We study the conformal field theory of a free massless scalar field living on the half line with interactions introduced via a periodic potential at the boundary. An SU(2) current algebra underlies this system and the interacting boundary…
By expressing the electronic wavefunction in an explicitly-correlated (Jastrow-factorised) form, a similarity-transformed effective Hamiltonian can be derived. The effective Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian and contains three-body interactions.…

Landau levels have represented a very rich field of research, which has gained widespread attention after their application to quantum Hall effect. In a particular gauge, the holomorphic gauge, they give a physical implementation of…
We propose a family of Abelian quantum Hall states termed the non-diagonal states, which arise at filling factors $\nu=p/2q$ for bosonic systems and $\nu=p/(p+2q)$ for fermionic systems, with $p$ and $q$ being two coprime integers.…
The Interacting Boson Model of nuclear structure is introduced to the unitarity limit. Non relativistic conformal symmetry creates a scale invariant state from which the stationary states of atomic nuclei are obtained. A brief discussion of…
Quadratic band touching in fermionic systems defines a universality class distinct from that of linear Dirac points, yet its characterization as a quantum critical point remains incomplete. In this work, I show that a $(d+1)$-dimensional…
In this paper we study the local behavior of solutions to some free boundary problems. We relate the theory of quasi-conformal maps to the regularity of the solutions to nonlinear thin-obstacle problems; we prove that the contact set is…
Entanglement in finite and semi-infinite free Fermionic chains is studied. A parallel is drawn with the analysis of time and band limiting in signal processing. It is shown that a tridiagonal matrix commuting with the entanglement…
Recently, open systems with balanced, spatially separated loss and gain have been realized and studied using non-Hermitian Hamiltonians that are invariant under the combined parity and time-reversal ($\mathcal{PT}$) operations. Here, we…
The Landau problem is discussed in two similar but still different non-commutative frameworks. The ``standard'' one, where the coupling to the gauge field is achieved using Poisson brackets, yields all Landau levels. The ``exotic''…
We study the entanglement Hamiltonian for free-fermion chains with a particular form of inhomogeneity. The hopping amplitudes and chemical potentials are chosen such that the single-particle eigenstates are related to discrete orthogonal…
Light-front Fock state wavefunctions encode the bound state properties of hadrons in terms of their quark and gluon degrees of freedom at the amplitude level. The freedom to choose the light-like quantization four-vector provides an…
We find a two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian for the time-symmetric problem of straight line motion of two electrons in direct relativistic interaction. This time-symmetric dynamical system appeared 100 years ago and it was popularized in…
We examine the correspondence between the conformal field theory of boundary operators and two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. By consideration of domain boundaries in two-dimensional critical systems, and the invariance of the hyperbolic…
We consider a free quantum particle in one dimension whose mass profile exhibits jump discontinuities. The corresponding Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint realisation of the kinetic-energy operator, with the specific realisation determined by…
We study a single particle diffusing on a triangular lattice and interacting with a heat bath, using boundary conformal field theory (CFT) and exact integrability techniques. We derive a correspondence between the phase diagram of this…
We investigate the arising of an analogue of the Landau quantization from a background of the violation of the Lorentz symmetry established by a time-like 4-vector and a field configuration of crossed electric and magnetic field. We also…
Two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with an elliptic equilibrium at the origin are characterised by the frequencies of the linearisation. Considering the frequencies as parameters, the system undergoes a bifurcation when the…
The theory of a massless two-dimensional scalar field with a periodic boundary interaction is considered. At a critical value of the period this system defines a conformal field theory and can be re-expressed in terms of free fermions,…
