In this work, we extend the so-called typicality approach, originally formulated in statistical mechanics contexts, to $SU(2)$-invariant spin-network states. Our results do not depend on the physical interpretation of the spin network;…
A state sum construction on closed manifolds \'{a} la Kuperberg can be used to construct the partition functions of $3D$ lattice gauge theories based on involutory Hopf algebras, $\mathcal{A}$, of which the group algebras, $\mathbb{C}G$,…
We adapt ideas of Phong, Stein and Sturm and ideas of Ikromov and M\"uller from the continuous setting to various discrete settings, obtaining sharp bounds for exponential sums and the number of solutions to polynomial congruences for…
Motivated by the expectation that relativistic symmetries might acquire quantum features in Quantum Gravity, we take the first steps towards a theory of ''Doubly'' Quantum Mechanics, a modification of Quantum Mechanics in which the…
State sum constructions, such as Kuperberg's algorithm, give partition functions of physical systems, like lattice gauge theories, in various dimensions by associating local tensors or weights, to different parts of a closed triangulated…
We construct new dispersive sum rules for the effective field theory of the standard model at mass dimension six. These spinning sum rules encode information about the spin of UV states: the sign of the IR Wilson coefficients carries a…
Sphere packings are essential to the development of physical models for powders, composite materials, and the atomic structure of the liquid state. There is a strong scientific need to be able to assess the fit of packing models to data,…
Systems of spin 1, such as triplet pairs of spin-1/2 fermions (like orthohydrogen nuclei) make useful three-terminal elements for quantum computation, and when interconnected by qubit equality relations are universal for quantum…
We extend the concept of classicality in quantum optics to spin states. We call a state ``classical'' if its density matrix can be decomposed as a weighted sum of angular momentum coherent states with positive weights. Classical spin states…
It has been understood that correlation functions of multi-trace operators in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM can be neatly computed using the group algebra of symmetric groups or walled Brauer algebras. On the other hand such algebras have been known to…
We give an algebraic proof of the spin-statistics connection for the parabosonic and parafermionic quantum topological charges of a theory of local observables with a modular PCT-symmetry. The argument avoids the use of the spinor calculus…
A short review of Algebraic Geometry tools for the decomposition of tensors and polynomials is given from the point of view of applications to quantum and atomic physics. Examples of application to assemblies of indistinguishable two-level…
The massless bosonic field compactified on the circle of rational $R^2$ is reexamined in the presense of boundaries. A particular class of models corresponding to $R^2=\frac{1}{2k}$ is distinguished by demanding the existence of a…
We construct invertible field theories generalizing abelian prequantum spin Chern-Simons theory to manifolds of dimension 4k+3 endowed with a Wu structure of degree 2k+2. After analysing the anomalies of a certain discrete symmetry, we…
Two integrals along the world trajectory of its curvature and torsion are added to the standard action for the point-like spinless relativistic particle. Since here the three-dimensional space-time is considered at the beginning, the…
It is possible to characterize certain states of matter by properties of their edge states. This implies a notion of `surface-only models': models which can only be regularized at the edge of a higher-dimensional system. After incorporating…
Spin coherent states play a crucial role in defining QESM (quasi-exactly solvable models) establishing a strict correspondence between energy spectra of spin systems and low-lying quantum states for a particle moving in a potential field of…
Using concepts of geometric orthogonality and linear independence, we logically deduce the form of the Pauli spin matrices and the relationships between the three spatially orthogonal basis sets of the spin-1/2 system. Rather than a…
The notion of the spin is shown to have two constituents, as exemplified by the spin of the electron. The first one is related to the form of the wave equation and determines the fermion or boson particle type. This implies the spin taking…
We present an alternative formalism for modeling spin. The ontological elements of this formalism are base-2 sequences of length $n$. The machinery necessary to model physics is then developed by considering correlations between base-2…
