Let $A$ be a unital C$^*$-algebra and let $\sigma$ be a one-parameter automorphism group of $A$. We consider $\operatorname{QSS}_\sigma(A)$, the set of all quantum symmetric states on $*_1^\infty A$ that are also KMS states (for a fixed…

In the framework of deformation quantization we apply the formal GNS construction to find representations of the deformed algebras in pre-Hilbert spaces over $\mathbb C[[\lambda]]$ and establish the notion of local operators in these…

We compute the quantum information metrics of a thermal CFT on $\mathbb R^{1,1}$ perturbed by the scalar primary operators of conformal dimension $\Delta=3,4,5,6$. In particular, we assume that the Hamiltonian of the mixed state commutes…

Given a local quantum field theory net A on the de Sitter spacetime dS^d, where geodesic observers are thermalized at Gibbons-Hawking temperature, we look for observers that feel to be in a ground state, i.e. particle evolutions with…

A recently proposed method for the characterization and analysis of local equilibrium states in relativistic quantum field theory is applied to a simple model. Within this model states are identified which are locally (but not globally) in…

We construct the functional integral of Abelian Chern-Simons theory with toral gauge group $\mathbb T=\mathfrak t/\Lambda \cong U(1)^n$ at level $K$, where $K:\Lambda\times\Lambda\to\mathbb Z$ is an even, integral, nondegenerate symmetric…

In this paper, a series of $\nu=2/5$ fractional quantum Hall wave functions are constructed from conformal field theory(CFT). They share the same topological properties with states constructed by Jain's composite fermion approach. Upon…

We completely classify the KMS states for the gauge action on a $C^*$-algebra associated with a rational function $R$ introduced in our previous work. The gauge action has a phase transition at $\beta = \log \deg R$. We can recover the…

We review a notion of completeness in QFT arising from the analysis of basic properties of the set of operator algebras attached to regions. In words, this completeness asserts that the physical observable algebras produced by local degrees…

We investigate the completeness of Gabor systems with respect to several classes of window functions on rational lattices. Our main results show that the time-frequency shifts of every finite linear combination of Hermite functions with…

In [Can et al. 2016], quantum Hall states on singular surfaces were shown to possess an emergent conformal symmetry. In this paper, we develop this idea further and flesh out details on the emergent conformal symmetry in holomorphic…

We establish a connection between ground states of local quantum Hamiltonians and thermal states of classical spin systems. For any discrete classical statistical mechanical model in any spatial dimension, we find an associated quantum…

In this paper, we consider a generalized Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{T} ( \mathrm{P}\rtimes\Bbb N^{\times})$ for a non-quasi-lattice ordered semigroup $ \mathrm{P}\rtimes\Bbb N^{\times}$ where $ \mathrm{P}\rtimes\Bbb N^{\times}$ is a…

We analyze the 1+1 CFT states dual to hot (time-symmetric) 2+1 multiboundary AdS wormholes. These are black hole geometries with high local temperature, $n \ge 1$ asymptotically-AdS$_3$ regions, and arbitrary internal topology. The dual…

We consider unitary CFTs with continuous global symmetries in $d>2$. We consider a state created by the lightest operator of large charge $Q \gg 1$ and analyze the correlator of two light charged operators in this state. We assume that the…

The treatment of degenerate states within Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) is a problem of longstanding interest. We propose a solution to this mapping from the interacting degenerate system to that of the noninteracting fermion…

We describe a coordinate-free notion of conformal nets as a mathematical model of conformal field theory. We define defects between conformal nets and introduce composition of defects, thereby providing a notion of morphism between…

We consider a family of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras associated to self-similar group actions, and their Toeplitz analogues. Both families carry natural dynamics implemented by automorphic actions of the real line, and we investigate the…
