Large-scale structures in the ΛCDM Universe: network analysis and machine learning

Abstract

We perform an analysis of the Cosmic Web as a complex network, which is built on a ΛCDM cosmological simulation. For each of nodes, which are in this case dark matter halos formed in the simulation, we compute 10 network metrics, which characterize the role and position of a node in the network. The relation of these metrics to topological affiliation of the halo, i.e. to the type of large scale structure, which it belongs to, is then investigated. In particular, the correlation coefficients between network metrics and topology classes are computed. We have applied different machine learning methods to test the predictive power of obtained network metrics and to check if one could use network analysis as a tool for establishing topology of the large scale structure of the Universe. Results of such predictions, combined in the confusion matrix, show that it is not possible to give a good prediction of the topology of Cosmic Web (score is ≈ 70 % in average) based only on coordinates and velocities of nodes (halos), yet network metrics can give a hint about the topological landscape of matter distribution.

Artificial Neural Networks for Galaxy Clustering. Learning from the two-point correlation function of BOSS galaxies

“…In fact, these techniques have already been exploited for the analysis of the large-scale structure of the Universe (see e.g. Aragon-Calvo 2019;Tsizh et al 2020). In some cases, machine learning models have been trained and tested on simulated mock catalogues to obtain as output the cosmological parameters those simulations had been constructed with (e.g.…”

Periodicity Detection in Agn With the Boosted Tree Method

“…Motivated by the successful performance of XGBoost (Chen & Guestrin 2016) in International Challenges on Machine Learning (Xu 2018), and animated by the many different kinds of results presented by Pashchenko et al (2017), Smirnov & Markov (2017), Bethapudi & Desai (2018), Abay et al (2018), van Roestel et al (2018), Saha et al (2018), Lam & Kipping (2018), Shu et al (2019), Liu et al (2019), Askar et al (2019), Calderon & Berlind (2019), Chong & Yang (2019), Jin et al (2019), Menou (2019), Plavin et al (2019), Wang et al (2019), Yi et al (2019), , Lin et al (2020), Hinkel et al (2020), Tamayo et al (2020) and Tsizh et al (2020), we decided to test how this kind of algorithm would perform specific tasks related to the treatment of time series in radio datasets of AGNs, such as light curves of quasars and BL Lacs. For this reason we selected two well- PKS 1921-293 (GHz) 4.8 1977-20121979-20118.0 1968-20121974-201114.5 1974-20121975-2011 The UMRAO datasets were acquired in frequencies of 4.8 GHz, 8.0 GHz and 14.5 GHz from radio sources PKS 1921-293 (OV 236) and PKS 2200+420 (BL Lacertae).…”

“…Physics is permanently expanding the scope of its application. A striking example is a direction called the physics of complex systems (see, e.g., works [1][2][3][4][5] and the references therein). In the framework of this approach, systems of different nature are analyzed from the same position.…”
