In the jet bundle description of Field Theories (multisymplectic models, in particular), there are several choices for the multimomentum bundle where the covariant Hamiltonian formalism takes place. As a consequence, several proposals for…

We show that the electronic spectrum of a tight-binding Hamiltonian defined in a quasiperiodic chain with an on-site potential given by a Fibonacci sequence, can be obtained as a superposition of Harper potentials. The electronic spectrum…

Two quantum theories which look different but are secretly describing the same low-energy physics are said to be dual to each other. When realized in the Topological Holography formalism, duality corresponds to changing the gapped boundary…
