Super-resolution emulator of cosmological simulations using deep physical models
Open accessAbstract
We present an extension of our recently developed Wasserstein optimized model to emulate accurate high-resolution (HR) features from computationally cheaper low-resolution (LR) cosmological simulations. Our deep physical modelling technique relies on restricted neural networks to perform a mapping of the distribution of the LR cosmic density field to the space of the HR small-scale structures. We constrain our network using a single triplet of HR initial conditions and the corresponding LR and HR evolved dark matter simulations from the quijote suite of simulations. We exploit the information content of the HR initial conditions as a well-constructed prior distribution from which the network emulates the small-scale structures. Once fitted, our physical model yields emulated HR simulations at low computational cost, while also providing some insights about how the large-scale modes affect the small-scale structure in real space.

Ramanah et al. (2020) were able to upsample by factor 2 the resolution of the final density field, reproducing power spectrum, density contrast PDF, and bispectrum.
“With this approach, the authors were able to upsample by a factor of 2 the resolution of the final density field, while reproducing faithfully a number of field properties including the power spectrum, the density contrast probability density function, and the bispectrum.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
