We provide a systematic study on the possibility of supersymmetry (SUSY) for one dimensional quantum mechanical systems consisting of a pair of lines $\R$ or intervals [-l, l] each having a point singularity. We consider the most general…
We reformulate Kontsevich-Soibelman wall-crossing formulae for 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ class $\mathcal{S}$ theories and corresponding BPS quivers, including those of wild type, as identities for generating series of symmetric quivers that…
We explore a previously unknown connection between two important problems in physics, i.e., quantum macroscopicity and the quantum phase transition. We devise a general and computable measure of quantum macroscopicity that can be applied to…
A model for $n$ superparticles in $(d-n,n)$ dimensions is studied. The target space supersymmetry involves a product of $n$ momentum generators, and the action has $n(n+1)/2$ local bosonic symmetries and $n$ local fermionic symmetries. The…
Motivated by the counting of BPS states in string theory with orientifolds, we study moduli spaces of self-dual representations of a quiver with contravariant involution. We develop Hall module techniques to compute the number of points…
Several refinements are made in a theory which starts with a Planck-scale statistical picture and ends with supersymmetry and a coupling of fundamental fermions and bosons to SO(N) gauge fields. In particular, more satisfactory treatments…
In this work, a spin $\frac 12$ relativistic particle described by a generalized potential containing both the Coulomb potential and a Lorentz scalar potential in Dirac equation is investigated in terms of the generalized ladder operators…
We study quantum mechanics in the stochastic formulation, using the functional integral approach. The noise term enters the classical action as a local contribution of anticommuting fields. The partition function is not invariant under…
This work discusses simple examples how quantum systems are obtained as subsystems of classical statistical systems. For a single qubit with arbitrary Hamiltonian and for the quantum particle in a harmonic potential we provide explicitly…
An important question concerning the classical solutions of the equations of motion arising in quantum field theories at the BPS critical coupling is whether all finite-energy solutions are necessarily BPS. In this paper we present a study…
The class of relativistic spin particle models reveals the `quantization' of parameters already at the classical level. The special parameter values emerge if one requires the maximality of classical global continuous symmetries. The same…
We introduce an effective theory with manifest particle-vortex symmetry for disordered thin films undergoing a magnetic field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition. The theory may enable one to access both the critical properties of the…
We compute the Witten index of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase matrix quantum mechanics, which counts the number of ground states as well as the difference between the numbers of bosonic and fermionic BPS states with nonzero spins. The…
When formulated in twistor space, the D-instanton corrected hypermultiplet moduli space in N=2 string vacua and the Coulomb branch of rigid N=2 gauge theories on $R^3 \times S^1$ are strikingly similar and, to a large extent, dictated by…
In this work we introduce the class of quantum mechanics superpotentials $W(x)=g\epsilon(x) x^{2n}$ and study in details the cases $n=0$ and 1. The $n=0$ superpotential is shown to lead to the known problem of two supersymmetrically related…
A growing body of evidence suggests that the complexity of Feynman integrals is best understood through geometry. Recent mathematical developments [Kontsevich and Soibelman, arXiv:2402.07343] have illuminated the role of exponential…
Partial symmetries are described by generalized group structures known as symmetric inverse semigroups. We use the algebras arising from these structures to realize supersymmetry in (0+1) dimensions and to build many-body quantum systems on…
We explore a way of universal quantum computation with particles which cannot occupy the same position simultaneously and are symmetric under exchange of particle labels. Therefore the associated creation and annihilation operators are…
We unveil the existence of a non-trivial Berry phase associated to the dynamics of a quantum particle in a one dimensional box with moving walls. It is shown that a suitable choice of boundary conditions has to be made in order to preserve…
We consider the analogy between the topological phase transition which occurs as a function of spatial coordinate on a surface of a non-trivial insulator, and the one which occurs in the bulk due to the change of internal parameters (such…
