We analyze the recently discovered localized and non-uniform phases of the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind (BFSS) matrix quantum mechanics. Building on [1], we provide first-principles derivations of their properties and extend the results…

We study (higher order) asymptotic behaviour near branch points of stationary $n$-dimensional two-valued $C^{1, \mu}$ graphs in an open subset of ${\mathbb R}^{n+m}$. Specifically, if $M$ is the graph of a two-valued $C^{1, \mu}$ function…
We study the asymptotic convergence of solutions as $t\rightarrow\infty$ of $\partial_t u=-f(u)+\int f(u)$, a nonlocal differential equation that is formally a gradient flow in a constant-mass subspace of $L^2$ arising from simplified…
A simple effective model for the intermediate-density regime is constructed from the high-density effective theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In the effective model, under a renormalization-group (RG) scaling towards low momenta, the…
We study a class of integral functionals known as nonlocal perimeters, which, intuitively, express a weighted interaction between a set and its complement. The weight is provided by a positive kernel K, which might be singular. In the first…
We derive the exact solution of a one-dimensional Markov functional model with log-normally distributed interest rates in discrete time. The model is shown to have two distinct limiting states, corresponding to small and asymptotically…
We numerically investigate the quantum phases and phase transition in a system made of two species of fermionic atoms that interact with each other via $s$-wave Feshbach resonance, and are subject to rotation or a synthetic gauge field that…
This paper is devoted to the convergence analysis of stochastic approximation algorithms of the form $\theta\_{n+1} = \theta\_n + \gamma\_{n+1} H\_{\theta\_n}(X\_{n+1})$ where $\{\theta\_nn, n \geq 0\}$ is a $R^d$-valued sequence,…
The asymptotic behavior of an anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard functional with prescribed mass and Dirichlet boundary condition is studied when the parameter epsilon that determines the width of the transition layers tends to zero. The double-well…
We study the work statistics of a periodically-driven integrable closed quantum system, addressing in particular the role played by the presence of a quantum critical point. Taking the example of a one-dimensional transverse Ising model in…
We explore the effects of asymmetry of hopping parameters between double parallel quantum dots and the leads on the conductance and a possibility of local magnetic moment formation in this system using functional renormalization group…
Some theorems on derivatives of the Coulomb density functional with respect to the coupling constant $\lambda$ are given. Consider an electron density $n_{GS}({\bf r})$ given by a ground state. A model Fermion system with the reduced…

We develop an alternative approach to the study of Fourier series, based on the Short-Time-Fourier Transform (STFT) acting on $L_{\nu }^{2}(0,1)$, the space of measurable functions $f$ in ${R}$, square-integrable in $ (0,1)$, and…
A series of sigma models with torsion are analysed which generate their mass dynamically but whose ultra-violet fixed points are non-trivial conformal field theories -- in fact SU(2) WZW models at level $k$. In contrast to the more familiar…
We study solutions of the functional eigenstate equation of a free quantum field Hamiltonian. Admissible solutions are to have a finite norm and a finite eigenvalue w.r.t. the norm and eigenvalue of the ground state of the free theory. We…
