying pattern in connections on which the neural network is picking up.
