We prove a matrix inequality for convex functions of a Hermitian matrix on a bipartite space. As an application we reprove and extend some theorems about eigenvalue asymptotics of Schr\"odinger operators with homogeneous potentials. The…
We study the zero modes of the operator $H_f=D^*_fD_f$, with a Dirac type operator $D_f$, acting on the spinor bundle over a closed even dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$. The operator $D_f=D+ifI$ is a deformation of the Dirac operator…
We introduce a set of axioms for locally topologically ordered quantum spin systems in terms of nets of local ground state projections, and we show they are satisfied by Kitaev's Toric Code and Levin-Wen type models. For a locally…
We consider a class of non-integrable 2D Ising models obtained by perturbing the nearest-neighbor model via a weak, finite range potential which preserves translation and spin-flip symmetry, and we study its critical theory in the…
We investigate the global structure of topological defects which wrap a submanifold $F\subset M$ in a quantum field theory defined on a closed manifold $M$. The Pontryagin-Thom construction oversees the interplay between the global…
The definition of an action functional for the Jacobi sigma models, known for Jacobi brackets of functions, is generalized to \emph{Jacobi bundles}, i.e., Lie brackets on sections of (possibly nontrivial) line bundles, with the particular…
From some observations on the linear differential operators occurring in the Lattice Green function of the d-dimensional face centred and simple cubic lattices, and on the linear differential operators occurring in the n-particle…
We present a new method to derive exact cumulant expressions of any order of von Neumann entropy over Hilbert-Schmidt ensemble. The new method uncovers hidden cumulant structures that decouple each cumulant in a summation-free manner into…
The Type D asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is a particle system involving two classes of particles that can be viewed from both a probabilistic and an algebraic perspective (arXiv:2011.13473). From a probabilistic perspective, we…
In this paper we present a general framework to construct integrable $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extensions of classical, two-dimensional Toda and conformal affine Toda theories. The scheme is applied to define the extended Liouville and…
We present a unifying proof to derive the strong spatial mixing (SSM) property for the general 2-spin system from zero-free regions of its partition function. Our proof works for the multivariate partition function over all three complex…
Kato's well known distributional inequality for the magnetic Laplacian holds equally in the more general setting of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics (QED), where the wave function is vector-valued and the vector potential is…
In this paper, we revisit the Dobrushin uniqueness theorem for Gibbs measures of lattice systems of interacting particles at thermal equilibrium. In a nutshell, Dobrushin's uniqueness theorem provides a practical way to derive sufficient…
We study from an algebraic and geometric viewpoint Hamiltonian operators which are sum of a non-degenerate first-order homogeneous operator and a Poisson tensor. In flat coordinates, also known as Darboux coordinates, these operators are…
Einstein algebra, the concept due to Geroch, is essentially general relativity in an algebraic disguise. We introduce the concept of Einstein-Grassmann algebra as a superalgebra (defining a supermanifold) which is also an Einstein algebra.…
We study the ultraviolet problem for models of a finite-dimensional quantum mechanical system linearly coupled to a bosonic quantum field, such as the (many-)spin boson model or its rotating-wave approximation. If the state change of the…
Here we establish conditions for some pairs of quantum logic gates which operate on one qubit to be protected against crosstalk.
In this article, we review some notions of ballistic transport from the mathematics and physics literature, describe their basic interrelations, and contrast them with other commonly studied notions of wave packet spread.
The random XXZ quantum spin chain manifests localization (in the form of quasi-locality) in any fixed energy interval, as previously proved by the authors. In this article it is shown that this property implies slow propagation of…
This is a book about Lieb's Simplified approach to the Bose gas, which is a family of effective single-particle equations to study the ground state of many-body systems of interacting Bosons. It was introduced by Lieb in 1963, and recently…
