We construct the causal fermion system for globally hyperbolic spacetimes starting in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. The fermionic projector is identified with the one-particle density operator of a quasi-free Hadamard…
We study the Dirac equation in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om geometry in horizon-penetrating coordinates up to the Cauchy horizon. A mass decomposition theorem is proved, which gives a covariant representation of the spacetime inner product that…
This note studies the quantized corner structure of four-dimensional $BF$ theory, classifies the associated free and physical corner algebras and constructs possible representations. In the abelian case, for arbitrary closed oriented…
Ideal density-functional approximations (DFAs) should account for dynamic, static, and nondynamic correlation. While common DFAs struggle with the latter two, the Ziegler-Rauk-Baerends-Daul multiplet sum method (MSM) provides a pragmatic…
We study a determinantal Coulomb gas in the complex plane associated with the external potential $$ Q(z)=\frac{1}{1-\tau^2}\big(|z|^2-\tau \text{Re } z^2\big)-2c\log|z-a|, $$ where $\tau\in[0,1)$, $c\ge0$, and $a\ge0$. In the regimes where…
It is well known that band inversion across a straight interface in a periodic medium gives rise to interface modes that are localized near the interface and propagate along it inside the bulk spectral gap. This phenomenon constitutes the…
We investigate constrained quantum motion on curves and surfaces using connection factorization methods. We show that Laplace operators admit an exact half-connection factorization generated by connection one-forms. The first-order part of…
Timelike Liouville field theory is a candidate model for positive curvature two-dimensional quantum gravity, but a mathematically controlled Lorentzian formulation has remained elusive. In this paper we construct the theory on the cylinder…
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the energy levels are a negative constant divided by the square of the level number. It is well known that special pairs of transitions exist that have the same energy difference, and a systematic…
Fundamental understanding of interatomic forces in molecules must emerge from quantum mechanics, yet widely used empirical force fields rely on simplified mechanistic approximations that often fail to capture the complexity of many-body…
We present an evaluation of CSP-MACE-{\AA}, a machine learning interatomic potential intended to replace DFT in crystal structure prediction (CSP). We decompose the total energy into separate intramolecular and intermolecular components.…
We consider a certain first-order linear system of ordinary differential equations, and we analyze the direct and inverse scattering problems for that linear system. The linear system involves two potentials in the Schwartz class, and those…
Using direct methods of the calculus of variations we establish the existence of an infinite class of spherically-symmetric solutions to the multi-field Schr\"odinger-Poisson system. This is achieved by proving that the energy functional…
Resonances from electron attachment to $\text{NO}_2$ have been identified in the total electron scattering cross sections (TCS) measured with a magnetically confined electron transmission apparatus. The corresponding absolute electron…
In this paper, we focus on the two-component (2+1)-dimensional Fokas-Lenells equation, which models the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in nonlinear media with multi-mode interactions and multi-dimensional effects. Firstly, we…
A key challenge for molecular dynamics simulations is efficient exploration of free energy landscapes over relevant collective variables (CV). Common methods for enhancing sampling become prohibitively inefficient beyond only a few CVs; in…
Following our previous work (J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2026, 17, 5, 1288-1295), we propose the DMTS-NC approach, a distilled multi-time-step (DMTS) strategy using non-conservative (NC) forces to further accelerate atomistic molecular dynamics…
The string hypothesis of Bethe roots is a cornerstone in the thermodynamic analysis of quantum integrable systems, since it connects root configurations with physical quantities such as the ground-state energy, surface energy and excitation…
We introduce classical and non-deterministic finite automata associated with representations of the braid group. After briefly reviewing basic definitions on finite automata, Coxeter's groups and the associated word problem, we turn to the…
The classical definitions of the Incipient Infinite Cluster (IIC) of percolation consist in conditioning the origin on being connected to radius $n$ and letting $n$ go to infinity. We provide a short proof of that convergence in the planar…
