The adaptive perturbation method decomposes a Hamiltonian by the diagonal elements and non-diagonal elements of the Fock state. The diagonal elements of the Fock state are solvable but can contain the information about coupling constants. We study the harmonic oscillator with the interacting potential, $lambda_1x^4/6+lambda_2x^6/120$, where $lambda_1$ and $lambda_2$ are coupling constants, and $x$ is the position operator. In this study, each perturbed term has an exact solution. We demonstrate the accurate study of the spectrum and $langle x^2rangle$ up to the next leading-order correction. In particular, we study a similar problem of Higgs field from the inverted mass term to demonstrate the possible non-trivial application of particle physics.

The perturbation method is an approximation scheme with a solvable leading-order. The standard way is to choose a non-interacting sector for the leading order. The adaptive perturbation method improves the solvable part in bosonic systems by using all diagonal elements of the Fock state. We consider the harmonic oscillator with the interacting term, $lambda_1x^4/6+lambda_2x^6/120$, where $lambda_1$ and $lambda_2$ are coupling constants, and $x$ is the position operator. The spectrum shows a quantitative result, less than 1 percent error, compared to a numerical solution when we use the adaptive perturbation method up to the second-order and turn off the $lambda_2$. When we turn on the $lambda_2$, the deviation becomes larger, but the error is still less than 2 percent error. Our qualitative results are demonstrated in different values of coupling constants, not only focused on a weakly coupled region.
We present a new scheme for extracting approximate values in ``the improved perturbation method, which is a sort of resummation technique capable of evaluating a series outside the radius of convergence. We employ the distribution profile of the series that is weighted by nth-order derivatives with respect to the artificially introduced parameters. By those weightings the distribution becomes more sensitive to the ``plateau structure in which the consistency condition of the method is satisfied. The scheme works effectively even in such cases that the system involves many parameters. We also propose that this scheme has to be applied to each observables separately and be analyzed comprehensively. We apply this scheme to the analysis of the IIB matrix model by the improved perturbation method obtained up to eighth order of perturbation in the former works. We consider here the possibility of spontaneous breakdown of Lorentz symmetry, and evaluate the free energy and the anisotropy of space-time extent. In the present analysis, we find an SO(10)-symmetric vacuum besides the SO(4)- and SO(7)-symmetric vacua that have been observed. It is also found that there are two distinct SO(4)-symmetric vacua that have almost the same value of free energy but the extent of space-time is different. From the approximate values of free energy, we conclude that the SO(4)-symmetric vacua are most preferred among those three types of vacua.
We present an approach that extends the theory of targeted free energy perturbation (TFEP) to calculate free energy differences and free energy surfaces at an accurate quantum mechanical level of theory from a cheaper reference potential. The convergence is accelerated by a mapping function that increases the overlap between the target and the reference distributions. Building on recent work, we show that this map can be learned with a normalizing flow neural network, without requiring simulations with the expensive target potential but only a small number of single-point calculations, and, crucially, avoiding the systematic error that was found previously. We validate the method by numerically evaluating the free energy difference in a system with a double-well potential and by describing the free energy landscape of a simple chemical reaction in the gas phase.
Estimators computed from adaptively collected data do not behave like their non-adaptive brethren. Rather, the sequential dependence of the collection policy can lead to severe distributional biases that persist even in the infinite data limit. We develop a general method -- $mathbf{W}$-decorrelation -- for transforming the bias of adaptive linear regression estimators into variance. The method uses only coarse-grained information about the data collection policy and does not need access to propensity scores or exact knowledge of the policy. We bound the finite-sample bias and variance of the $mathbf{W}$-estimator and develop asymptotically correct confidence intervals based on a novel martingale central limit theorem. We then demonstrate the empirical benefits of the generic $mathbf{W}$-decorrelation procedure in two different adaptive data settings: the multi-armed bandit and the autoregressive time series.
We consider conformal field theories around points of large twist degeneracy. Examples of this are theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetry and perturbations around generalised free fields. At the degenerate point we introduce twist conformal blocks. These are eigenfunctions of certain quartic operators and encode the contribution, to a given four-point correlator, of the whole tower of intermediate operators with a given twist. As we perturb around the degenerate point, the twist degeneracy is lifted. In many situations this breaking is controlled by inverse powers of the spin. In such cases the twist conformal blocks can be decomposed into a sequence of functions which we systematically construct. Decomposing the four-point correlator in this basis turns crossing symmetry into an algebraic problem. Our method can be applied to a wide spectrum of conformal field theories in any number of dimensions and at any order in the breaking parameter. As an example, we compute the spectrum of various theories around generalised free fields. For theories with higher spin symmetry we discuss the relation between twist conformal blocks and higher spin conformal blocks.
