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…
Externally seeded free-electron lasers (FELs) are promising approaches for generating fully coherent soft-X-ray radiation. Their extension to shorter wavelengths and MHz-level repetition rates is, however, constrained by the limited…
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…
Following the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Feasibility Study completion, the impedance model for the FCC-ee High-Energy Booster (HEB) has been significantly expanded beyond the initial copper vacuum pipe resistive wall analysis. This…
Network psychometrics conceptualises psychological constructs as emergent properties of systems of interacting variables. Energy-based probabilistic models have gained popularity as models of these interactions, but their psychometric…
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…
This document presents the energy-saving metric of the project Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems (iSAS), funded by the EU under its program HORIZON-INFRA-2023-TECH-01 via grant agreement n{\deg}101131435 (milestone 9.5)
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…
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…
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…
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…
Permanent magnet electron optics offer many advantages over electromagnets, and are being increasingly used in high-energy (GeV) electron accelerator designs. Here, we identify the advantages of permanent magnet electron optics for…
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…
Consider a non-relativistic quantum particle with wave function $\psi$ in a bounded $C^2$ region $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and suppose detectors are placed along the boundary $\partial \Omega$. Assume the detection process is…
