Exact CHY Integrand Construction Using Combinatorial Neural Networks and Discrete Optimization
Abstract
Constructing a rational CHY integrand that realizes prescribed physical pole constraints is a discrete inverse problem whose combinatorial complexity grows with multiplicity. We encode the pole hierarchy through generalized pole degrees (channels ), defined as signed internal-edge counts associated with particle subsets in a colored integrand graph. Additivity under integrand multiplication together with the elementary face recursion on the subset lattice expresses all higher-channel as linear functions of the two-particle data and reduces the inverse step to a mixed-integer linear feasibility problem. The subset lattice provides a fixed dependency graph for deterministic message passing with forward evaluation and backward residual propagation; this computation is parameter-free and involves no training. In factorial-rescaled variables , every local update is integral, so propagation is exact in the rescaled recursion variables and does not rely on numerical reconstruction. We further organize generalized integrand graphs by an -regular grading under multiplication, where degree-zero (0-regular) factors act as M\"obius-invariant insertions that can be decomposed into four-point cross ratios. We illustrate the construction at six and eight points, including pick-pole selection and higher-order pole reduction.
