We propose a mixedness quantifier based on entropy fluctuations. It provides information about the degree of mixedness either for finite dimensional and infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. It may be used to determine the reduction of the…
By means of free fermionic techniques we study the time evolution of the entanglement entropy, S(t), of a block of spins in the random transverse-field Ising chain after a sudden change of the parameters of the Hamiltonian. We consider…
In this paper we present an extendible, block gluing $\mathbb Z^3$ shift of finite type $W^{\text{el}}$ in which the topological entropy equals the $L$-projectional entropy for a two-dimensional sublattice $L:=\mathbb Z \vec{e}_1+\mathbb…
We show that the sets of periods of multidimensional shifts of finite type (SFTs) are exactly the sets of integers of the complexity class $\NE$. We also show that the functions counting their number are the functions of #E. We also give…
We study the entanglement entropy of blocks of contiguous spins in non-periodic (quasi-periodic or more generally aperiodic) critical Heisenberg, XX and quantum Ising spin chains, e.g. in Fibonacci chains. For marginal and relevant…
Applying three independent techniques, we give numerical evidence for a finite superfluid density in isotropic hole-doped t--J ladders: We show the existence of anomalous flux quantization, emphasising the contrasting behaviour to that…
In this paper we study the directions of periodicity of three-dimensional subshifts of finite type (SFTs) and in particular their slopes. A configuration of a subshift has a slope of periodicity if it is periodic in exactly one direction,…
Let $G$ be a residually finite group and let $A$ be a finite set. We prove that if $X \subset A^G$ is a strongly irreducible subshift of finite type containing a periodic configuration then periodic configurations are dense in $X$. The…
Hom shifts form a class of multidimensional shifts of finite type (SFT) and consist of colorings of the grid Z2 where adjacent colours must be neighbors in a fixed finite undirected simple graph G. This class includes several important…
A homshift is a $d$-dimensional shift of finite type which arises as the space of graph homomorphisms from the grid graph $\mathbb Z^d$ to a finite connected undirected graph $G$. While shifts of finite type are known to be mired by the…
We show that topological mixing, weak mixing and total transitivity are equivalent for coded systems. We provide an example of a mixing coded system which cannot be approximated by any increasing sequence of mixing shifts of finite type,…
We consider a two-parameter family of random substitutions and show certain combinatorial and topological properties they satisfy. We establish that they admit recognisable words at every level. As a consequence, we get that the subshifts…
The scaling behavior of the entanglement entropy in the two-dimensional random transverse field Ising model is studied numerically through the strong disordered renormalization group method. We find that the leading term of the entanglement…
Using free-fermionic techniques we study the entanglement entropy of a block of contiguous spins in a large finite quantum Ising chain in a transverse field, with couplings of different types: homogeneous, periodically modulated and random.…
Generalizing a result of MacDonald we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an arbitrary subshift to embed into an irreducible sofic shift factoring through a given cover by an irreducible subshift of finite type (SFT). We obtain…
Relative entropy is a non-negative quantity and offers a powerful means of achieving a unified understanding of fundamental properties in physics, including the second law of thermodynamics and positivity bounds on effective field theories…
We prove that a hyperbolic group admits a strongly aperiodic subshift of finite type if and only if it has at most one end.
Combinatorial characterisations are obtained of symmetric and anti-symmetric infinitesimal rigidity for two-dimensional frameworks with reflectional symmetry in the case of norms where the unit ball is a quadrilateral and where the…
In this work, we prove that every SFT, sofic shift, and strongly irreducible shift on locally finite groups has strong dynamical properties. These properties include that every sofic shift is an SFT, every SFT is strongly irreducible, every…
We study the properties of glued knots, a sub-class of real rational knots, that can be constructed by gluing ellipses. We define an invariant called the gluing degree and relate it to various classical properties of knots and classify all…
