The phenomenon of degeneracy of an $N-$plet of bound states is studied in the framework of quantum theory of closed (i.e., unitary) systems. For an underlying Hamiltonian $H=H(\lambda)$ the degeneracy occurs at a Kato's exceptional point…
In systems subject to periodic boundary conditions, Haldane has shown that states at arbitrary filling fraction possess a degeneracy with respect to center of mass translations. An analysis is carried out for multi-component electron…
In this paper, based on a one-dimensional non-Hermitian spin model with $\mathcal{RT}$-invariant term, we study the non-Hermitian physics for the two (nearly) degenerate ground states. By using the high-order perturbation method, an…
We present several interesting phenomena related to flatband ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model. The first is a mathematical theorem stating certain conditions under which a flatband ferromagnetic must necessarily be degenerate with a…
To set up a self-consistent quantum field theory of degenerate systems, the unperturbed state should be described by a density matrix instead of a pure state. This increases the combinatorial complexity of the many-body equations. Hopf…
In a recent PRL, Gonze et al claim that the density functional theory in Hohenberg-Kohn formulation is not valid for crystalline solids in a homogenious electric field. They introduce another theory, density-and-polarization functional…
We show that the particle density, $\rho(\mathbf{r})$, and the paramagnetic current density, $\mathbf{j}^{p}(\mathbf{r})$, are not sufficient to determine the set of degenerate ground-state wave functions. This is a general feature of…
Conditions for the validity of the quantum adiabatic approximation are analyzed. For the case of linear Hamiltonians, a simple and general sufficient condition is derived, which is valid for arbitrary spectra and any kind of time variation.…
Degeneracies near the real axis in a complex-extended parameter space of a hermitian Hamiltonian are studied. We present a method to measure distributions of such degeneracies on the Riemann sheet of a selected level and apply it in…
In the present paper, we intent to enlarge the axiomatic framework of non-commutative quantum field theories (QFT). We consider QFT on non-commutative spacetimes in terms of the tempered ultrahyperfunctions of Sebasti\~ao e Silva…
We use the Decomposition Theorem to derive several generalizations of the Clemens-Schmid sequence, relating asymptotic Hodge theory of a degeneration to the mixed Hodge theory of its singular fiber(s).
We show that an elementary proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) exists. Our paper also extends the scope of FLT from integers to all rational numbers.
We prove a robust extension of the quantum adiabatic theorem. The theorem applies to systems that have resonances instead of bound states, and to systems for which just an approximation to a bound state is known. To demonstrate the…
The Gell-Mann and Low switching allows to transform eigenstates of an unperturbed Hamiltonian $H_0$ into eigenstates of the modified Hamiltonian $H_0 + V$. This switching can be performed when the initial eigenstate is not degenerate, under…
Quantum versions of de Finetti's theorem are powerful tools, yielding conceptually important insights into the security of key distribution protocols or tomography schemes and allowing to bound the error made by mean-field approaches. Such…
In frustrated antiferromagnets with isotropic exchange interactions, there is typically a manifold of degenerate classical ground states. This degeneracy is broken by the (free) energy of quantum or thermal fluctuations, or the uniform…
The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT) is broadly considered the conceptual basis for a full characterization of an electronic system in its ground state by just the one-body particle density. In this Part~II of a…
Under unitary time evolution, expectation values of physically reasonable observables often evolve towards the predictions of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) states that this is also true…
In the context of the observed decay $B \rightarrow K^* \gamma$ the applicability of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), treating both b and s as heavy quarks, is examined. We show that the heavy s-quark approximation, as can be found…
We study the properties of the survival probability of an unstable quantum state described by a Lee Hamiltonian. This theoretical approach resembles closely Quantum Field Theory (QFT): one can introduce in a rather simple framework the…
