We compute the spectrum of massless gauge singlets in some heterotic string compactifications using Landau-Ginzburg, orbifold and non-linear sigma-model methods. This probes the worldsheet instanton corrections to the quadratic terms in the…
Altermagnets (AMs) exhibit vanishing net magnetization but strong momentum-dependent spin splitting enforced by crystal symmetry. Here, we explore the non-Hermitian effects in dissipative two-dimensional AMs. We show that symmetry-compliant…
The Fermi edge singularity and the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe describe the universal physics which occurs when a Fermi sea is locally quenched by the sudden switching of a scattering potential, leading to a brutal disturbance of its…
The present paper is the second part of our project in which we describe quantum field theories with instantons in a novel way by using the "infinite radius limit" (rather than the limit of free field theory) as the starting point. The…
