The Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Hamiltonian is a random quadratic function on the high-dimensional sphere. This article studies the ground state (i.e. maximum) of this Hamiltonian with external field, or more generally with a non-linear "spike"…

We apply classical algorithms for approximately solving constraint satisfaction problems to find bounds on extremal eigenvalues of local Hamiltonians. We consider spin Hamiltonians for which we have an upper bound on the number of terms in…

We give a classical $1/(qk+1)$-approximation for the maximum eigenvalue of a $k$-sparse fermionic Hamiltonian with strictly $q$-local terms, as well as a $1/(4k+1)$-approximation when the Hamiltonian has both $2$-local and $4$-local terms.…

A translation-invariant gapped local Hamiltonian is in the trivial phase if it can be connected to a completely decoupled Hamiltonian with a smooth path of translation-invariant gapped local Hamiltonians. For the ground state of such a…

This paper proposes a local representation for Empirical Likelihood (EL). EL admits the classical local linear quadratic representation by its likelihood ratio property. A local estimator is derived by using the new representation.…

The spectrum of a local random Hamiltonian can be represented generically by the so-called $\epsilon$-free convolution of its local terms' probability distributions. We establish an isomorphism between the set of $\epsilon$-noncrossing…

We derive localized and global noncompact versions of Hamilton's gradient estimate for positive solutions to the heat equation on Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. Our estimates are essentially optimal and…

We consider the simulation of the dynamics of one nonlocal Hamiltonian by another, allowing arbitrary local resources but no entanglement nor classical communication. We characterize notions of simulation, and proceed to focus on…

The main purpose of this paper is to give a topological and symplectic classification of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in terms of characteristic classes and other local and global invariants.

We study the dynamical behavior of the Sherrington Kirkpatrick model. Thanks to the APE supercomputer we are able to analyze large lattice volumes, and to investigate the low $T$ region. We present a determination of the remnant…

We show that a method proposed recently, based on the characteristic polynomial of an effective Hamiltonian, had been developed several years earlier by other authors in a clearer and more general way. We outline both implementations of the…

With the aim to solve the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation associated to a time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we introduce a unitary transformation that maps the Hamiltonian to a time-independent $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric one.…

In this note, we consider a SK (Sherrington--Kirkpatrick)-type model on Z^d for d greater or equal to 1, weighted by a function allowing to any single spin to interact with a small proportion of the other ones. In the thermodynamical limit,…

We introduce here a new universality conjecture for levels of random Hamiltonians, in the same spirit as the local REM conjecture made by S. Mertens and H. Bauke. We establish our conjecture for a wide class of Gaussian and non-Gaussian…

For affine stochastic differential equation with uniformly distributed time delay the local asymptotic properties of the likelihood function are studied. Local asymptotic normality, local asymptotic mixed normality, periodic local…

Given a generic time-dependent many-body quantum state, we determine the associated parent Hamiltonian. This procedure may require, in general, interactions of any sort. Enforcing the requirement of a fixed set of engineerable Hamiltonians,…

Local Hamiltonians, $H_k$, describe non-trivial $k$-body interactions in quantum many-body systems. Here, we address the dynamical simulatability of a $k$-local Hamiltonian by a simpler one, $H_{k'}$, with $k'<k$, under the realistic…

A new method to work out the Hermitian correspondence of a PT-symmetric quantum mechanical Hamiltonian is proposed. In contrast to the conventional method, the new method ends with a local Hamiltonian of the form p^2/2+m^2x^2/2+v(x) without…
