In this note, we study two-point correlation functions of modular Hamiltonians. We show that in general quantum systems, these correlators obey properties similar to those of von Neumann entropy and capacity of entanglement, both of which…

The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is a shear instability and thus its sensitivity to the shear parameter $q = - d\ln\Omega/d\ln r $ is of interest to investigate. Motivated by astrophysical disks, most (but not all) previous MRI…
We exactly calculate two-point spatial correlation functions in steady state in a broad class of conserved-mass transport processes, which are governed by chipping, diffusion and coalescence of masses. We find that the spatial correlations…
