Isotropic Fourier Neural Operators

Fourier Neural Operators are deep learning models that learn mappings between function spaces and can be used to learn and solve partial differential equations (PDEs), in some cases significantly faster than traditional PDE solvers. Within the model are Fourier layers, which apply linear transformations directly to the Fourier modes, with parameters depending on the wave numbers. However, most physical systems are isotropic, with the results being independent of the coordinate system chosen, but the linear transformations do not necessarily respect these symmetries. We propose a modification to the linear transformations that ensures spatial symmetries are respected, called the Isotropic Fourier Neural Operator, which both improves model performance and reduces the number of parameters by up to a factor of 16 in 2D and 96 in 3D.

Anomalous elasticity of cellular tissue vertex model

Vertex Models, as used to describe cellular tissue, have an energy controlled by deviations of each cell area and perimeter from target values. The constrained nonlinear relation between area and perimeter leads to new mechanical response. Here we provide a mean-field treatment of a highly simplified model: a uniform network of regular polygons with no topological rearrangements. Since all polygons deform in the same way, we only need to analyze the ground states and the response to deformations of a single polygon (cell). The model exhibits the known transition between a fluid/compatible state, where the cell can accommodate both target area and perimeter, and a rigid/incompatible state. %The rigid solid-like state has a single gapped ground state. We calculate and measure the mechanical resistance to various deformation protocols and discover that at the onset of rigidity, where a single zero-energy ground-state exists, %We show that in the incompatible state, where a single frustrated ground-state exists, linear elasticity fails to describe the mechanical response to even infinitesimal deformations. In particular we identify a breakdown of reciprocity expressed via different moduli for compressive and tensile loads, implying non-analyticity of the energy functional. We give a pictorial representation in configuration space that reveals that the complex elastic response of the Vertex Model arises from the presence of two distinct sets of reference states (associated with target area and target perimeter).
