Conformal deep learning models pion form factor from first principles

Researchers have developed a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) utilizing a conformal z-plane to extract the pion electromagnetic form factor $F_{\pi}(s)$. This novel approach integrates fundamental S-matrix principles like analyticity and dispersion relations directly into the neural network's loss function, ensuring adherence to first principles while using data as constraints. The method addresses known deep-learning optimization failures by mapping the complex plane to a unit disk, which bounds the Hessian norm and prevents Neural Tangent Kernel spectral starvation. The study incorporates data from $e^+e^-$ scattering and $\tau$-decay, yielding model-independent estimates for the pion charge radius, $\langle r_{\pi}^2 \rangle$, the $\rho(770)$ pole parameters, and the two-pion contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_{\mu}^{\pi\pi}$.
