Today, performing ab initio calculations (a) of heavy nuclei, (b) of doubly open-shell nuclei or (c) with a sub-percent accuracy is at the forefront of nuclear structure theory. While combining any two of these features constitutes a major challenge, addressing the three at the same time is currently impossible. From a numerical standpoint, these challenges relate to the necessity to handle (i) very large single-particle bases and (ii) mode-6, i.e. three-body, tensors (iii) that must be stored repeatedly. Performing second-order many-body perturbation theory(ies) calculations based on triaxially deformed and superfluid reference states of doubly open-shell nuclei up to mass <span>(A=72)</span>, the present work achieves a significant step forward by addressing challenge (i). To do so, the memory and computational cost associated with the handling of large tensors is scaled down via the use of tensor factorization techniques. The presently used factorization format is based on a randomized singular value decomposition that does not require the computation and storage of the very large initial tensor. The procedure delivers an inexpensive and controllable approximation to the original problem, as presently illustrated for calculations that could not be performed without tensor factorization. With the presently developed technology at hand, one can envision to perform calculations of yet heavier doubly open-shell nuclei at sub-percent accuracy in a foreseeable future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":786,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal A","volume":"60 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mixture Density Networks (MDNs) enable learning from available data, predicting unknowns, and quantifying uncertainties simultaneously.
