Reconstructing spectral functions from propagator data is difficult as solving the analytic continuation problem or applying an inverse integral transformation are ill-conditioned problems. Recent work has proposed using neural networks to solve this problem and has shown promising results, either matching or improving upon the performance of other methods. We generalize this approach by not only reconstructing spectral functions, but also (possible) pairs of complex poles or an infrared (IR) cutoff. We train our network on physically motivated toy functions, examine the reconstruction accuracy and check its robustness to noise. Encouraging results are found on both toy functions and genuine lattice QCD data for the gluon propagator, suggesting that this approach may lead to significant improvements over current state-of-the-art methods.

  1. Operator Learning in Lattice QCD: Spectral Reconstruction

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    DeepONet ensembles trained on GP mock data reconstruct O(3) smeared spectral densities from lattice correlators with lower total uncertainty than HLT, consistent with the analytic result.

  2. The setting sun diagram with complex external momenta

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Direct evaluation of the d=2 setting sun diagram with a priori complex external momenta disagrees with the Kallen-Lehmann spectral continuation, so complex momenta should be inserted only after performing the integral.
