DualityCert: AI Repair of Quantum Field Theory Claims
A team of researchers has introduced DualityCert, a symbolic verification tool designed for assessing Seiberg-duality assertions within four-dimensional N=1 quiver gauge theories. This tool evaluates 't Hooft anomaly matching, the consistency of superpotential R-charges, central-charge matching, and a limited chiral-ring proxy. Claims that pass the verification process obtain a consistency certificate, which signifies that no inconsistencies were detected, but does not serve as a proof of duality. The verifier functions as a corrective framework for language-model agents, which are tasked with editing intentionally flawed claims until they achieve certification. In a preregistered test involving 145 flawed claims, the verifier-enhanced retries led to an increase in repair success rates by +8.3 percentage points for deepseek-chat and +7.1 pp for qwen-plus (Holm-adjusted p<0.002). The findings can be found on arXiv with the identifier 2607.23614.
Key facts
- DualityCert is a symbolic verifier for Seiberg-duality claims in 4D N=1 quiver gauge theories.
- The verifier checks 't Hooft anomaly matching, superpotential R-charge consistency, central-charge matching, and a bounded chiral-ring proxy.
- A passing claim receives a consistency certificate, not a proof of duality.
- The verifier is used as a repair environment for language-model agents.
- Benchmark: 145 broken claims, preregistered with analysis fixed before confirmatory model call.
- Verifier-gated retry improves repair success by +8.3 pp on deepseek-chat and +7.1 pp on qwen-plus.
- Holm-adjusted p<0.002 for the improvements.
- The paper is on arXiv:2607.23614.
