We discuss ground state factorization schemes in spin $S$ arrays with general $XYZ$ couplings under general magnetic fields, not necessarily uniform or transverse. It is first shown that given arbitrary spin alignment directions at each…
In the large polaron model of H. Froehlich, the electron-phonon interaction is a small perturbation in form sense, but a large perturbation in operator sense. This means that the form-domain of the Hamiltonian is not affected by the…

Entanglement is analyzed in the Majorana fermion conformal field theory (CFT) in the vacuum, in the fermion state, and in states built from conformal interfaces. In the boundary-state approach, the Hilbert space admits two factorizations…
We investigate a spinless fermion system on a one dimensional lattice interacting locally with the optical modes of a quantized phonon field: the Holstein model. The system is shown to have a disordered ground state, for small enough…
Higgs boson compositeness is a phenomenologically viable scenario addressing the hierarchy problem. In minimal models, the Higgs boson is the only degree of freedom of the strong sector below the strong interaction scale. We present here…
